Services
Hands-on engineering for the platforms underneath your services
We design, build and fix infrastructure alongside your team. You get working automation and the knowledge to keep it running.
Private cloud and self-service
Give teams a governed catalogue of infrastructure they can request in minutes, with approvals and lifecycle controls built in.
Infrastructure automation
Replace manual builds and runbooks with version-controlled automation for VM deployment, updates, tenant networking and applications.
DevOps and CI/CD
Build and run pipelines that deliver infrastructure changes the same way your developers ship applications.
Security and compliance
Configure platforms to meet security standards, harden servers and networks, and run vulnerability scanning and remediation.
Resilience and operations
Protect and observe your platform with reliable backup, tested disaster recovery and monitoring your team can act on.
Experience
14 years, from small business IT to enterprise platforms
Uniity is built on experience at every level of IT. Starting out supporting small businesses taught us to fix real problems for real people. Large corporate and high-security work added scale and discipline.

What this means for your project
Built for air-gapped networks
We design automation to run without internet access, with controlled routes for importing content and updates.
Evidence by default
Every change is traceable through version control and pipeline history, which makes assurance and audit far simpler.
Security from the start
Hardening, role-based access and least privilege form part of the design and never wait until the end.
No lasting dependency
We document as we build and work alongside your engineers, so your team owns the result when we leave.
Approach
A straightforward route from problem to handover
Assess
We review your estate, your constraints and how work gets done today, then agree what success looks like.
Design
We produce a practical target design that fits your security, operational and commercial requirements.
Automate
We deliver in small, tested increments, so you see working results early and can adjust course.
Hand over
We document, train and support your team until they can run and extend the platform with confidence.

FAQ
Common questions
Which versions of VMware Cloud Foundation do you work with?
We have hands-on experience of VCF 4, 5 and 9, backed by VCP certification as both administrator and architect.
Can your automation run in an air-gapped environment?
Yes. We plan for disconnected operation from the start, including how software and automation content are imported, approved and kept up to date.
Can you work in security-cleared environments?
Yes. Our lead consultant is security cleared and has extensive experience of working within secure environments. Clearance details are available on request.
Can you take over automation someone else wrote?
Yes. We often start by reviewing what exists, identifying what is safe to keep, and improving the rest in stages so that live services stay protected.
We run Aria Automation. What should we do about VMware's product changes?
Start by understanding what your current workflows and templates depend on. That gives you a clear basis for planning your move to VCF 9 or deciding on another route.
Do you only work with large organisations?
No. Our experience began with small businesses and now extends to large corporate programmes. We work with public and private sector organisations of different sizes.
How does an engagement start?
With a conversation about what you need. If we are a good fit, we will suggest a scope, a timescale and the most suitable way of working together.
