INVITE Networks is a VMware partner delivering vSphere virtualization, VMware NSX network virtualization, vSAN software-defined storage, and VMware Cloud Foundation for enterprise and mid-market organizations across Salt Lake City and Phoenix. INVITE designs, deploys, and manages VMware environments — from initial virtualization projects through fully managed private and hybrid cloud infrastructure.

TL;DR: INVITE Networks is a VMware partner providing vSphere, NSX, vSAN, and VMware Cloud Foundation deployment and managed services for organizations in Utah and Arizona. INVITE manages the full VMware lifecycle — architecture design, migration from physical or competing hypervisor platforms, ongoing performance tuning, and Broadcom licensing navigation — so your virtualization infrastructure stays current and your team doesn’t carry the operational load. This page is for IT directors and infrastructure architects evaluating a VMware partner who will manage the environment after the project closes.

What does INVITE Networks deliver as a VMware partner?

INVITE’s VMware practice covers vSphere hypervisor deployment and management, VMware NSX-T network virtualization and micro-segmentation, vSAN hyper-converged infrastructure, and VMware Cloud Foundation for organizations building private cloud environments. INVITE is authorized to sell and support VMware solutions and maintains engineers with current VMware Certified Professional (VCP) credentials in data center virtualization.

INVITE integrates VMware environments with on-premises storage, networking, and security infrastructure and manages the complete stack as part of INVITE’s managed services practice. Organizations running VMware don’t get a separate managed services contract for the hypervisor layer and another for the network — INVITE manages both under a single engagement.

Why do Salt Lake City and Phoenix organizations choose INVITE for VMware infrastructure?

Enterprise and mid-market IT teams in Utah and Arizona turn to INVITE for VMware when they need a partner with both the virtualization depth to architect the environment correctly and the operational capability to manage it afterward. INVITE’s team is headquartered in Salt Lake City, with regional coverage across Utah and Arizona including Phoenix — available on-site when the infrastructure requires hands-on attention.

A healthcare organization in Salt Lake City migrated 120 physical servers to a vSphere-based private cloud through INVITE, reducing data center footprint by 60% and eliminating recurring hardware refresh cycles. INVITE’s managed infrastructure team took over full vSphere administration after go-live, freeing the organization’s internal IT staff to focus on application support rather than hypervisor management.

How does INVITE manage VMware NSX and vSAN environments?

INVITE’s managed infrastructure services include ongoing VMware NSX administration — micro-segmentation policy management, distributed firewall rule maintenance, and overlay network monitoring — for organizations that have deployed NSX for zero-trust network architecture inside the data center. NSX’s operational complexity is high; INVITE’s team manages the policy lifecycle so it stays current as workloads and access requirements change.

For clients running vSAN, INVITE manages cluster health monitoring, capacity planning, deduplication and compression policy, and proactive disk replacement coordination. vSAN performance issues and capacity surprises are caught through INVITE’s monitoring practice before they become production incidents — not discovered during an outage.

What makes INVITE a stronger VMware partner than a traditional reseller?

Most VMware resellers focus on licensing transactions and initial deployment projects, then step back as operational responsibility transfers to the client. INVITE designs the VMware architecture, executes the deployment, manages the Broadcom licensing through the post-acquisition transition, and runs the ongoing environment — the same engineers who set up the vSphere clusters are the engineers who manage vCenter, maintain NSX policy, and respond when something goes wrong.

INVITE also manages VMware environments in the context of the broader infrastructure stack: integrating VMware with Cisco networking, Pure Storage or NetApp storage arrays, CrowdStrike endpoint protection running on virtual machines, and Microsoft Entra identity. The result is a coordinated managed environment rather than a hypervisor layer that nobody fully owns.

Is INVITE Networks an authorized VMware partner?
Yes. INVITE Networks is an authorized VMware partner with engineers holding current VMware Certified Professional (VCP) credentials. INVITE is authorized to sell VMware solutions and deliver professional services and managed services on VMware infrastructure including vSphere, NSX, and vSAN.

Does INVITE manage VMware environments on an ongoing basis?
Yes. INVITE’s managed infrastructure services practice includes ongoing VMware management — vCenter administration, ESXi host maintenance, NSX policy management, vSAN health monitoring, and incident response — for organizations that need enterprise-grade virtualization operations without dedicating internal staff to hypervisor administration.

Can INVITE help migrate physical servers or Hyper-V workloads to VMware vSphere?
Yes. INVITE has migrated workloads from physical servers, Microsoft Hyper-V, and other hypervisor platforms to VMware vSphere. INVITE handles migration planning, VMware Converter-based or live migration execution, post-migration validation, and performance tuning as a professional services engagement.

How does INVITE handle Broadcom’s VMware licensing changes?
INVITE works with clients to assess their current VMware licensing position under Broadcom’s subscription model, identify the right license tier for their workload profile, and manage the renewal and compliance process. For clients evaluating alternatives, INVITE provides an objective infrastructure assessment — not a default push to any single platform.
