About Us

Empowering Organizations Through VMware Excellence

Since 2008, 27 Virtual has been at the forefront of enterprise data center solutions, delivering world-class VMware services, expert education, and transformative consulting to organizations across North America and beyond.

Our Story

Founded in 2008 as an education company, 27 Virtual was built on a simple but powerful premise: that the best consultants are also exceptional teachers, and the best teachers bring real-world experience into every engagement. This unique foundation has shaped who we are today—a trusted VMware partner that doesn’t just implement solutions, but empowers organizations with the knowledge and confidence to own their infrastructure.

What sets 27 Virtual apart is our commitment to knowledge transfer. We don’t just deploy technology—we empower your organization with understanding, confidence, and true ownership of your solutions.

Our team of highly educated, certified professionals brings extensive experience from leading high-profile customer engagements, delivering workshops and certification training, speaking at industry conferences, and actively engaging with the VMware community. We combine exceptional technical expertise with outstanding people skills, earning us recognition as VMware’s Application Network & Security Partner of the Year.

Today, 27 Virtual serves clients and maintains operations throughout North America and Europe, with strong alliances extending to Asia. We specialize in VMware Cloud Foundations, data center virtualization, network and security, hyperconverged infrastructure, and private AI solutions—all delivered with the same commitment to excellence that defined us from day one.

Every milestone was completed to a very high standard. Not only the technical stuff that was all excellent, but the organization and project management were top notch. Very efficient, and no wasted time. One of the top, if not the top, long term technical engagement that I have ever been involved with.
