Short answer
Yes. FirstNet Private Cloud runs on either VMware vSphere or Microsoft Hyper-V, and you choose. Most organisations pick the hypervisor that matches their team's existing skills and the environment they are migrating from, which keeps the migration simpler.
In detail
What to weigh up:
- Existing estate: aligning with your current hypervisor reduces conversion work during migration
- Team skills: your administrators keep working with platforms they know
- Disaster recovery: FirstNet DRaaS replicates both VMware vSphere and Hyper-V virtual machines
- Backup: Veeam protects workloads on either hypervisor
Whichever you choose, the platform underneath is the same: Dell PowerEdge clusters, Infinidat tiered storage, high availability and live migration, managed through the Hybr portal. The recommended baseline of a virtual firewall and immutable Veeam backups applies to both.
Your preference is captured in the discovery and sizing workshop. It affects provisioning timelines, together with your connectivity scope (internet only, VPN or dedicated links, or hybrid cloud peering) and any firewall or segmentation complexity. Complex migrations with many dependencies or tight downtime windows get a dedicated technical workshop before timelines are committed.
