Ntirety

A managed cloud provider whose differentiation is the layers above the hypervisor: database administration, security operations, and compliance management. Built for organizations whose VMware problem is tangled up with HIPAA, PCI, or a DBA shortage.

Overview

Ntirety was formed from the combination of Hostway and HOSTING, two long-running managed hosting firms, and has positioned itself around "comprehensive compliant managed services." Its infrastructure offerings include VMware-based private and multi-tenant cloud, but the company's real identity is in what it manages on top: databases (SQL Server, Oracle, MySQL, PostgreSQL), security operations with a 24×7 SOC, and compliance frameworks for regulated industries.

For a VMware customer, the baseline path is familiar, lift vSphere workloads into Ntirety's cloud and let the provider absorb the licensing relationship. The difference is what else comes with the move: managed OS, managed databases, guaranteed-outcome security services, and audit support for HIPAA, PCI, and SOC regimes.

That makes Ntirety most compelling when the Broadcom renewal is only one of several fires. Organizations that are simultaneously short on DBAs, facing a security-staffing gap, and carrying compliance obligations can consolidate all of it into one managed relationship rather than hiring or stitching together point vendors.

The corollary: if you only want infrastructure, Ntirety's value is harder to capture, you would be paying for a services organization you do not intend to use. Pure-capacity buyers usually find a leaner fit at Performive or Expedient.

Why consider Ntirety for a VMware exit

Broadcom pricing is rarely the only pressure on a regulated mid-market IT team. Ntirety lets you convert a forced infrastructure decision into a broader operational fix: VMware workloads move, and database, security, and compliance operations move with them.

Its guaranteed-outcome security services and audit familiarity also shorten the diligence cycle for HIPAA/PCI workloads, where a generic cloud provider would leave your team holding the compliance documentation burden.

Honest pros and cons

Strengths

  • Deep managed-database practice, rare among VMware-cloud providers
  • 24×7 SOC and security services included in the relationship, not bolted on
  • Strong compliance support for HIPAA, PCI, SOC audits
  • VMware-based platform preserves the lift-and-shift path
  • One vendor can absorb infrastructure, DBA, and security operations gaps

Weaknesses

  • Premium for the services layer, poor value if you only want raw infrastructure
  • Smaller infrastructure footprint than national colo/cloud platforms
  • Multiple heritage brands and platforms; confirm which platform your workloads land on
  • Not the fit for self-sufficient teams who want minimal provider involvement

Who Ntirety fits

Best fit if you are…

  • You run regulated workloads (healthcare, finance, payments) and compliance evidence matters
  • You are short on DBAs or security staff and would rather buy the outcome
  • You want your VMware exit to also reduce operational burden, not just licensing cost
  • You are mid-market with a lean IT organization

Probably not a fit if you are…

  • You just need cost-efficient vSphere capacity with self-managed everything
  • You have strong internal DBA and security teams already
  • You are price-shopping pure infrastructure

Our verdict

The operations-and-compliance play. If your VMware renewal coincides with database, security, or audit pain, Ntirety consolidates all four problems. Pure-infrastructure buyers should look at Performive or Expedient first.
