My name is Wesley Geelhoed, living in Dirksland (NL). To me, enjoyment is the driving force for success.

I am a very driven Freelance IT Architect with my own company Altocumulus Cloud Services. I mainly specialized myself within the VMware multi-cloud industry for the last 8-10 years. With a focus on Networking, Security, Connectivity, and Hybrid Cloud. Before I started my freelance career I worked at VMware as a Staff Consulting Architect within the NEMEA region.

Building virtual infrastructures and contributing to IT solutions is what I love doing most. I developed myself well on different technical areas such as private cloud, public cloud and cloud migrations focused on security and connectivity. Throughout the years I gained a lot of experience with implementations, migrations and creating rock solid IT Architectures. I am VMware vExpert for six (6) years in a row and a VMware Certified Design Expert on Network Virtualization (VCDX-NV) (number 290). VCDXes are part of an elite group holding the highest level of VMware certification. A VCDX has validated its enterprise-class skills as an Architect in VMware solution design in front of a panel of veteran VCDX panel.

I also have a proven track record outside the VMware industry, with certifications as Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA) and Microsoft Certified Solutions Expert (MCSE) I can guide and help customers throughout the complete infrastructure stack.

My working method can be characterized as thorough, passionate, and explorative. Finding the most appropriate solution is my drive. I am able to work successfully individually and in teams. My added value within a team are my communication skills. A challenge gives me energy!

Lead Architect on Migration Project

Gloucestershire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust ( UK ) -

This was a VCF3 to VCF4 migration/transition project. I made high-level plans and estimations in terms of effort, hours, and different roles required within the project.

This project was funded internally and had therefore no margin and contingency, therefore we needed to plan very strictly and far ahead and needed to stay on top of the customer in terms of planning.

This resulted in a very successful project where we migrated a VCF3 to a VCF4 platform within 5 months. Those 5 months are including the following phases: design, deployment, verification, migration planning, migration, project closure.

Project Overview:

Workload Migration (HCX)

Network Migration (HCX + NSX-T)

Firewall Migration (NSX-v and NSX-T)

Operations & Monitoring Migration (Aria Suite)
