Cumulus cloud hosting
Our own cloud platform for public and hybrid workloads, with the dedicated support and intrinsic security that a rented tenancy elsewhere does not give you.
About CumulusOrlando, Florida / since 2016
Public cloud. Personal touch.
Gibson IT designs, assesses and deploys the VMware infrastructure your business actually runs on, then backs it up into a cloud we operate ourselves. Evaluations and quotations are free.
The practice
A small practice doing large infrastructure
Gibson IT has been architecting and running virtualized infrastructure out of Orlando since 2016, for organizations from small enterprises up to large corporations. We partner with you to design, assess, and implement cost-effective IT-architected solutions.

The stack, sized before it is bought
Moving to VCF 9 is a hardware question before it is a software one. We assess what you are running now, work out what the platform genuinely requires for your workloads, and deploy it with your IT team rather than handing them a finished box they did not design.
What we do
Seven things, done properly
The whole catalogue, each with its own page rather than a paragraph buried in a list.
02 / Continuity
Backup and disaster recovery
A backup plan built around your actual systems, with on premises workloads replicated into Cumulus Cloud so there is somewhere real to fail over to.
Recovery planning03 / Design
IT architecture
Our solution architects work through your requirements and your pain points first, then design something proportionate to them. Infrastructure is a large investment to get wrong.
Architecture work04 / Addressing
IPv6 adoption
Dual stack alongside IPv4, or IPv6 only. Which one suits you depends on what your edge and your applications can carry, so that is where we start.
IPv6 options05 / Compliance
Licensing and compliance
Our licensing specialists manage and procure your software licenses, so compliance holds and the billing cycle stops being a surprise every year.
Licensing help06 / Connectivity
Internet and WAN connectivity
Edge and inter-site networking designed by people who will also be running the workloads on the other end of it.
WAN design24/7/365
Infrastructure does not fail inside business hours. Support runs every hour of every day of the year, and the person who architected your environment is the person who answers.
In their words
The same name keeps coming up
Gibson IT is Jarrod Gibson, and the people who have worked with him say so directly.
To my surprise, hiring Jarrod Gibson was the best move I could have made. Not only is he exceptionally knowledgeable about his business, he is a very honest guy with great customer service skills. On top of that, no matter what problems arise he is the one-stop shop to handle the situation. And to my surprise, he is extremely affordable.
I've worked with Jarrod for quite some time now and he has become one of the first people I reach out to as a virtualization expert. He is extremely knowledgeable in many areas, not just virtualization. Various hosting teams leverage him. He is also an extremely knowledgeable technology architect who is willing to go the distance to get the job done!
I have worked directly with Jarrod, and he's a fantastic person to work with! I have seen him architect and build infrastructure from the ground up, and he is great at formulating solid step-by-step plans to execute a project. My troubleshooting skills have grown immensely by having him teach me some of his problem-solving methods. I have witnessed him resolve complex problems with VMWare vSphere and NSX, various Windows problems with Active Directory, and general TCP/IP networking problems to name a few.
