About

An independent consultancy focused on private cloud: the design decisions, the delivery work and operating it well.

About MRIT Consulting

MRIT Consulting is an independent private cloud practice specializing in VMware Cloud Foundation and Nutanix. We help organizations design, build, migrate, and modernize the platforms their business runs on, with senior-level architecture and hands-on delivery from a former VMware architect.

Who you'll work with

MRIT Consulting is led by Tolgahan Yilmaz, a Computer Engineering graduate and former VMware SDDC Architect with more than a decade in infrastructure engineering.

During five years at VMware, first in technical support and then in Professional Services, he designed and delivered VMware Cloud Foundation, NSX, vSAN, and Cloud Director environments for large telecom operators, banks, government agencies, and defense, energy, and aviation organizations across Turkey and the Middle East. That work included multi-datacenter NSX designs, zero-trust micro-segmentation, NFV platform upgrades, and several NSX-V to NSX-T migrations in production environments.

Since 2023 he has continued that work in the United States. At a U.S. defense contractor, he led improvements to the company's VMware platform, supported customer deployments, and helped teams run Rancher-based Kubernetes platforms. Since 2024 he has also delivered VMware engagements for Broadcom as an independent contractor through a Broadcom partner, and he currently serves as NSX Architect for a major U.S. energy company.

He holds both VMware Certified Implementation Expert credentials, in Data Center Virtualization (VCIX-DCV) and Network Virtualization (VCIX-NV), along with current Broadcom-era VCAP certifications in NSX design and deployment. His background also includes Cisco routing and switching, Linux, Kubernetes, and automation, going back to building a university network and security lab.

That range means designs are shaped by how the platform will actually be run, not just how it looks on paper.

Independent advice across platforms

The right platform depends on your workloads, budget, team, and long-term direction, not on a vendor's roadmap.

We don't resell licenses or accept vendor fees, so our only stake in your platform decision is that it works for you. We work across VMware Cloud Foundation and Nutanix to help you weigh those choices honestly. Whether you're modernizing what you have, moving to a different platform, or getting more value from your current investment, our recommendations start with your requirements.

Direct access to the engineer doing the work

There's no handoff between the person who sells the project and the person who delivers it. You work directly with the architect responsible for your design and implementation, from the first conversation through go-live.

We work alongside your engineers, plan changes around your operational constraints, and build validation and rollback planning into every significant step.

Built for your team to operate

A successful project leaves your team ready for what comes next. Every engagement includes documentation suited to its scope, such as as-built designs, configuration records, and operational runbooks, along with walkthroughs that explain not just how the platform works but why it was built that way.
