Synchresis Solutions Builds Open Virtualization Control Plane to Address IT Convergence
As infrastructure layers overlap, the boutique IT provider uses SynchresisVM to manage KVM and bhyve environments without per-socket licensing.
The convergence of telecommunications, virtualization, hosting, software engineering, and artificial intelligence is reshaping how smaller technology firms manage infrastructure. As reported by The Next Web (https://thenextweb.com/news/infrastructure-complexity-smaller-tech-firms-synchresis), boutique technology firm Synchresis Solutions illustrates this operational shift by combining multi-layered IT services with its own open virtualization control plane, SynchresisVM.
Synchresis Solutions was established as a commercial business in 2023, though its origins trace back to earlier collaborative work between co-founders Nick Giannak III and David Quinn Ebert. After connecting through volunteer internet-radio initiatives, the pair developed web products and an internal telephone system between 2018 and the COVID-19 pandemic before expanding into paid customer work. Doron Beit-Halahmi, known as Doc, subsequently joined the group through shared audio and internet-radio communities.
The company's SynchresisVM project addresses virtualization management across Linux and FreeBSD environments. Acting as a control plane for KVM and bhyve, the platform provides a unified interface and REST API to create, configure, start, and migrate virtual machines across nodes. SynchresisVM is architected around standard infrastructure components—including qcow2 disk images, VirtIO devices, and Linux bridges—keeping proprietary software out of the data path.
The software is designed to run directly on an organization's existing host infrastructure, avoiding per-socket licensing fees or proprietary appliance requirements. It supports centralized guest definitions, shared storage, automated placement across clusters, and includes a migration wizard to help import workloads from Proxmox, Hyper-V, or VMware environments.
Beyond virtualization, the firm maintains technical practices in enterprise telephony and communications, managing cloud PBX setups, enterprise SIP systems, cloud fax, and VoIP infrastructure. Co-founders Giannak and Ebert emphasize that communications, networking, and compute layers frequently intersect, requiring systems administrators to understand how underlying configurations affect upstream services. Modern artificial intelligence tools have also been integrated into the team's software engineering and automation workflows, building on earlier software and language experimentation rather than functioning as a standalone large language model developer.
As enterprise IT environments become increasingly interdependent, smaller infrastructure providers face demand for cross-disciplinary expertise. Through tools like SynchresisVM, Synchresis Solutions reflects an industry focus on workload portability, standard formats, and direct operational control over proprietary platform lock-in.
