Lifecycle and patch management
Our work goes beyond deployment. We plan security updates and major upgrades with their kernel, Ceph, backup and hardware dependencies. Testing, maintenance sequencing and post-update checks are included.

Your enterprise partner
for Proxmox.
Your next platform should fit your existing IT. We plan it, deliver the migration and, if required, take on operations.
We account for existing systems, vendor dependencies and internal requirements. Our team combines architecture work with migration and support for complex enterprise environments.
Official partner status: Proxmox Silver Partner.
Vendor subscriptions and support matched to your environment.

OUR ENTERPRISE EXPERIENCE
Experience across the whole environment.
We work with Proxmox in established enterprise infrastructures, including ongoing version upgrades, SAN integration, complex networks and distributed sites.
SAN and storage integration
We integrate Proxmox with existing SAN environments and assess alternatives such as Ceph. We check connectivity, multipathing, capacity and behaviour during path or storage failures.
Networking with EVPN and BGP
We also design and implement routed fabrics using EVPN and BGP. Tenant separation, routing, redundancy and integration with existing networks are part of the platform.
Multiple sites, clear architecture
We have experience with complex Proxmox deployments across multiple sites. We define cluster boundaries, data flows and failure domains, accounting for bandwidth, latency and local operational requirements.
Backup and recovery
We plan backup and recovery around applications and their dependencies. This includes separate backup copies, restore tests and agreed recovery procedures.
Monitoring and automation
Across clusters and sites, we establish consistent configurations and traceable changes. Monitoring, alert routes and repeatable procedures make the environment manageable.
ACROSS MULTIPLE SITESOne operating strategy.
One operating strategy.
The right architecture for each site.
Multiple sites need common standards. Whether systems run together or in separate clusters depends on applications, connectivity and required availability.

platform deliver?
A change also affects business applications, backup procedures and internal requirements. We clarify these dependencies with your IT team, application owners and information security.
Prepare your VMware migration
Applications and vendor support
What can be retained? What needs testing, adaptation or clarification with the software vendor?
Security and evidence
What requirements apply to access, logging, recovery and documentation? We use these to define technical measures and acceptance criteria.
Effort, costs and open questions
You receive a target architecture and a migration assessment. Hardware, subscriptions, implementation and future operations all belong in the calculation.
For public-sector clients and regulated environments, we involve the relevant specialists early. Required evidence is defined for the specific project.
PROJECT EXPERIENCEProxmox projects
Proxmox projects
we have supported.
We have supported infrastructure projects with well over 1,000 virtual machines. These Proxmox cases show our work at a university’s central data centre and on an existing platform supporting flight operations.
500virtual machines
CENTRAL UNIVERSITY DATA CENTRE
Shared operations. Separate faculty environments.
Around 500 virtual machines on ten nodes across two fire compartments. We consolidated requirements, designed the architecture and implemented the platform with the data centre team.
Separate network segments, storage pools and permissions. Two-stage backup. Documented failure tests.

PLATFORM UPGRADE DURING FLIGHT OPERATIONS
Proxmox and Ceph upgraded in service.
76 virtual machines, several major versions and no maintenance window. We upgraded the existing environment step by step while flight operations continued.

THE FIRST STEP
What should your next platform deliver?
We discuss your applications, existing infrastructure and reasons for change. This identifies the decisions and checks needed before implementation.
