We are an authorized Proxmox partner and support you from A to Z with planning, migration, and ongoing operations:<\/p>

Planning:<\/strong> We advise you on the architecture and scaling of your new Proxmox solution and provide you with the appropriate system components for long-term performance and stable operation. We consider both your current resource requirements and your growth in the coming years. <\/p>

Implementation:<\/strong> We are happy to handle the installation and commissioning of the servers at your site or, if desired, as housing in our data center. You receive the system turnkey installed and tested, so nothing can go wrong during operation. <\/p>

Proxmox Migration:<\/strong> Regardless of which platform you are coming from, we help you with the efficient and seamless migration of your systems. Our experience with a wide variety of guest operating systems, versions, and server applications helps us quickly and purposefully find the right path with you. The migration of VMware environments in particular is a frequently practiced and well-plannable process. <\/p>

Proxmox Go-Live Readiness Check:<\/b> Your Proxmox cluster is already set up but not yet in productive use? With our Go-Live Readiness Check, we ensure that your environment is stable and ready for deployment \u2013 even for operating critical systems. Our experienced experts review your installation using a proven checklist that we have developed based on numerous customer projects. For each point, you receive a well-founded assessment as well as concrete recommendations for optimization. This creates the foundation for a secure, high-performance, and smooth start to productive operations.<\/span><\/p>

Operations:<\/strong> If desired, we are happy to take over the ongoing operation of your platform via remote maintenance, with integration into our monitoring, continuous operational and backup control, deployment of security patches and system upgrades, up to and including the operation of the platform’s VMs. We can jointly define in detail how far our services should extend in this area. <\/p>

m.a.x. it Proxmox Add-On:<\/strong> Ongoing operations are supported by our in-house development as an additional product to Proxmox’s integrated management interface. This allows you to maintain an overview at all times and effortlessly orchestrate VM operations even in larger installations. <\/p>

Your VMs in maxCloud:<\/strong> Alternatively, we are happy to offer you the operation of your virtual servers on our Proxmox-based maxCloud in our Munich data centers. You then do not need to worry about either the hardware or the management of the platform. If desired, we also take over the ongoing operation of your virtual servers. Talk to us about the possibilities \u2013 we are happy to create an individual offer for you. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

What advantages does Proxmox have over VMware?<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

In many areas, Proxmox offers similar performance to VMware, especially when it comes to small and medium-sized platforms. Here, Proxmox even has a functional advantage with its integrated backup solution. For very large installations with many involved hosts and networks, VMware can demonstrate its strengths. On balance, however, Proxmox scores with free availability, excellent support at very fair prices,<\/span> and a complete feature set that optimally equips many medium-sized companies. <\/p>\n

Furthermore, with Proxmox as an open-source solution from Europe,<\/span> there is no dependency on the market interests of US<\/span> manufacturers, who in the worst case may also act against the interests of their own<\/span> customers.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Do I need specially certified hardware for Proxmox?<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

No, you can use standard X86 hardware to run Proxmox. Proxmox is based on Debian Linux. Debian is a widely used Linux distribution known for its stability, security, and reliability and can be operated on a very broad base of hardware. This makes you independent of unnecessary limitations and sometimes overpriced component prices in terms of support. The use of high-performance servers and high-quality enterprise hardware should also be a matter of course for Proxmox to ensure stable operation and high availability. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
