Proxmox consulting and private cloud
Proxmox and private cloud infrastructure,
Proxmox and private cloud infrastructure,
designed, built and run for you.
Proxmox VE clusters, Ceph storage, VMware to Proxmox migration and Kubernetes on Proxmox. We audit, design and deploy your platform, then keep it running, on your servers or on our infrastructure in France.
7 clustersProxmox clusters in production, run by our team every day
500+virtual machines and LXC containers under our management
Since 2013building and operating Linux and virtualisation platforms
What we build
Open source infrastructure, production grade
No licence lock-in: every component is open source, documented and handed over to you.
Proxmox VE clusters
From three nodes upwards, with high availability, live migration, role-based access and a clean network design (VLANs, bonding, SDN).
Ceph storage
Replicated, self-healing storage sized for your workload, with the right balance of NVMe, capacity and failure domains.
Backup and recovery
Proxmox Backup Server with deduplication, encrypted off-site copies and a recovery plan that is actually tested.
VMware to Proxmox migration
Inventory, compatibility checks, a pilot, then VM-by-VM migration in planned windows to keep downtime to a minimum.
Kubernetes on Proxmox
Kubernetes clusters on Proxmox virtual machines, with persistent storage on Ceph, ingress, certificates and monitoring.
Multi-site and private cloud
Platforms spread over several availability zones, such as OVHcloud's three zones in the Paris region, for workloads that cannot stop.
Leaving VMware
Why companies move to Proxmox
Since Broadcom changed VMware's licensing to subscription bundles, many companies have seen their virtualisation costs rise sharply. Proxmox VE offers the features most of them actually use, on an open source base.
- KVM virtual machines and LXC containers on one platform
- High availability, live migration and clustering included
- Integrated Ceph storage and backup server
- Optional enterprise support subscription, per CPU socket
- A large community and regular releases
KVM
full virtualisation for Linux and Windows guests
LXC
lightweight containers for Linux services
Ceph
distributed storage built in
PBS
deduplicated, encrypted backups
How we work
Audit, build, run
Three steps, each priced before it starts. Prices exclude VAT.
Step 2
Build and migration
Fixed price
Quoted after the audit.
- Cluster, storage and network deployment
- VMware or cloud migration
- Backups and monitoring in place
- Documentation and handover
Step 3
Run
from€500/ month
Hosted high-availability platform.
- Hosted on our infrastructure in France, or on yours
- 1-hour on-call, day and night
- Quarterly restore tests
- Tiered pricing for larger clusters
Prefer to run the platform yourselves? We can stay on call for specific tasks: one-off interventions at €800 excl. VAT per day, or monitoring levels from +€50 per server and per month. Team training available on request.
FAQ
Proxmox and private cloud: your questions
Is Proxmox VE ready for production?
Yes. Proxmox VE is used in production by companies of all sizes. We run seven Proxmox clusters ourselves, with more than 500 virtual machines and containers, so the advice we give comes from daily operation.
How long does a VMware to Proxmox migration take?
It depends on the number of VMs, the storage and the downtime you can accept. A small environment can move in a few days; larger ones are migrated in waves over several weeks. The audit gives you a precise plan and a fixed price.
Can you work on servers outside France?
Yes. Design, migration and management are done remotely, on your own hardware or with any provider. If you want us to host the platform, it runs on our infrastructure in France.
Do we keep control of our infrastructure?
Yes. Everything is open source, documented and handed over. You keep full administrator access, and can manage the platform yourselves or with us.
Do you also offer Kubernetes?
Yes. We deploy and operate Kubernetes clusters on top of Proxmox, with Ceph-backed persistent storage. Pricing is tiered and quoted after a free audit.
