Virtualisation & Proxmox
Instead of running a separate physical server for every task, several servers run as virtual machines on shared hardware. This saves space and power, simplifies backups and makes replacing hardware much easier. We mainly use Proxmox VE for this.
Typical situations
When this is worth it for you.
Sound familiar? Then get in touch. We look at your situation and make a concrete proposal.
- Several older servers are to be consolidated on new hardware.
- You want to be able to back up a server without collecting files individually.
- You want to review licence costs for virtualisation software.
Our approach
What we actually do for you.
Planning
We define which services run as virtual machines or containers and how much performance and storage they need.
Setting up Proxmox VE
Installation, storage, networking and user management of the virtualisation environment.
Migration of existing servers
Existing physical or virtual servers are transferred to the new environment.
Backup of virtual machines
Complete backup of entire systems, for example with Proxmox Backup Server, and fast restores.
Multiple hosts
Where needed, a setup with several servers so that virtual machines can move to another host during maintenance or outages.
Your benefits
Advantages for your business.
Less hardware
Several servers share one machine, saving space, power and maintenance.
Fast recovery
Entire systems can be restored from backup or protected with a snapshot before changes.
Flexible expansion
Performance and storage can be adjusted without reinstalling a server.
Open solution
Proxmox VE is open source; support subscriptions from the vendor are optional.

FAQ
Good to know.
What is Proxmox VE?
Proxmox Virtual Environment is an open-source platform for running and managing virtual machines and containers on one or more servers.
Can Windows servers run on Proxmox?
Yes. Windows and Linux servers can both run as virtual machines. The appropriate Windows licences must be in place.
How is a virtualised environment backed up?
Entire virtual machines are backed up regularly, ideally to a separate system. In an emergency, a complete server can then be restored.
