Proxmox: virtualisation without the licensing trap
Proxmox Virtual Environment runs servers, databases and terminal servers on your own hardware, with high availability and built-in backup. As an official Proxmox partner, we plan, migrate and look after your environment.
What is Proxmox VE?
Proxmox VE is an open-source virtualisation platform from Vienna. It combines virtual machines (KVM) and containers (LXC) in one web interface. Several servers can form a cluster. If one server fails, the virtual machines restart automatically on another.
At a glance
- Open source, no licence fees per core or VM
- Cluster with high availability and live migration
- Ceph or ZFS storage built in
- Web interface, no extra management software
- European vendor, subscriptions per CPU socket

Why SMEs switch to Proxmox
Predictable costs
Since Broadcom acquired VMware, licence costs have risen sharply for many SMEs. Proxmox only costs the optional support subscription per CPU socket.
High availability without extra licences
Clustering, live migration and automatic restart after hardware failure are part of the base product.
Backup included
With Proxmox Backup Server, all VMs are backed up incrementally and restores are verified automatically.
No lock-in
Open standards and open source. Your virtual machines can be exported at any time.

Frequently asked questions
Your question is not listed? Ask us directly.
Is Proxmox suitable for production?
Yes. Proxmox VE is used by companies worldwide, and we run Ceph clusters with it for our clients. For production we recommend a subscription with access to the Enterprise repository.
What does Proxmox cost?
The software is free. Support subscriptions are charged per CPU socket and year, with or without vendor support depending on the level. We prepare a cost comparison with your current solution.
Can we move our VMware servers?
Yes. Proxmox includes an import tool for VMware machines. We test every VM after the migration and only switch over once everything runs.
Does Windows Server run on Proxmox?
Yes. Windows Server, Windows 11 and Linux run as virtual machines. Windows licensing stays the same as on other hypervisors.
