We design, build and operate your infrastructure and bring AI in pragmatically — Proxmox virtualization, Ceph storage and automation for SMEs. Modern, open and without cloud lock-in.
Old servers, rising licensing costs, cloud dependency and the fear of ransomware. We solve these problems with modern, open infrastructure.
VMware and other proprietary platforms get more expensive every year. We migrate to Proxmox VE — professional open-source virtualization, no per-CPU or per-socket licenses.
Without high availability, a hardware failure means total downtime. We build clusters that keep your services running even when a server fails.
Public cloud means your data lives somewhere else. With on-premises storage and immutable backup, your data is yours and protected against ransomware.
We analyze single points of failure, bottlenecks, security risks and hidden costs. You get a clear report with priorities. Result: you know exactly what to improve.
We design and implement Proxmox VE environments — clusters, networking, high availability and migration from VMware or Hyper-V with minimal downtime. Result: robust virtualization without licensing costs.
