Proxmox® VE: design, implementation and operations.

Whether it is a first cluster or several sites, we design, build and run Proxmox VE with you, covering everything from storage and networking to tested restores and the right subscription.

Typical projects

  • Moving from VMware or Nutanix

    We compare the costs, try the move on your own hardware and move in groups, each with a way back. About VMware exit

  • Upgrading from version 8 to 9

    Proxmox VE 8 reached end of life in August 2026. We upgrade one major version at a time, test your backup before every step and rehearse in a test environment.

  • Reviewing an existing environment

    We go through quorum, HA, storage, networks, backup and versions, and restore a VM to prove the backup works.

  • A new cluster or another site

    Cluster, networking, storage and backup jobs are described in your repository, and the environment is built from there. Every change can be reviewed, and the environment can be rebuilt.

  • Choosing a subscription

    Which tier fits your operations and your clusters, and what it covers. The tiers compared

Storage, quorum and networks

How the cluster stores data, keeps quorum, separates its networks and backs up decides how it handles a node failure and how it recovers. We make those choices from your workloads and availability requirements.

Cluster storage

Disks in every node. ZFS replicates asynchronously between nodes, and a VM can start on another node with the data from the last replication.

Distributed storage across the cluster, with copies on several nodes. Needs servers and disks sized for it, and a dedicated storage network.

Connected over NFS, iSCSI or FC after we test compatibility and I/O. We adapt the Proxmox VE storage configuration to the system.

Three Proxmox VE nodes on separate networks, with storage: local ZFS on each node, and Proxmox Backup Server in its own failure domain.
  1. WorkloadsVMs and LXC containers, with resources and priority set by requirements.
  2. Quorum and HAAt least three nodes, or two plus a QDevice. HA restarts VMs on another node.
  3. ZFS on each nodeAsynchronous replication between nodes, as often as every minute.
  4. Separate networksCluster network under 5 ms latency, storage, VM traffic and management.
  5. Proxmox Backup ServerIn its own failure domain, with verification and a copy at another site.

  2. Quorum and HAAt least three nodes, or two plus a QDevice. HA restarts VMs on another node.

Management and backup

Proxmox's own tools manage and back up one cluster or many sites. The backup you already have can stay.

  1. Status, resources and updates for Proxmox VE and Backup Server across clusters and sites. We connect the environments and configure access. Documentation
  2. Incremental, deduplicated and verified backups, with retention, encryption and a tested restore. Documentation
  3. The Backup Servers at two sites sync with each other.
Proxmox Datacenter Manager above two sites, each with a cluster and a Proxmox Backup Server that syncs to the other site.

What our work costs

Fixed prices for the work we're asked for most. Need something else, like a new cluster or a Backup Server rollout? We'll quote it. Proxmox prices its subscriptions itself, and they're further down.

Not sure leaving VMware pays off

VMware cost analysis

SEK 19,500Answer in two business days

We compare five years of VMware at your quote with Proxmox VE and at least one option we don't sell, hardware replacement included. You get two pages that say yes, no or it depends, and why.

What we need from you An RVTools export, which you run yourselves, your latest VMware quote and how old your servers are.

Ask us about this

Already running Proxmox

Proxmox architecture review

SEK 45,000Five business days

On one cluster of up to six nodes, we review quorum, HA, storage, networks, backup and versions, and test a VM restore. You get the fixes, most urgent first. Each extra cluster costs SEK 8,000.

What we need from you Read access to the cluster and the backup server.

Ask us about this

Want to try it on your own hardware

Proxmox pilot

SEK 49,500One week

We install Proxmox VE on your spare servers, move copies of three VMs you pick, set up Backup Server and restore from it. Before we leave, your engineers move a VM and restore one themselves.

What we need from you One to three spare servers, and three VMs you'd like moved.

Got a renewal quote from Broadcom

VMware exit pre-study

SEK 135,000Three weeks, up to 300 VMs on two sites

We select platforms per workload, test storage and network against Proxmox, and compare five-year costs with your quote. You get a move plan with rollback at every step, a test run of your two most worrying systems and a fixed move price.

What we need from you Read access to vCenter, your latest VMware quote, and time from the owners of those two systems.

Ask us about this

Ready to move

Proxmox migration

Fixed per move groupUsually 4 to 12 weeks of moves

We move the least critical systems first and rehearse each move with a tested way back. A group is done when its owners have checked their workflows end to end and a restore works. We're done when VMware is switched off.

What we need from you A move plan, from our pre-study or your own.

Running Proxmox in production

Proxmox operations

SEK 4,500 per nodePer month. Weekdays 8 to 5, three nodes minimum. Plus SEK 5,000 monthly and SEK 40,000 to start.

We monitor, patch monthly, test upgrades first and restore a VM each month, sending you the result. On a critical fault we start within an hour. After hours, your on-call team works from our runbooks and, with Premium, reaches Proxmox around the clock.

What we need from you A Proxmox subscription, Standard or higher, bought through us.

Ask us about this

Prices in Swedish kronor, excluding VAT.

Decided to leave VMware

The whole move

SEK 225,000Separately SEK 289,000Usually 10 to 18 weeks, first analysis to VMware switched off

You get the cost analysis, pilot, pre-study and operations setup, plus a review six months after the last move by engineers who didn't build it. It costs less because the pre-study reuses the analysis and pilot. Moves are priced per group.
