Private Cloud

Private Cloud (Proxmox)

Dedicated virtualization and storage in our data centers, geo-redundant and audit-ready

We operate dedicated private clouds based on Proxmox VE for enterprises with high requirements for availability (24/7 operations), security, and audit compliance. Our service scope includes data center operations, virtualization platform, storage network, backups, network/firewall, BCM as well as monitoring and patch management.

Our cloud setups are designed for multi-site operations, including geo-redundant concepts (storage mirroring, backup replication) and integration of public cloud services and hybrid setups.

Optionally, we support you in regulated contexts with security and compliance building blocks (e.g., audit rights, technical standards, certification support), as well as clear separation of duties and documented operational processes.
