Business hours or 24/7 customer support

We offer two support and on-call options depending on the criticality of your services: business hours or 24/7. In both cases, you are directly connected with the senior engineers in charge of your platform, without having to go through an escalation matrix.

Why adopt our Proxmox Cloud?

Replace VMware with a cost-optimized managed Proxmox cloud

VMware solutions have established a solid track record in the industry. We manage VMware-based platforms for numerous clients. However, they command a fairly high licencing cost, and they do not rely on open technologies.

We can fully handle the migration of your VMware-based platform to our Proxmox Private Cloud solution. You will benefit from the same private cloud features at a more competitive rate, and from our premium management service.

The alternative to public cloud, to control your IT costs, in a dedicated environment

The elasticity of the public cloud often leads to additional costs and does not allow you to easily control your infrastructure expenses. With our Proxmox Cloud solution, you benefit from a powerful and secure cloud solution at optimized and fixed costs.

In your dedicated environment, we also provide you with expert and dedicated support. Our senior engineers are familiar with the specifics of your business, they advise you and ensure the complete management of your platform.

FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Proxmox private cloud?

+ −

A Proxmox private cloud is a dedicated cloud infrastructure, built on the open source Proxmox VE (virtualization) and Proxmox Backup Server (backup) software. It’s deployed on resources that are exclusively yours: on your own premises, on our Enix infrastructure in France, or with a third-party provider. Unlike shared public cloud, you never share your resources with any other client.

Is Proxmox a good alternative to VMware?

+ −

Yes. Proxmox VE covers the same key features as VMware - virtualization, high availability, backup, snapshots, live migration - without the licensing costs, which have risen sharply since VMware’s acquisition by Broadcom. Built on KVM and developed as open source for over 15 years, it enables a gradual migration with no service interruption, and full reversibility.

Is Proxmox reliable and suitable for critical infrastructure?

+ −

Yes. Proxmox VE relies on proven technologies (KVM, Ceph, ZFS) and natively supports clustering, high availability, and data replication. We’ve operated Proxmox platforms in critical production for over 10 years, with DRP-BCP options available to guarantee continuity for your most sensitive services.

How much does a VMware-to-Proxmox migration cost?

+ −

The cost and duration of a migration depend on the complexity of your infrastructure (storage, network, high availability), the number of applications and VMs, and the level of support you need. The absence of Proxmox licensing fees generally offsets the cost of migration within the first year compared to post-Broadcom VMware pricing. Our short guide to migrating to Proxmox can give you more pointers. Contact us for an audit and a personalized quote.

Why choose a managed Proxmox cloud?

+ −

Because managed services turn powerful software into a turnkey solution: our senior engineers handle the design, setup, security, and monitoring of your platform, with direct support (business hours or 24/7) and no escalation matrix. You get our Proxmox expertise without having to hire it in-house, for controlled, fixed costs.

Is Enix an official Proxmox partner?

+ −

Yes, Enix is a Proxmox Silver Partner, an official partnership status earned through our recognized expertise on Proxmox technologies (VE, PBS, PDM) and the numerous VMware-to-Proxmox migrations we’ve carried out. This status lets us provide you directly with the vendor’s Enterprise support subscriptions, alongside our own 24/7 managed services.
