Proxmox Virtual Environment

What is Proxmox VE?

Proxmox VE is a comprehensive open-source solution for enterprise virtualization that supports both the KVM hypervisor and LXC containers. Combined on a single platform, Proxmox VE offers integrated software-defined storage and networking capabilities and is considered a complete alternative to VMware. 

Solutions

The strength of Proxmox VE lies in its centralized web GUI, which is known for its user-friendliness and can compete with VMware solutions. Keyword: Proxmox vs. VMware. Through it, administrators can easily run VMs (virtual machines) and containers, set up software-defined storage resources and virtual networks, and configure high-availability clusters. 

Examples of Proxmox's flexibility:

Features

Proxmox VE offers a wide range of out-of-the-box tools, such as backup and restore, live migration, storage replication, and a built-in firewall, all of which can be configured quickly and easily. These comprehensive features make Proxmox VE a powerful and accessible solution for enterprise virtualization.

  • Virtualization and storage solution in a single system
  • Fully software-defined architecture, such as software-defined networking
  • Supports two virtualization methods: KVM hypervisor and Linux containers (LXC)
  • High-Availability (HA) Cluster Manager, i.e., a high-availability (HA) cluster
  • HCI solution (Hyper-Converged Infrastructure)
  • Proxmox Ceph Storage or ZFS Storage
  • vGPUs (Virtual GPUs) to distribute the performance of a physical GPU across multiple virtual machines (VMs) or containers

FAQ - Server

Here you will find the most important questions about servers.

Why are our servers of such high quality?

Our servers generally perform core tasks that need to be permanently available: From e-mail services and websites to scientific simulations. As soon as failures occur here, this can affect the entire operation. We therefore place the highest value on reliability and performance so that you can work securely and efficiently at all times.

How do we configure servers according to individual requirements?

We offer you tailor-made solutions - regardless of whether you need a high-performance GPU server for demanding calculations or prefer an energy-efficient platform for economical continuous operation. We build our servers with industrial components, for example from Supermicro or ASUS, and integrate exactly the features that are relevant to your requirements.

What advantages do our “Made in Germany” strategy and our own Zealbox brand offer?

Zealbox is our own registered trademark - a seal of quality, so to speak. After all, we assemble all Zealbox servers directly on site in Kirchheim. This enables us to carry out strict quality controls, rapid adaptation to customer requirements and comprehensive product testing. You therefore receive reliably functioning systems - without long delivery times and guaranteed “Made in Germany”.

Can I also obtain special servers such as GPU servers or ARM-based solutions from you?

Naturally. We have GPU servers that can call on enormous teraflop performance and also offer ARM-based models for space and power-saving solutions. Hyper-converged, software-defined or industrial IoT solutions are also available from us. We thus cover a broad spectrum of business tasks.

How do we support you with installation, service and maintenance?

Our service does not end with the purchase. On request, we can accompany you through the entire life cycle of your server: from the initial consultation to installation and commissioning through to maintenance during operation. We can even provide a 24x7x4 service to get your IT back on track quickly in the event of an emergency.
