Telecom Provider - From Manual to Automated
A telecom provider delivered reliable communication services to businesses, but their manually managed KVM environment reached its limits. VM migrations were cumbersome, maintenance required downtime, and there was no central management interface.
Uitdaging
- Manually managed KVM environment
- VM migrations were complex and time-consuming
- Maintenance always required downtime
- No central management interface
- Limited scalability and flexibility
Oplossing
- Migration to Proxmox VE for web-based management
- High Availability cluster configuration
- Integrated backup and snapshot functionality
- Dell servers with proven reliability
- Proxmox Backup Server for disaster recovery
Resultaat
- 90% faster VM migrations between datacenters
- Maintenance without service interruptions
- Full transparency and control over infrastructure
- No vendor lock-in or unpredictable license costs
- Fast restore of VMs and individual files
"With Proxmox VE, we can scale freely, at our own pace, and without unpredictable license costs. It gives us independence and flexibility."
— CTO, Telecom ProviderHosting Provider - From Hyper-V to Open Source
A hosting company with its own datacenters wanted to migrate their VPS services from Microsoft Hyper-V to a more cost-efficient and flexible platform. The wish was a future-proof solution with a transparent pricing model.
Uitdaging
- High license costs of Hyper-V and Windows Server
- Limited flexibility in current platform
- Need for enterprise features such as HA and Ceph
- Customers asked for more control over their environment
- Complex migration of hundreds of VPS instances
Oplossing
- Complete migration from Hyper-V to Proxmox VE
- Self-service portal for customers with dedicated servers
- Ceph storage for scalable and reliable storage
- Software-defined networking (SDN) for flexible networks
- High Availability for business-critical workloads
Resultaat
- 60% reduction in license costs
- Transparent and predictable cost structure
- Customers can easily manage their own Proxmox VE
- Fast deployment: new VPS in minutes
- Enterprise features available for all customers
"With Proxmox VE, there are no more license costs. That alone enabled us to redefine our business model. The combination of robust technology and transparent pricing made the choice easy."
— R&D Director, Hosting ProviderIT Service Provider - From VMware to Proxmox VE
An IT service provider, specialized in private cloud and bare metal solutions, saw their VMware license costs explode after the Broadcom acquisition. The renewal invoice rose to more than half a million euro per year, making the business model unsustainable.
Uitdaging
- VMware license costs rose to €500,000+ per year
- Uncertainty about future of VMware platform
- More than 300 VMs had to be migrated
- Enterprise-grade reliability had to be maintained
- No downtime during migration allowed
Oplossing
- Migration of 300+ VMs to Proxmox VE
- 19-node High Availability cluster with Ceph storage
- 90 TB redundant Ceph storage
- 225 TB flash storage for performance workloads
- QEMU guest agents for optimal VM performance
Resultaat
- 94% cost savings: from €500,000 to €15,000 per year
- Performance equivalent to VMware
- Improved operational resilience
- Intuitive interface for VM, container and backup management
- Future-proof infrastructure without vendor lock-in
"Our Proxmox migration shows what is possible for companies stuck in VMware uncertainty. You can switch to an open-source platform, dramatically save on costs, and still maintain the enterprise-grade resilience that customers expect."
— CTO, IT Service ProviderSoftware Company - Local AI Infrastructure
A software company, specialized in digitization and document management, wanted to add AI functionality to their products. The challenge was to run Large Language Models (LLMs) safely in a private cloud, without customer data leaving external systems.
Uitdaging
- Run AI models on own infrastructure (data stays internal)
- Replication between two datacenters for high availability
- Direct assignment of NVIDIA H100 GPUs to VMs
- Flexible environment for different LLMs
- Failover capabilities in case of hardware defects
Oplossing
- Proxmox VE cluster with PCIe GPU passthrough
- Two identical Supermicro servers with AMD EPYC processors
- 1.5 TB DDR5 RAM per server
- 10GbE external and 100GbE internal network
- ZFS storage replication between datacenters
Resultaat
- 100% privacy: customer data never leaves the own environment
- Fast failover in case of server defect (VM moves within minutes)
- Maximum scalability: easily add extra GPUs
- Optimal resource utilization through dynamic CPU/RAM/GPU distribution
- Significant cost savings through no license costs
"It was important that customers have a choice: use the well-known AI models at large hosting providers, or a local AI where data never leaves the own environment. With Proxmox VE and NVIDIA GPUs, we have achieved that flexibility."
