For small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), a flexible, secure, and highly available IT infrastructure is the key to success. One way to meet these requirements is to build your own private cloud – for example, with an HA Proxmox Cluster running on certified Hetzner hardware.

Disclaimer

Some parts of this article might sound a bit technical – which is great if you're completely new to the subject! In a free consultation, we will review how we can support your business with tailored solutions. As your partner, we can also manage and operate the cluster upon request, depending on your requirements. It is important to us that we never leave our customers on their own and that we are a strong partner from day one.
