Proxmox is a trademark of Proxmox Server Solutions GmbH. WZ-IT is an authorized reseller partner of Proxmox Server Solutions GmbH. Our managed services and service levels are agreed separately from Proxmox subscriptions.
We assess the current state and plan the upgrade to PVE 9.2, including existing dependencies on Ceph, PBS, and HA. Major upgrades are confirmed as a separate scope in advance.
Read the upgrade guide →WZ-IT provides Proxmox maintenance and ongoing management as Managed Proxmox for individual servers as well as HA and Ceph clusters on your infrastructure.
The operating scope combines 24/7 proactive monitoring, scheduled updates, CVE review, backup management, and incident response by service level.
Proxmox maintenance forms part of ongoing Managed Proxmox operations. The specific scope is defined for the infrastructure and its criticality.
PVE, kernel, and package updates in agreed maintenance windows.
Security advisories for Proxmox VE, the host system, kernel, and agreed platform components.
Hosts, VMs, storage, and cluster health are monitored around the clock.
PBS jobs, retention, and relevant failures are monitored. Restore tests are explicitly agreed where required.
Quorum, HA, ZFS, Ceph, and available capacity remain under observation within the agreed scope.
Agreed logs are retained centrally and immutably; changes and responsibilities remain documented.
Relevant incidents are handled within the agreed response targets.
Bottlenecks and foreseeable expansions are assessed with your team at an early stage.
A dedicated technical contact knows your environment and coordinates operations.
Scope and conditions are individually tailored to your Proxmox environment.
This is how a maintenance cycle runs in your environment - from update to report.
PVE minor updates are applied in the agreed maintenance window. Available patches for critical vulnerabilities are prioritized after assessing the affected environment.
Major upgrades such as PVE 8 to 9 are assessed in advance, confirmed as a separate scope, and planned with dependencies and a rollback path.
Read the upgrade guideWhere Ceph is part of the operating scope, version maintenance and changes are aligned with the PVE version, cluster health, and redundancy.
Where PBS is included, we monitor jobs, retention, and prune, GC, and verify status. Documented restore tests can be agreed separately.
We monitor the agreed Proxmox systems around the clock and handle relevant alerts within the defined operating scope.
After each cycle you receive a compact report: applied updates, anomalies, backup status and recommendations for the next cycle.
Proxmox maintenance, Proxmox management, and Managed Proxmox describe the same ongoing service. We monitor and maintain the agreed environment and respond according to the selected service level.

Answers to the most important questions
At WZ-IT, Proxmox maintenance forms part of Managed Proxmox. It includes 24/7 proactive monitoring, regular PVE, kernel, and package updates, CVE and advisory monitoring, backup management, immutable operations logs, documentation, and incident response according to the agreed service level. Restore tests, specific RTO/RPO, and major upgrades are explicitly agreed where required.
At WZ-IT, Proxmox maintenance, Proxmox management, and Managed Proxmox lead to the same ongoing operations service. It starts at €179.90 net per node and month. The calculator on the Managed Proxmox page provides a non-binding guide price; clusters, Ceph, recovery objectives, and the condition of an existing environment are reviewed technically.
Update frequency and maintenance windows are agreed for the environment. Regular PVE, kernel, and package updates follow that schedule. For critical vulnerabilities, we assess exposure, available mitigations, and operational risk, then prioritise a suitable patch or mitigation path.
Major upgrades are technically assessed in advance and confirmed as a separate scope. We record dependencies, review the backup and rollback path, and check the compatibility of Ceph, PBS, and other components. The process and possible interruptions depend on architecture, capacity, and workloads.
We assess the specific exposure, available patches or mitigations, and operational risk. Any required change is prioritised, coordinated, and documented through the agreed change and escalation path; the response target and further incident work follow the service level.
Relevant incidents receive a technical initial response according to the agreed service level. We assess the alert, initiate the agreed actions, and coordinate other parties such as the hardware or infrastructure provider where required. The scope of subsequent remediation follows the contract.
No. Proxmox VE is open source and can be operated without an enterprise subscription. A subscription adds the enterprise repository and, depending on tier, vendor support. Our managed operations do not replace that vendor service; they cover the ongoing operation of your environment.
We monitor CPU, RAM, disk I/O, network, RAID/ZFS status, Ceph health, VM status, and cluster quorum around the clock. We respond proactively to relevant anomalies according to the agreed service level.
Maintenance mode supports planned work on HA cluster nodes. Whether guests can be live-migrated and continue without interruption depends on storage, networking, remaining capacity, and the individual workload. We assess these prerequisites when planning the maintenance window.

“WZ-IT's advice on our Azure migration was technically sound and completely non-binding right from the intro call - we took away a great deal.”
Customer feedback on virtualization, backup, VPN, security and ongoing cluster operations.
“WZ-IT moved our studio infrastructure from decentralised individual devices to a central platform: every site is securely connected via VPN, new devices are onboarded automatically and an entire site is provisioned from a template, without manual steps on location. What impressed me most is the breadth and depth of their knowledge: Timo and Robin are not a typical IT provider who sets up a server and leaves. The two of them think their way into highly complex infrastructure and software topics, work through every requirement we put in front of them, and build networking, provisioning and operations so that everything fits together in the end. WZ-IT is an excellent partner for complex software, network and architecture projects.”
Steve Kirchner
Managing Director, nextGYM GmbH
“Professional, honest and technically thoroughly sound: WZ-IT set up our Proxmox and backup infrastructure securely and future-proof. The consulting from Timo and Robin was objective and needs-driven, the implementation smooth and the final documentation exemplary. You can tell immediately that business-critical infrastructure is thought through holistically from the outset here and implemented with clear ownership.”

“WZ-IT provided very competent support in implementing our server and virtualization infrastructure. As part of the project, a Proxmox-based virtualization environment was set up along with a virtual machine for our application systems. Additionally, a structured backup concept was implemented. A particular focus was on security: the setup of a VPN tunnel and the clean implementation of encryption and access concepts were professionally executed. The structured consulting as well as the reliable and swift implementation deserve special mention. We are very satisfied with the services provided and are happy to recommend WZ-IT.”

“Communication with WZ-IT was open, friendly and professional from the very beginning. Mr. Wevelsiep and Mr. Zins responded to every one of our questions patiently, promptly and respectfully, and contributed their own suggestions and good ideas on how to modernize our server infrastructure and adapt it even better to our needs. Throughout, WZ-IT consistently kept our need for data sovereignty and GDPR compliance in mind. Even short-notice adjustments and change requests from our side were implemented quickly and patiently and integrated consistently into the overall concept. From planning to the final handover, every step was documented transparently and comprehensively - so if a provider change should ever become necessary, the documentation would let us onboard a successor into our infrastructure very quickly. We are extremely satisfied with WZ-IT and hope to continue working together for a long time.”
