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.
Managed Proxmox does not mean you have to host with us. The environment is yours - we take over the agreed operational responsibility.
Existing or new servers on your premises - we operate them via secure remote access without open ports.
Proxmox clusters in your DC or colocation rack - including coordination with the operator on hardware issues.
Hetzner, OVH, IONOS or STACKIT - we build and operate on the European infrastructure of your choice.
Server provided by WZ-IT: Managed Proxmox Hosting
We monitor hosts, VMs, storage, and cluster health around the clock and respond according to the agreed service level.
PVE, kernel and package updates in agreed maintenance windows. Available patches for critical vulnerabilities are prioritized.
We monitor security advisories for Proxmox VE, the host operating system, kernel, and agreed platform components.
We monitor PBS jobs and retention. Restore tests, immutable backups and specific RTO/RPO are explicitly agreed where required.
HA clusters, quorum, fencing, Ceph health and capacity planning - including grown setups.
Clear response times by service level - up to 24/7 P1 response within 30 minutes in Critical.
Agreed host and cluster logs are retained centrally and immutably; changes and responsibilities remain documented.
We spot bottlenecks before they occur and plan hardware expansion proactively with you.
Operations inside VMs, guest operating systems, and applications are covered only when explicitly included in the agreed scope.
We monitor the technical health of your Proxmox environment around the clock. Relevant anomalies are assessed and handled according to the agreed service level.
You operate Proxmox yourself and want to outsource monitoring? 24/7 proactive infrastructure monitoring is also available as a standalone module for Proxmox and other systems. Alerts are sent to your team.

Proxmox VE nodes in one or more covered clusters or customer environments.
The Proxmox subscription provides vendor support and the enterprise repository - but not operations. The two are not mutually exclusive: we also operate environments with an active subscription.

Answers to the most important questions
Ongoing Proxmox operations start from €179.90 excl. VAT / node and month. Essential is included; faster response targets apply per customer environment plus further covered nodes. The calculator shows a non-binding guide price. Clusters, Ceph, recovery targets, and the condition of the existing environment are reviewed technically and may change the final scope.
No. Proxmox VE is open source and runs fully without an enterprise subscription - we operate environments with and without one. If you want the enterprise repository or vendor support, you can purchase the subscription directly from Proxmox; it is not a prerequisite for our operations.
At WZ-IT, Proxmox maintenance, Proxmox management, and Managed Proxmox describe the same ongoing operations service. Maintenance is not a separate reduced package; it forms part of managed operations with monitoring, updates, backup management, agreed incident response, and documentation.
Yes. We manage individual Proxmox servers as well as HA and Ceph clusters on your hardware, in a data center, or with a bare-metal provider. Before takeover, we review the current state, access paths, network, storage, and backups, then confirm the specific operations scope.
We monitor CPU, RAM, disk I/O, network, ZFS/Ceph health, RAID and SMART status, VM status, cluster quorum, and PBS backup jobs around the clock. We respond proactively to relevant anomalies and follow the agreed alert and escalation paths.
Yes - even without up-to-date documentation. We start with a structured health check, document the current state, fix critical issues and then take over ongoing operations. Typical cases: the responsible admin has left, the current provider no longer fits, or the setup has grown historically.
Anywhere: on your on-site hardware, in your data center or colocation, or on European dedicated servers (Hetzner, OVH, IONOS, STACKIT). Access is via secure network connectivity without open ports.
No. Proxmox is open source, the environment is yours, and we document everything traceably - you keep full control at all times and can move operations in-house or to another provider. No vendor lock-in, no knowledge monopoly.

“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.”

Stadtwerke Brühl - municipal energy and infrastructure utility.
“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.”

“WZ-IT manages our Proxmox cluster reliably and professionally. The team handles continuous monitoring and regular updates for us and responds very quickly to any issues or inquiries. They also configure new nodes, systems, and applications that we need to add to our cluster. With WZ-IT's proactive support, our cluster and the business-critical applications running on it remain stable, and high availability is consistently ensured. We value the professional collaboration and the noticeable relief it brings to our daily operations.”

“I recently worked with Timo and the WZ-IT team, and honestly, it turned out to be one of the best tech decisions I have made for my business. Right from the start, Timo took the time to walk me through every step in a simple and calm way. No matter how many questions I had, he never rushed me. The results speak for themselves. With WZ-IT, we reduced our monthly expenses from $1,300 down to $250. This was a huge win for us.”

“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.”

Even after the setup, they take care of the maintenance, which frees up my time enormously and allows me to focus on other important areas of my business - with the good feeling that our IT is in the best hands. I can recommend WZ-IT without reservation and look forward to continuing our collaboration! (translated)”
