Proxmox VE 9.2 vs VMware: Is It Time for SMEs to Switch?
Proxmox VE 9.2 has been available since May 21, 2026. On paper, it is a minor release. In practice, it matters much more for many...
For provider changes, missing documentation, or organically grown environments, we assess nodes, clusters, storage, networking, and backups, then transfer the confirmed scope into Managed Proxmox.
Companies worldwide trust WZ-IT
The following are trademarks of their respective owners: Proxmox VE (Proxmox Server Solutions GmbH). WZ-IT is an independent service provider and has no business, partnership, or contractual relationship with these companies. We offer independent migration, installation, hosting, and operations services.
Proxmox runs stably - until the person who understands it is missing. These are the three situations in which companies come to us.
The person who built the cluster has left the company - and with them the knowledge. Access, quirks and configuration are only partially known.
Your current IT provider responds slowly, has become too expensive or no longer fits technically. You want to switch through a controlled transition with clear responsibilities.
The setup „just always ran“ - but updates were postponed, backups never tested, and nobody dares touch anything. Every change is a risk.
Three steps - from first access to accountable operations. Without any period in which nobody is responsible.
Structured assessment: versions, storage (ZFS/Ceph), cluster status, backups, network, security baseline and open risks - with a prioritized action list.
Fix critical issues: overdue updates, untested backups, missing redundancy. In parallel, complete handover-ready documentation is created.
Set up 24/7 proactive monitoring, defined maintenance windows, and fixed response times before the cluster enters the agreed operating model.
After the takeover, your environment runs under managed operations: 24/7 proactive monitoring, updates, backup management, and agreed response targets - transparent from €179.90 per node per month.

For professional secrecy holders
If Proxmox processes client, patient or other professional secrets, WZ-IT plans the application, infrastructure, access, backups and ongoing operations within a purpose-built operating model.

Answers to the most important questions
Yes - that is the normal case. The health check is built exactly for this: we systematically capture the current state (configuration, storage, network, backups, access) and create the documentation that has been missing. You only need to provide us access.
The takeover starts with a fixed-price health check, depending on the size of the environment (number of nodes, storage complexity). Afterwards, operations run as Managed Proxmox from €179.90 per node per month - so you know exactly what to expect in advance.
The timeline depends on the number of nodes, documentation, access, storage, and open findings. After the assessment, you receive an agreed sequence for stabilisation and operational takeover. Critical risks are prioritised and handled through the agreed change and escalation process.
Once the agreed 24/7 monitoring and response scope is active, we respond to incidents - including during the stabilization phase. The takeover is structured so that there is no period in which nobody feels responsible.
Yes. On request, we coordinate the handover directly with your current provider - professionally and without finger-pointing. If cooperation is not possible, we reconstruct the state from the running environment.
No. We take over operations where your environment runs today - on-site, in your data center or on dedicated servers. If the health check shows hardware needs, we plan renewal or migration together and transparently.
