What is a private Proxmox Cloud?

A private Proxmox Cloud is your own dedicated virtualization environment – with the flexibility of a cloud, but without the dependency on a hyperscaler.

Proxmox as the foundation

Proxmox VE combines KVM virtualization and LXC containers in an open platform. Multiple nodes form a cluster that distributes virtual machines automatically and moves them to healthy nodes on failure (HA / failover) – including live migration without downtime.

CEPH as distributed storage

The heart of it is storage: CEPH distributes data redundantly across all nodes and heals failures on its own. If a node fails, the data stays available – and storage simply scales as you add nodes.

When is it worth it?

• You want control over your infrastructure, without public-cloud lock-in.
• High availability is a must, not a nice-to-have.
• GDPR and hosting in Germany matter to you.

A cluster makes sense from three nodes – the basis for real HA and CEPH replication. Details on our Private Proxmox Cloud & CEPH page.
