Dedicated infrastructure. Fully managed. Predictable costs.
A managed private cloud combines dedicated resources with the flexibility of cloud — all maintained by Summit’s engineers. Your infrastructure is exclusively yours: enhanced security, full control, consistent performance.
Choose VMware, Hyper-V, or Proxmox. Summit handles monitoring, updates, security, scaling, and maintenance so you don’t have to build an in-house team around it.

Dedicated performance, consistent pricing, and your choice of three hypervisors — all fully managed by Summit.
Hyper-V Private Cloud
Windows-Aligned. Cost-Predictable.
Lower, more predictable licensing costs with tight integration into Windows Server and hybrid capability via Azure Arc. No sudden licensing surprises — if you already pay for Windows licensing, there’s no additional hypervisor cost.
Best fit for:
Teams wanting a reliable private cloud with a rich feature set, support ecosystem, and stable platform not tied to a single vendor’s roadmap.
Proxmox Private Cloud
Open Source. Enterprise-Grade.
Lowest-cost hypervisor option. Open-source virtualization with strong performance for mixed VM and container workloads. Built-in clustering, high availability, and backup tooling — no per-core or per-socket licensing models.
Best fit for:
Teams wanting maximum flexibility, cost control, and no dependency on a single vendor’s roadmap.
VMware Private Cloud
Familiar vSphere Ecosystem.
Strong support for existing VMware-dependent workloads and smooth lift-and-shift from on-prem VMware environments. If you’re deeply invested in the VMware ecosystem, Summit manages it fully.
Best fit for:
Organizations deeply invested in VMware-specific workflows who need continuity while planning a longer-term strategy.
