What is Proxmox Private Cloud?

Summit’s Proxmox Private Cloud is a fully managed private cloud built on Proxmox VE, hosted in Summit enterprise data centers.

This model delivers the benefits of open-source virtualization without asking your team to become Proxmox experts overnight.

Summit handles the hypervisor platform, hardware, storage, networking, patching, and monitoring. Your team focuses on applications and operating systems.

Common Use Cases

Proxmox Private Cloud is ideal for:

Teams exiting VMware

If licensing changes or cost increases forced an unexpected migration, Proxmox provides a stable, proven alternative without trading control for another vendor dependency.

Teams that value ownership and control

You want private cloud flexibility without surrendering architectural decisions or long-term leverage.

Teams with hybrid infrastructure setups

You need virtualization that works alongside bare metal, containers, and public cloud without friction.

Migrating to Proxmox on your terms

Summit approaches Proxmox migrations with a focus on simplification. We help you unwind legacy platforms, clean up sprawl, and align resources to what your workloads actually need vs. what they’ve accumulated over time. The goal isn’t just to land you on Proxmox, but to leave you with an environment that’s easier to manage and easier to plan around.

If you want additional support, Summit can  migrate your workloads into our Proxmox Private Cloud for an added fee. Either way, you’ll keep the flexibility of Proxmox while we take responsibility for the underlying platform, infrastructure, and ongoing operations.
