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.

Built on the open-source Proxmox VE platform and fully managed by Summit, this delivers enterprise-grade virtualization without vendor lock-in.

Migration

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.

At one point while we were airing on ABC’s Shark Tank, we were adding 150 users per SECOND. When we finally peaked, our simultaneous users increased by 10,612.5%. It was absolute chaos, and it was great thanks to Summit’s Cloud.
