Enterprise virtualization with Proxmox Virtual Environment
initMAX is an official Proxmox Authorized Reseller. We help you choose subscriptions, design your infrastructure, migrate workloads and keep the platform running. Our experience covers dozens of real-world deployments, from individual servers to high-availability clusters with Ceph and environments across multiple sites.
What we offer as a Proxmox partner
Subscriptions are one part of a working solution. We help connect architecture, deployment, monitoring, recovery and the people who operate it.
- Consulting and architecture — Capacity planning, storage and network design, availability requirements and a practical implementation plan.
- Turnkey deployment — Installation, cluster configuration, validation, documentation and handover.
- Migration — Moving from VMware, Hyper-V or existing infrastructure with preparation, testing and a rollback plan.
- Technical support — Operational assistance and vendor escalation under the purchased subscription and agreed service scope.
- Environment audit — Reviewing configuration, performance, security and recovery readiness, with prioritized recommendations.
- Upgrades — Planning and carrying out platform updates, including compatibility checks and post-upgrade validation.
- Training — Courses and workshops for administrators, with the format and scope described on each course page.

Products from the Proxmox portfolio
Proxmox Virtual Environment
Proxmox Virtual Environment brings KVM virtual machines, Linux Containers (LXC), storage and networking into one web-based management platform.
- High-availability clustering and live migration for planned maintenance and workload recovery.
- Local storage with ZFS or LVM-Thin; shared storage through NFS, iSCSI or Fibre Channel; distributed Ceph storage and hyper-converged infrastructure.
- Built-in backup, restore and replication, plus integration with Proxmox Backup Server.
- Software-defined networking and an integrated firewall.
We design availability around your applications and their dependencies. A cluster does not by itself guarantee uninterrupted application operation.
Proxmox Backup Server
Proxmox Backup Server protects virtual machines, containers and physical hosts. Incremental, deduplicated backups save storage space; a web interface brings jobs, verification and recovery together. Remote synchronization supports copies at another location.
We help plan retention, separate access rights and restore testing to support recovery after failures, mistakes or ransomware incidents.
Proxmox Mail Gateway
Proxmox Mail Gateway filters email before it reaches your mail server. It combines spam and virus checks, attachment policies, quarantine and an object-oriented rule system with web-based administration and user quarantine access.
We help integrate it with your mail environment and tune policies for your users and operating requirements.
Proxmox Datacenter Manager
Proxmox Datacenter Manager provides a central view of multiple Proxmox Virtual Environment clusters and Proxmox Backup Server systems across sites. It helps administrators monitor distributed resources and coordinate operations.
Proxmox Datacenter Manager has no separate subscription. Access to its Enterprise Repository requires at least 80% of configured remote nodes to have an active Basic, Standard or Premium subscription. These tiers can be combined across managed systems and count together toward the threshold. Community does not count toward the 80%, even though it is a paid subscription.
Example: 50 Basic nodes and 50 Standard nodes provide 100% coverage and meet the requirement. PDM support entitlement comes from the subscriptions of the managed systems. Within each individual Proxmox VE cluster, all nodes must use the same subscription tier; different tiers can be used across clusters or standalone systems.
Choose the subscription and support you need
Basic, Standard and Premium include vendor ticket support. Community provides Enterprise Repository access and community assistance, without vendor ticket support. Subscriptions concern updates and support; they do not unlock different editions of the software.

Proxmox VE ticket allowances apply per subscribed physical server, not per CPU socket.
Support changes from 19 October 2026: Proxmox VE and Backup Server Premium will expand to 24/7, including existing subscriptions. At the same time, business-hours support will align with North American hours for customers in that region and Eastern Australian hours for Asia-Pacific customers. Proxmox plans to extend Standard to 24/7 by the end of 2026; an exact date has not yet been announced.
initMAX consulting, migration, implementation, monitoring, maintenance and any extended-hours assistance are agreed separately. Explore our services on the Proxmox support page.
Why work with initMAX
We bring practical experience from single-server installations, Ceph clusters and infrastructure spanning multiple locations. We combine virtualization with Zabbix monitoring, Wazuh security monitoring and PostgreSQL database expertise, so the design takes account of the services running on the platform. Our work can continue from the initial assessment through migration, documentation, training and ongoing operations.
Pricing example: 10 hypervisors, Datacenter Manager and one backup server
The example includes 10 physical Proxmox VE servers with two occupied CPU sockets each, one Proxmox Backup Server and centralized management through Proxmox Datacenter Manager. The four itemized variants below show each component, support entitlement and final price.
Option Community
For test and non-critical environments backed by your own expertise and community assistance.
Option Basic
For smaller production environments needing occasional vendor assistance.
Option Standard
Our recommended combination for day-to-day business production and regular virtualization and backup support.
Option Premium
For business-critical infrastructure that needs the highest vendor support tier.
Combine tiers around your needs: Backup Server can use a different tier from the virtualization cluster. For example, VE Basic + PBS Standard strengthens backup support: €7,400 + €2,240 = €9,640 per year at list price, or €8,676 with the 10% initMAX discount. Proxmox VE nodes within the same cluster must still use the same tier. We can help you choose the right combination.
Amounts exclude VAT. The example covers subscriptions only; hardware, implementation, training and initMAX services are quoted separately. Your quotation confirms the final price, discount and validity.
