On-Premise
Private Cloud.
Begone Big Bills.
Proxmox Virtual Environment delivers KVM VMs, LXC containers, HA clustering, Ceph HCI storage, and live migration under an open-source AGPL licence — with no per-CPU core fees and no seat counts.
How much does Proxmox migration save?
Beyond migration.
Infrastructure, sustained.
Gap Assessment,
Recommendation & Remediation
Systematic evaluation against security baselines and operational best practices — configuration drift, patch currency, access hygiene, and backup integrity all scored against the same rubric we apply across every managed cluster. Findings delivered as prioritised action items, ranked by risk and blast radius, with remediation handled end-to-end by Illumia engineers rather than left as a report you have to action yourself.
Findings tracked against a rolling quarterly checkpoint — not a once-a-year snapshot.
- Annual baseline audit
- Remediation roadmap
- Configuration hardening
- Post-remediation validation
Geo-Distributed Monitoring
24/7 observability across all nodes, clusters, and sites — latency, saturation, and error rates surfaced in a unified dashboard. Proactive alerting catches degradation before downtime.
- Multi-site cluster visibility
- Real-time metric collection
- Alerting & escalation runbooks
- Monthly uptime reports
Quarterly Vulnerability Assessment
Four structured security reviews per year. CVE exposure, network surface, access controls — each closes with a risk-rated report and coordinated patch scheduling.
- CVE scanning per node
- Network exposure review
- Privileged access audit
- Patch scheduling
Proxmox Ecosystem Upgradation
Continuous alignment with the Proxmox release track — planned, tested, zero-downtime upgrades to PVE, PBS, and PMG with full rollback procedures documented before every change.
- Version lifecycle tracking
- Staged rolling upgrades
- Pre-upgrade validation
- Rollback runbooks
AMS engagements are scoped annually with optional monthly reporting. Direct line to Illumia engineers — not a ticketing queue.

Proxmox Datacenter Manager
Centralised Fleet Control
Single management plane across every Proxmox VE cluster in your estate. Monitor, coordinate upgrades, and enforce access policies from one interface — spanning multiple sites with no per-node agents.
- Multi-cluster unified dashboard
- Cross-site node and VM visibility
- Centralised upgrade coordination
- RBAC scoped to cluster or node level

Proxmox Backup Server
Deduplicated, Encrypted Backup
Incremental block-level backups for VMs, containers, and physical hosts. Client-side AES-256 encryption, chunk-level deduplication, and verifiable point-in-time restores — replaces Veeam without the invoice.
- Incremental block-level snapshot backups
- Client-side AES-256 encryption
- Chunk deduplication — 60–80% storage savings
- Restore integrity verification before you need it

Proxmox Mail Gateway
On-Premise Email Security
Open-source SMTP proxy scanning all inbound and outbound mail traffic. Spam classification, virus scanning, DMARC/SPF/DKIM enforcement, and per-user quarantine — SMTP proxy architecture, no MX record change required.
- Spam and phishing classification engine
- Virus scanning — ClamAV and commercial feeds
- DMARC / SPF / DKIM enforcement
- Per-user quarantine and detailed reporting

Everything enterprise virtualisation requires.
KVM VMs and LXC Containers — one platform, no extra licences.
Hardware-virtualised VMs via KVM alongside lightweight Linux containers via LXC — both managed from a single browser interface. Import directly from VMware ESXi or vSphere with the native vCenter importer, preserving disks, MACs, and network configuration.
- Live migration across nodes
- Nested virtualisation support
- PCI passthrough for GPUs and NICs
- Direct ESXi/vCenter import

HA clustering with automated failover — no extra licences.
Corosync quorum, automated fencing, and per-VM migration policies, with dynamic load balancing across nodes — built into the platform.
- Automated VM and container failover
- Live migration and rolling upgrades
- Dynamic load balancer (Proxmox VE 9+)
- Fencing with IPMI, watchdog, agents
Ceph HCI and ZFS — software-defined storage built in.
Hyperconverged Ceph block and object storage replicated across nodes on commodity hardware. ZFS for instant snapshots, async replication, and self-healing on local disks. Proxmox Backup Server ships free.
- Ceph RBD block + CephFS shared storage
- Configurable replication factor
- ZFS snapshots and async send/receive
- Deduplicated PBS backups with encryption
Source: proxmox.com
ZFS Snapshots
Instant copy-on-write, async replication, self-healing checksums — ideal for branch and edge.
Proxmox Backup Server
Deduplicated, encrypted incremental backups with point-in-time restore. Replaces Veeam licensing.
SDN Stack
VXLAN overlays, EVPN, and zone-based segmentation. Native OVS and Linux bridge.
REST API
Every UI action has an API equivalent. Provision via Terraform, configure via Ansible.
Enterprise virtualisation, open source.
Proxmox VE runs production workloads, meets enterprise HA requirements, and integrates with the same automation toolchain your team already uses — under an AGPL licence with optional commercial subscription support.
Zero data loss migration methodology.
Assessment
