Proxmox Solutions in Zimbabwe
Open-Source Bare-Metal Hypervisor, delivered by NITS Zimbabwe's certified engineers.
Since the licensing changes at VMware under Broadcom, many organisations have seen their virtualisation costs rise sharply at renewal. Proxmox Virtual Environment is an open-source platform that combines the KVM hypervisor and LXC containers with a web-based management interface, and it delivers the features you rely on in vSphere without the licensing cost.
Proxmox VE includes live migration, high availability clustering, software-defined storage (Ceph and ZFS) and integrated backup. The software itself carries no licence fee, so you pay only for the support level you choose, instead of a per-core VMware subscription.
NITS plans and delivers full data centre migrations from VMware vSphere (and Hyper-V) to Proxmox, backed by enterprise support and Proxmox VE-certified technicians, so your production workloads move safely and your running costs come down.
Why Organisations Choose Proxmox VE
The core virtualisation capabilities you rely on, with licensing that is simple to count and predictable to budget.
Lower running costs
No licence fee for the software itself. You pay only for the support you choose, not a per-core subscription bundle.
Enterprise features included
Live migration, high availability clustering, Ceph and ZFS storage and integrated backup come with Proxmox VE.
No vendor lock-in
Built on open standards (KVM, LXC and open storage formats), so you stay in control of your platform and your roadmap.
Full utilisation of existing hosts
Proxmox runs on standard x86 servers. After an assessment, your current Dell, Lenovo or similar hosts can stay in service and be used to their full capacity.
Licence units for one dual-socket, 64-core host. Proxmox VE software itself has no licence fee; subscriptions add support and the enterprise repository. Prices depend on edition and agreement, so ask us for a side-by-side costing.
Full Data Centre Migrations, Planned and Managed by NITS
We move entire VMware environments, not just individual servers, using a method built to protect your production workloads.
1. Assess & plan
We inventory your hosts, virtual machines, storage, networks, dependencies and licences, then agree a migration plan and costing with you.
2. Design & build
We design the Proxmox cluster, storage, networking and backup around your workloads, on new or existing hardware.
3. Pilot
Non-critical workloads move first, so performance and recovery are proven before anything important is touched.
4. Migrate
Production workloads move in agreed windows to keep downtime to a minimum, with a rollback plan for every stage.
5. Validate & hand over
We test, document and train your team, and switch on monitoring and backup before we sign the project off.
