Why Proxmox VE
Proxmox VE is open source, with a per-socket subscription that funds the vendor and unlocks the stable enterprise repository. No per-VM or per-core licensing: costs stay predictable as your estate grows. KVM and LXC in one console, and a full REST API for Terraform and Ansible.
FAQ
How much does managed Proxmox VE cost?
One-off engagements are billed from 750 EUR ex-VAT per day: the rate depends on the nature of the engagement, a standardised service or a custom design for critical environments. The recurring managed retainer depends on the number of sockets and the target SLA: we quote within 48 hours of a scoping call. Proxmox subscriptions are resold at the vendor's official price, no hidden markup.
Self-managed versus managed Proxmox, what's the difference?
Self-managed means your team owns the operations: patches, monitoring, incidents, backup tests. Managed means we absorb that day-to-day while you keep the strategic decisions. It's particularly relevant when the cost of a full-time Proxmox engineer exceeds the managed retainer.
Can I buy my Proxmox subscriptions through LenoIT?
Yes. As an authorized Proxmox reseller, we provide the official subscriptions (Community, Basic, Standard, Premium) at list price, billed within LenoIT's invoicing.
Do you intervene on-site or only remotely?
Day-to-day work is remote from Vannes. On-site work (initial commissioning, hardware moves, room audits, group training) is scheduled when relevant, primarily in Brittany and western France, but we cover all of France.
How is 24/7 on-call organised?
Three people share the rota: Emmanuel and two on-call partners, who arrange the 24/7 cover between them. Monitoring runs on Zabbix; an alert opens a ticket and escalates by SMS or phone call to whoever is on call, through our in-house phone system, hosted by our telephony partner Litel. Depending on the contract, we respond within 2 hours.
Do we keep our admin access?
That is your call. You can keep your own access, share it with us or hand us full operations: the level of access follows what you want, and it can change during the contract.
What happens when the contract ends?
Everything is yours: the cluster, its configuration and the access. We work transparently from start to finish, and we help your team or another provider take over using standard tools.
