Proxmox Private Cloud – Scalable, Affordable, Yours

HorizonIQ is proud to introduce Proxmox Managed Private Cloud (Managed Private Cloud)—the industry’s first US-based fully managed Proxmox private cloud. Built on Proxmox VE, this solution offers a scalable, affordable, and flexible alternative to traditional hypervisors.

Proxmox Managed Private Cloud delivers modern private cloud infrastructure for businesses that value performance, customization, and cost control. It’s ideal for teams that want to avoid vendor lock-in, simplified operations, and full-stack support—all without the complexity of self-management or long-term contracts.

Why Choose Proxmox Managed Private Cloud for Your Private Cloud Infrastructure?

Proxmox Managed Private Cloud is designed to make Proxmox business-ready. We handle the deployment, management, and support so businesses can take advantage of open-source flexibility with reliable hardware and service.

Whether deploying for development, edge workloads, or as a cost-effective alternative to other platforms, Proxmox Managed Private Cloud provides everything needed to scale infrastructure without sacrificing control or budget.

Key Benefits of Proxmox Managed Private Cloud

Industry-First Managed Proxmox Hosting

The first fully managed private cloud built on Proxmox VE, designed for production workloads and long-term growth. This open-source foundation gives businesses freedom from restrictive licensing, vendor lock-in, and the unpredictable costs of proprietary hypervisors.

Why it matters: Organizations gain infrastructure control without the risk of sudden pricing changes or forced migrations tied to vendor roadmaps.

Single-Tenant Architecture and Data Sovereignty

Maintain full control and compliance with single-tenant private cloud environments across global data centers. No resource contention ensures consistent performance.

Why it matters: Businesses with strict compliance, privacy, or performance requirements can meet their goals without compromise.

Scalable, Cost-Effective Private Cloud

Start small and expand over time with hyperconverged NVMe storage and node-level scaling. Predictable monthly pricing at up to 50% less than major public cloud providers.

Why it matters: Companies can grow infrastructure based on real demand while keeping costs transparent and under control.

High-Performance Infrastructure

Backed by AMD EPYC CPUs, Intel Xeon Gold CPUs, and all-flash NVMe storage, this infrastructure supports demanding workloads.

Why it matters: Performance-sensitive applications like analytics, databases, and virtual desktops run reliably and fast.

Flexible Contracts and Add-Ons

Month-to-month billing available. Customize networking with HorizonIQ or Palo Alto firewalls, and add high availability firewalls or load balancers as needed.

Why it matters: Teams can adapt infrastructure on their terms without being locked into rigid plans or unnecessary features.

Practical AI Applications

Maximize AI performance with scalable Proxmox clusters for high-performance training, streamlined deployment, fast data access, and optimized GPU/CPU usage.

Why it matters: Accelerate time to insight while maintaining full control over AI environments and compute costs.

Global Availability

Who Should Consider Proxmox Managed Private Cloud?

Choose Proxmox Managed Private Cloud if any of the following apply:

  • A cost-effective alternative to other platforms is needed
  • Avoiding vendor lock-in and unpredictable licensing costs is a priority
  • Workloads do not require DRaaS or same-site backups at this time
  • Built-in data redundancy is preferred without managing RAID
  • A compliant, single-tenant environment is required for privacy and control
  • There’s a need to scale compute and storage flexibly without long-term contracts
  • The use case involves development, testing, or edge deployments where agility matters
  • A fully supported and customizable Proxmox-based infrastructure is preferred over a DIY setup
