Fewer machines to buy and keep running, faster restores, and a failure that does not stop the office. We design the environment on your real workload and run it after installation.
Virtualising a server means running several servers, called virtual machines, on the same physical computer, each one isolated from the others. UreTech designs and runs virtualisation for SMEs with Proxmox VE, VMware vSphere and Microsoft Hyper-V: from a single host to a high-availability cluster, with tested backups and monitoring.
For a company it means the ERP, file server, internal mail and applications no longer each depend on their own hardware. A virtual machine is copied, moved and restored far more easily than a physical server.
Situations we often see in SMEs.
ERP, files, mail and access control on different machines, each with its own disks and support contract.
Extended support for Windows Server 2016 ends on 12 January 2027 (Microsoft Lifecycle, checked on 9/11/2026). A good moment to reorganise.
If the only server breaks, the office waits for the spare part.
Reinstalling a physical server from scratch takes time. A VM restarts from a backup or a replica.
From the first host to the cluster, with the same rules.
The physical server becomes a virtual machine, with data and programs as they were.
The cheapest option, with a copy of the VMs ready on a second system.
If a node stops, the VMs restart on their own on the others.
ZFS, Ceph or shared storage, chosen on data and performance.
Proxmox Backup Server or Veeam, with an off-site copy in the EU.
Hypervisor and firmware updates, monitoring, reports.
We do not start from the product. We start from what has to run, how many people use it and how long it can be down. Then we choose the platform.
| Platform | When we recommend it | Worth knowing |
|---|---|---|
| Proxmox VE | New installations and companies leaving VMware | Open source, optional per-socket subscription; backups with Proxmox Backup Server or Veeam |
| VMware vSphere | Companies already on vSphere with an active contract, or software certified only there | Subscription only from Broadcom since 2023 |
| Microsoft Hyper-V | Mostly Windows environments | Included in Windows Server; the Standard licence covers two Windows VMs per licensed host, Datacenter an unlimited number |
With a single host you spend less, but if it fails you restart from backup or from a replica on a second system. With two hosts the replica is ready and downtime is shorter. With three hosts in a cluster the VMs restart on their own on another node. In Proxmox, a high-availability cluster needs a majority of votes: three nodes, or two nodes plus a small external quorum device (QDevice).
The old server is copied live or in an agreed window, converted and started as a VM on the new host. We keep it switched off but intact until you have checked that the ERP and shared folders work. If you come from VMware, the route is described on the VMware to Proxmox migration page.
VMs often host the ERP. If it needs to talk to e-commerce, CRM or other software, we handle that with system integration without changing your vendor.
Technology ecosystem
Our partnerships cover websites and e-commerce. Around them sits the rest of the business: ERP, servers, backups and artificial intelligence. For each technology we say exactly what we do: we integrate, design, set up and build.
Clusters, virtualisation and backups sized on the real workload, with monitoring and updates. We also migrate from VMware to Proxmox, with a cut-over plan and agreed downtime.
Cloud infrastructureManaged servers and VPSBackup and disaster recovery
At the end of the installation you get a document listing hosts and virtual machines, the resources assigned to each, the network and storage diagram, the backup schedule and the procedure to restart everything after a power cut. Passwords stay in an encrypted vault that you can access too.
From the first review to ongoing management, without surprises.
Servers, programs, users, real workload and licence constraints.
Platform, number of hosts, storage, backups and timing, with separate cost items.
Hosts, network, storage and backups configured and documented.
P2V or VM import in agreed downtime windows.
Monitoring, updates and scheduled restore tests.
Our own infrastructure, including the gateway that protects the website you are reading, runs on Proxmox VE. They are the same tools and procedures we install for clients.
The cost has four items, always separate in the quote: hardware (if needed), any licences or subscriptions, design and installation, and the management fee. The initial review is free and we reply to requests within one working day. If you would rather not keep hardware in the office, consider a private or hybrid cloud.
We mostly work with companies of 5 to 100 workstations, professional firms and multi-site businesses that today run one or more physical servers in the office. The starting point is often an old server to replace or an ERP that has slowed down.
If you already have a virtual environment and just want someone to look after it, we start with a health check and tell you what to fix first.
How many servers you have, what runs on them and how old they are. We reply within one working day.
We will email you within one working day to book the 30 minutes. If it is urgent, message us on WhatsApp.
