Cloud&Heat Arcanist is a cloud environment based on Proxmox Virtual Environment (VE), an open-source platform based on Debian Linux. As well as providing a cloud infrastructure based on the Proxmox VE Enterprise repositories (Proxmox Subscriptions), Cloud&Heat Arcanist also includes a proprietary lifecycle management tool for Proxmox VE, as well as various support options for its operation. Your Cloud&Heat Arcanist can also be enhanced with additional services such as the Proxmox Datacentre Manager and the Proxmox Backup Server.

Cloud &Heat Arcanist is particularly well suited to organisations looking to build a compact cloud infrastructure or expand an existing one. Proxmox VE combines virtualisation and containerisation in a resource-efficient solution and offers a user-friendly, web-based management interface. Its technology-agnostic approach ensures a high level of compatibility with existing network and storage technologies, which facilitates integration into existing IT infrastructures.
However, your Cloud&Heat Arcanist can also scale. For example, we can enhance your environment with Proxmox Datacentre Manager, enabling you to centrally manage multiple instances of Proxmox, even across data centre boundaries.

Yes, your Cloud&Heat Arcanist can also be installed and operated on existing hardware, provided that the technical requirements for a Proxmox VE environment are met. We’d be happy to check this for you.
If you wish to expand your hardware infrastructure, we can also configure, supply and install bespoke hardware.

• High availability and scalable cluster architectures: Proxmox VE enables the creation of high-performance cluster environments for small and medium-sized IT infrastructures. By using the Proxmox Datacentre Manager, multiple clusters can be managed centrally via a single management interface. This makes the platform suitable for both high-availability data centre environments and private cloud solutions with stringent requirements for data protection, security and response times.
• User-friendly administration: The modern web interface simplifies the management of the entire virtualisation environment. From individual hosts to large-scale cluster installations, all resources can be managed with ease. Extensive API interfaces are also available for automated processes and larger infrastructures.
• High-performance data backup and flexible storage integration: Proxmox VE offers comprehensive backup and recovery functions directly within the system. Furthermore, the native integration of Ceph enables a highly available and fault-tolerant storage architecture. This is complemented by support for numerous other storage technologies, ensuring maximum operational flexibility. The Proxmox Backup Server is integrated with the Proxmox VE platform for hypervisor-level backups and can also be used with the PBS client software at file system level. The Proxmox Backup Server runs on Debian Linux and is available as open source on a long-term basis.

Yes. Cloud&Heat supports you in planning and implementing the migration to your Proxmox VE cloud environment. Together, we will develop a suitable migration strategy and guide you through the process of moving your workloads to the new environment.
