High-availability VMs from a German data center – on a VMware enterprise stack
Redundant VMware clusters for business-critical applications – optionally distributed across two sites, with flexible resources from 1 to 48 vCores and up to 10 Gbit/s.
- VMware-based enterprise platform in a German data center
- Optional: second site via a partner data center
- No fixed packages – we design your HA environment individually
When high-availability VMs make sense
High availability pays off wherever outages get expensive – whether through lost revenue, missed orders, SLA obligations or internal processes that must not come to a halt.
For which customers & projects?
- Companies with business-critical applications (ERP, CRM, DMS, custom software)
- Online shops & SaaS platforms with clear availability targets and SLAs
- Agencies & IT service providers with customer projects that must “always” be online
- Communication & collaboration systems (VoIP, chat, intranet, portals)
- Internal systems that need to be available 24/7 (production & logistics environments)
What goals does it achieve?
- Significantly reduced outage risk thanks to redundant VMware clusters
- Planned maintenance windows without downtime by moving VMs within the cluster
- Stable performance even when hardware fails
- Optional site redundancy: operation across two separate sites – the second via a partner data center
- Backup & recovery strategies tailored to your workloads
Performance range & architecture of our HA platform
Our high-availability VMs run on a VMware enterprise stack. Resources are sized to your needs – without rigid packages. Together we define how much CPU, RAM, storage and network you really need.
Scales to your needs – from small services to compute-intensive workloads.
Plenty of headroom for databases, application servers, caches and more.
High-performance NVMe storage – more capacity available on request.
Ideal for data-intensive applications, APIs and internal VPN/hybrid scenarios.
On request, operation across two sites – the second via a partner data centre around 10 km away, with a coordinated concept.
There are deliberately no standard packages. We size your HA environment together – tailored to load profiles, growth plans and budget.
VMware enterprise stack
Run your VMs on a professional VMware cluster with redundant hosts and shared storage – ideal for demanding IT landscapes.
Redundant storage infrastructure
Fast, highly available storage systems form the foundation for stable performance and reliable data storage for your systems.
Second site on request
On request, we distribute your environment across two sites – the second via a partner data center, including a coordinated backup and recovery strategy.
Joint planning
We discuss workloads, SLAs and budget and use them to develop a suitable architecture with clear reserves and room for growth.
Data center in Germany
Operated in a German data center with modern infrastructure, access control and redundant power supply – suitable for sensitive data.
Optional managed services
On request, we take care of OS maintenance, monitoring, backup concepts and more – so you can focus on your applications.

Why we can reliably offer high-availability VMs
Behind our high-availability VMs is a VMware-based enterprise infrastructure: redundant hosts, shared storage, a multi-tier network and end-to-end monitoring. This is the technical foundation on which we plan and operate demanding HA scenarios together with you.
Cluster of multiple VMware hosts
Your VMs run on a cluster of multiple VMware hosts. If a host fails, workloads can be moved to other hosts – the basis for true high availability rather than isolated single systems.
Shared storage with NVMe tiers
The VMs use central storage systems with fast NVMe tiers. This means data isn't tied to a single host and remains usable within the cluster during maintenance or failures.
Redundant network design
Multiple switches, separate paths and up to 10 Gbit/s connectivity ensure that network traffic keeps flowing reliably even during disruptions – ideal for APIs, VPN setups and internal connections.
Monitoring & automated checks
Central monitoring systems watch hosts, storage and VMs. Alert thresholds, notifications and regular health checks help detect problems early and respond proactively.
Standardized operating processes
Maintenance, updates and changes follow clearly defined processes. This makes adjustments plannable and repeatable – no “tinkering” on production systems.
An experienced team behind it
Behind the platform is a team that works with VMware, Linux and Windows servers as well as network and storage topics every day. This experience flows directly into the design, operation and support of your environment.
Transparent management & monitoring of your HA environment
Your high-availability VMs are easy to manage: adjust resources, console access, reboots, templates, snapshots and more – depending on the scenario, directly via a central management panel or in close coordination with our team.
In addition, monitoring and alerting concepts can be integrated that fit your setup exactly – from simple system monitoring to complex dashboards and notifications to your team.
Four steps to your high-availability VM platform
Instead of ill-fitting standard packages, we develop the right solution together with you – from the first idea to ongoing operation.
1. Requirements workshop
We talk about applications, user numbers, load profiles, SLA requirements and budget. Based on this information, we outline a suitable HA architecture.
2. Architecture & quote
You receive a concrete recommendation including sizing, backup strategy, an optional second site and a transparent price quote.
3. Implementation & migration
We set up the environment, support test phases and – if desired – the migration of your existing systems to the new platform.
4. Operation & evolution
After go-live, we continue to support you: monitoring, adjustments, growth and new requirements are integrated into the platform together.
Frequently asked questions about high-availability VMs
Here we answer some common questions about the design, technology and economics of our HA solutions. For anything beyond that, it's best to talk in person.
- Option 1 – Veeam DR: replicated backups at the second site, restart there when needed.
- Option 2 – vSAN Metro HA: storage spans both sites, the failure of one site is absorbed without data loss.
- Option 3 – Metro HA + SRM: additionally an orchestrated failover via Site Recovery Manager – with a defined sequence and a testable procedure.
For context: the two sites are around 10 km apart. That is site redundancy – not geo-redundancy in the sense of the German BSI criteria, which recommend considerably greater distances. If your use case requires true geo-redundancy, please tell us and we will plan accordingly.
