Why it's worth it

Why it's worth handing this to us

Virtualization isn't automatic HA
Quorum, storage, backup and network must be designed.
Migration from VMware
We move VMs with tests and a maintenance window.
Backup and restore tests
Copies actually restored, not just made.
In every package

The standard you don't pay extra for

Backup and restore
24h backup by default, 1h backup and PITR optional, restore on demand and recovery tests.
Monitoring and alerts
Metrics, logs and alerts matched to your risk — you know about an issue before a customer reports it.
Security and access
SSL/TLS, access restrictions, RBAC, hardening and private networks and VPN.
Deployments and updates
GitOps, Helm, CI/CD, maintenance windows and prepared rollback procedures.
Locations PL / FR / DE / USA
We pick the region for latency, cost and EU compliance.
Documentation and care
Environment description, runbook, emergency procedures and contact with a technical person.
Managed vs in-house

Why managed costs less than an in-house hire

A single in-house specialist rarely covers 24/7, backup, monitoring and SLA at once. Here's a realistic comparison.

Your own specialist (in-house)
One salary = one person
A senior admin/DevOps is a full employer cost of ~18–25k zł/mo — and it's still just one person.
Available 8–16
Working hours, holidays, sick leave and weekends. A night outage waits until morning.
Backup on their shoulders
Separate tooling and storage cost; restore tests often skipped.
No formal SLA
No one guarantees response time; knowledge sits in one head (bus factor).
Tools and training
Monitoring, licenses, certs and training add to the salary.
VITAL CLOUD Managed
A 24/7 team
Many people, on-call and procedures. Someone's there even when your admin sleeps.
SLA in writing
An agreed response time per package, not goodwill.
Backup in 3 locations
Copies in three places, with validation and deduplication, and restore tests.
Service monitoring included
Alerts before a customer reports it; automatic service recovery after a failure.
Auto-provisioning
We start services automatically and repeatably (GitOps/IaC).

Illustrative comparison. Amounts depend on market and scale — but even one in-house senior rarely replaces a team, backup in 3 places, monitoring and an SLA at once.See how much you'd save

FAQ

Does a VMware → Proxmox migration mean downtime?
We work to minimize downtime through preparation and tests before the cutover window — we agree the exact time before migrating.
What about Windows guest OS licenses?
Guest OS licenses stay yours — we migrate the virtual machines themselves, we don't change their licensing.
