Virtualization of hardware, software and networks
Even in the age of cloud computing and high-speed Internet connections, having their own server and storage resources remains essential for many organizations, whether in their own data centers or with a trusted hosting provider. Virtualization creates the basis for efficient resource utilization, high availability, and cost-effective operation.
SerNet relies on proven and future-proof platforms for virtualization and backup. With Microsoft Hyper-V and Veeam Backup & Replication, we support established solutions for stable infrastructures. At the same time, we offer powerful open-source alternatives with Proxmox Virtual Environment (PVE) and Proxmox Backup Server (PBS) – especially for organizations that value digital sovereignty and long-term independence.
As a certified Fujitsu partner, SerNet also provides the appropriate hardware basis, with a particular focus on critical infrastructure environments such as hospitals and energy suppliers, where stability, performance, and operational reliability are top priorities.
Hyper-V
Hyper-V is a well-proven hypervisor from Microsoft that, despite its age, continues to be actively maintained and technically modernized. Even though Microsoft – similar to Exchange – is increasingly prioritizing cloud offerings, Hyper-V remains a stable building block for many existing IT environments.
The large installed base will remain relevant for a long time to come. Hyper-V offers a reliable solution for companies that rely on existing Windows infrastructures, especially if the focus is on integration, consistency, and investment protection.
SerNet supports you with its many years of experience as a certified partner of Microsoft and Fujitsu. From planning to operation, we know the platform from numerous projects and support you with maintenance, further development, or long-term replacement.
Your advantages with Hyper-V and SerNet:
- Seamless integration into Windows environments
- Stable operation even in mature infrastructures
- Live migration, cluster options, and container support
- Support from experienced technicians and direct manufacturer contacts
- Planning of alternatives (e.g., Proxmox VE) for strategic realignment
Hyper-V remains relevant for many scenarios. SerNet ensures that your systems remain secure, supported, and future-proof. Our sales team will be happy to advise you!

Data backup
Backup software from Veeam meets all requirements for secure backup. Special solutions are used for different application scenarios. Costs and technical framework conditions can be planned very well and future-proof.
Even if you have switched to Microsoft 365, you should know that the provider does not guarantee data backup - you have to take care of the backup yourself. SerNet recommends Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 for this purpose.
Cloud Technology: Container
With its roots in the Linux environment and preference for open source software, SerNet also offers expertise in cloud infrastructures, especially in the area of container technology. Following on from the virtualization of complete server systems (e.g., with Proxmox or Hyper-V), individual application environments are virtualized in modern cloud environments, e.g., in Docker or Kubernetes containers. This offers advantages both in terms of provisioning for installation and operation in highly scaled environments.
SerNet itself is a provider of Software as a Service (SAAS) based on Kubernetes containers: The successor to the most widely used free ISMS software verinice is the new version verinice. veo, which is offered in SerNet's public cloud.
VMware under Broadcom – SerNet focuses on alternatives
Following Broadcom's acquisition of VMware, the situation for partners and customers has changed significantly, often at the expense of transparency and predictability.
SerNet has therefore decided to gradually discontinue sales and project business with VMware. Support for existing installations will of course continue to be provided under ongoing support and maintenance contracts.
SerNet is refocusing its efforts on new projects in the field of virtualization:
- Hyper-V will remain part of the offering as an established platform for Windows-centric environments.
- Since 2025 Proxmox VE is part of the portfolio – a powerful, open-source alternative that is ideal for anyone who values digital sovereignty and independence.
