What is server virtualization, in brief
Server virtualization lets you run multiple virtual servers on a single physical machine, with Proxmox or VMware: less hardware to buy and maintain, more flexibility and continuity if something goes wrong.
- Consolidation of multiple physical servers into a single infrastructure
- Migration without stopping your business's operations
- Simpler backup and recovery with snapshots and automatic copies
02 / Who we work with
A virtualization project tailored to every business
A handful of workstations or a network spread across multiple sites: we size the project to your business's real needs.
- SMEs and small businesses
- Startups
- Professional practices
- Digital agencies
- Manufacturing companies
03 / Physical or virtual
Physical server or virtual server: which to choose
It isn't a forced choice: many businesses use a mix of both. Here's when each one makes sense.
Physical server
- Ideal for heavy, dedicated workloads
- No resource sharing with other machines
- Useful for quick tests or temporary needs (rental)
Virtual server
- More flexibility: resources allocated and resized on the fly
- Lower operating costs, less hardware to maintain
- Snapshots, backup and fast recovery in the event of a failure

How quickly we take charge of your request
Just like in our VirtualAssistance support contract model, the response time is selectable based on how critical your systems are: the shorter it is, the higher the priority.
| Response SLA | Best suited for |
|---|---|
| 3 hours | Critical servers and services that cannot afford downtime |
| 8 hours | Workstations and services with a significant operational impact |
| 12 hours | Relevant requests that can be handled within the working day |
| 24 hours | Routine requests and activities that can be scheduled |
It's the same selectable SLA model used in our IT support contracts: we define it together based on your systems, with no hidden costs.
Not sure which SLA level is right for you? We analyse your infrastructure for free and help you choose the SLA that best fits your company, with no obligation.

Need to consolidate your company's IT infrastructure, or looking for a reliable partner for server virtualization in Milan? TN Solutions designs and builds virtualized infrastructure on Proxmox and VMware, for businesses that want to move from underused physical servers to a more efficient, flexible and secure virtual environment. Where it helps, we also offer preconfigured physical server rental, ideal for anyone who needs extra capacity without an immediate hardware investment.
How server virtualization works with Proxmox and VMware
A hypervisor (Proxmox VE or VMware ESXi/vSphere) runs directly on a physical server and allows multiple independent virtual machines to coexist on the same hardware, each with its own operating system, allocated resources and isolation. The result is less physical hardware to buy and maintain, for the same level of service delivered.
At TN Solutions we manage the entire project lifecycle: assessment of the existing infrastructure, resource sizing (CPU, RAM, storage), migration of virtual machines without stopping business operations, and go-live with failover testing.
When it makes sense to virtualize your company's servers
Virtualization isn't the right choice for every scenario, but it becomes a strategic lever in situations that are very common among SMEs:
- Underused physical servers: multiple machines running at a fraction of their real capacity.
- End-of-life hardware: ageing servers due for replacement, an opportunity to consolidate rather than buy one-to-one.
- Need for operational continuity: snapshots and failover reduce downtime in the event of a fault.
- Test environments kept separate from production: quick clones of virtual machines without dedicated hardware.
- Fixed-term projects or variable workloads: here, renting a preconfigured physical server can be more cost-effective than buying one.
What our server virtualization service in Milan includes
We work on multi-brand physical servers (HP, Dell, Lenovo, Fujitsu, Acer) and on VMware, Proxmox and Microsoft Hyper-V virtual environments, on-site in Milan and the surrounding province or remotely across the rest of Lombardy. The service covers the entire infrastructure lifecycle:
- Installation, configuration and updates of the hypervisor and virtual machines.
- Migration from physical servers or other virtualization platforms, without service downtime.
- Backup and disaster recovery with Veeam and Acronis, RAID management and data retention off-site.
- Corporate LAN and Wi-Fi networks, firewalls, VPN and Active Directory integration.
- Continuous monitoring and support, with direct human assistance — never handed off to a chatbot.
Server virtualization across the region: Milan, Bergamo, Brescia, Monza
Our technical base is in Milan and its province, where we also work on-site for surveys and complex migrations. We support businesses across all of Lombardy, though — Bergamo, Brescia, Monza and the surrounding municipalities — with remote assistance and scheduled visits whenever an on-site presence is needed.
Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between a physical server and a virtual server?
A physical server is a dedicated machine, useful for heavy workloads or specific needs that require all the available hardware resources. A virtual server runs on a shared host through a hypervisor and offers more flexibility, scalability and lower operating costs. In practice, many businesses combine the two approaches in a hybrid infrastructure.
When does it make sense to rent a physical server instead of virtualizing it?
Rental is ideal for temporary projects, test environments, events, or to avoid an upfront hardware investment when requirements aren't yet fully defined. We offer physical servers for rent in Milan with custom configuration and systems support included, even as a bridge solution before a full virtualization project.
Is Proxmox or VMware better for virtualization?
It depends on business needs. VMware is an established solution with advanced commercial support, particularly suited to large infrastructures or mission-critical environments. Proxmox, being open source, is more affordable and flexible, ideal for SMEs looking for virtualization and containers on a single platform. When in doubt, we always start with a free assessment of the actual workloads before recommending a platform.
How long does a migration to a virtualized infrastructure take?
It varies depending on the number of servers involved, the complexity of the applications and the operational continuity constraints: a consolidation project on a few machines might take a few days, a more complex environment several weeks. We always agree on timing and phases with a shared plan before starting, so you know what to expect in advance.
What happens to my data during the migration?
Before every migration we run a full backup of the starting environment and plan a rollback strategy, so your data stays protected even if something unexpected happens. The move to the new infrastructure is tested before the final cut-over, to minimise risk and downtime.
