The web agency based in Treviso has completed the migration of its virtual infrastructure in less than a month with the support of Proxmox Gold Partner Seeweb.
Emmecubo, a company specializing in e-commerce solutions and web development, has successfully completed the full migration of its infrastructure from VMware to Proxmox VE, the open-source virtualization environment. The switch, prompted by the rising costs of VMware licenses, was completed in less than a month, with no interruptions to its services and a positive impact on both flexibility and cost savings.
Founded in 2004, Emmecubo had been managing its digital services on 30 virtual machines running on VMware. In light of the platform’s change in pricing policy, the Italian company decided to seek a more cost-effective and sustainable alternative. The choice was Proxmox VE, along with Proxmox Backup Server, both backed by official subscriptions granting access to the enterprise repository and direct support from the developers.
Migration without downtime and with local support
Throughout the process, the agency was backed by the cloud provider Seeweb, a Gold Partner of Proxmox, which provided key expertise in security, updates, and performance diagnostics. Emmecubo was responsible for recreating the virtual machines in the new environment, updating the nodes, and maintaining routine administration tasks, all without affecting the availability of its services.
“The greatest benefit, beyond cost optimization, has been the flexibility and the ability to collaborate closely with Seeweb in developing customized automations for the infrastructure,” noted Massimo Tito, CEO and co-founder of Emmecubo.
Visible results: lower costs, greater agility
The migration has allowed Emmecubo to significantly improve the use of its CPU and memory resources, as well as integrate advanced features such as high availability (HA), more efficient backup management, and selective file restoration from backups. The company emphasizes that it can now create new virtual machines in less time and allocate more resources to its infrastructure thanks to the substantial savings in virtualization licenses.
Additionally, the integration of Proxmox Backup Server has enhanced data control, enabling more agile recovery strategies and granularity in restoration.
A long-term strategic decision
Emmecubo provides services to companies worldwide, with a strong presence in Italy, Canada, Mexico, the United States, France, Germany, Lithuania, and the United Kingdom. Its areas of expertise include implementing online stores with WooCommerce and Magento, developing applications related to artificial intelligence, graphic design, and consulting on GDPR compliance.
The company now considers virtualization based on Proxmox VE a central component of its long-term IT strategy and plans to expand its use in future projects.
Seeweb, for its part, will continue to support Emmecubo beyond this initial phase, offering services for optimization and performance improvement. The company operates multiple data centers in Italy and is known for providing public and private cloud solutions powered by 100% green energy, complying with European regulations on data protection and sustainability.
