One control plane for your private cloud

Everything you need to run Proxmox as a private cloud, in one place.

The hypervisor is the easy part

Virtualisation costs changed; the tooling didn’t.

What’s missing when you leave VMware: tenancy, policy, billing data and day-2 workflows. VMease is that layer.

How it fits together

VMease architectureThree VMease layers: a unified web console, a unified RESTful API, and an orchestration and automation engine, sitting above four capability areas: infrastructure and workloads built on Proxmox VE, observability and metrics built on Graphite, networking and security built on VyOS, and service management and control provided by VMease, including multi-tenancy, identity and access, resource quotas, metering and billing, replication and AI-assisted operations.VMease architectureThree VMease layers: a unified web console, a unified RESTful API, and an orchestration and automation engine, sitting above four capability areas: infrastructure and workloads built on Proxmox VE, observability and metrics built on Graphite, networking and security built on VyOS, and service management and control provided by VMease, including multi-tenancy, identity and access, resource quotas, metering and billing, replication and AI-assisted operations.

The console and the API share one engine, so the same policies apply whichever you use. Read the architecture overview

What it covers

How it works

  1. Step 1: Onboard your clusters

    Discover hosts and map network, storage and compute.

  2. Step 2: Set your policies

    Tags and resource groups decide backup, replication, placement and quotas.

  3. Step 3: Hand over self-service

    Tenants get scoped accounts and access; you keep control.

  4. Step 4: Let it run

    VMease patches in stages with checks, tests restores and finds root causes. Fixes wait for your approval.

Common questions

Is VMease a hypervisor?

No. It manages Proxmox VE, which stays open source and unmodified, and adds multi-tenancy, automation and a commercial model.

How is it different from a Proxmox panel?

A panel shows customers their own VMs. VMease runs the whole platform: tenancy and delegated admin, tag-driven automation, networks, firewalls, backup, replication, quotas, billing data and an operations centre.

Does VMease replace VMware?

It replaces VMware’s management and commercial layer, on open virtualisation. Teams leaving vSphere, VCF or VVF keep tenancy, self-service, chargeback and day-2 automation.

Can service providers bill through it?

Yes. Billing comes from running state and resource use, so it reflects what actually ran. Quotas and fair use live in the same system.

Where does it run?

On infrastructure you own or lease, in your jurisdiction. Not a public cloud: VMease doesn’t host or run it, and never holds your workloads or data.

Can we try it without building a lab?

Yes. The free 30 day trial runs in your browser, with nothing to install. A demo on a running platform comes next.
