Worldwide Proxmox VE Training from a Proxmox Gold Partner

croit provides instructor-led Proxmox VE training for teams worldwide. As a Proxmox Gold Partner and Training Partner, we help administrators and infrastructure teams deploy, manage and troubleshoot production Proxmox VE environments. The course covers single-server deployments, clustering, shared storage, Ceph, SDN, high availability, backup, migration and operational best practices in a hands-on virtual lab.

TRAINER

Our trainers work with real Proxmox VE, Linux, clustering, networking and storage environments. The sessions are practical and based on enterprise deployments, including common issues around migration, shared storage, Ceph, high availability and troubleshooting.

MATERIALS PROVIDED

• Digital documentation.
