Novatech named UK’s first certified Proxmox training partner

Novatech has been designated the UK’s first certified training partner for Proxmox, an open-source virtualization platform. The move aims to help resellers and channel partners build the skills needed to support customers considering open-source virtualization as an alternative to proprietary options like VMware.

What changed

Novatech has earned a formal certification to train others in Proxmox, an open-source virtualization solution that lets organizations run virtual machines and containers on their own hardware. The certification positions Novatech as a key trainer in the UK for channel partners who want to implement Proxmox for customers amid shifts in virtualization strategies and potential renewals of VMware agreements.

Who is affected

The immediate impact is on UK-based resellers and channel partners who work with customers planning to adopt or migrate to Proxmox for virtualization. IT teams and procurement groups evaluating alternatives to proprietary platforms may benefit from certified training to understand deployment, management, and migrations.

Practical next steps

If you are a reseller or partner: consider engaging with Novatech’s Proxmox training to gain certification and build in-house expertise for customer projects. If you are an IT buyer: assess whether your organization would benefit from an open-source virtualization approach and discuss with your procurement or technical teams whether training or pilot deployments are appropriate. Plan for migration and compatibility checks if you are currently relying on a proprietary platform.

Limits and questions

Proxmox is described as open-source software that competes with proprietary platforms like VMware. Details about certification scope, training duration, costs, and certification validity are not provided in the available source. Organizations should verify training specifics with Novatech and consider constraints such as support contracts, integration with existing systems, and the total cost of ownership before committing to a migration plan.
