How to choose: answering the main questions
Is one server for the whole school realistic?
Yes: an electronic journal, Moodle, file sharing, and a domain controller can easily share a single server with 12+ cores and 64 GB of RAM in separate VMs. The key is external backups and a UPS.
For a university IT department?
Virtual machine cluster for students: each gets their own lab. A dual-processor node with 256 GB can host 60–100 educational VMs; Proxmox is free, which is important for the budget.
Procuring via tender?
We prepare neutral technical specifications, meet fiscal year deadlines, and provide a full document package. Our technical specification generator helps deputy heads and vice-rectors formulate requirements correctly.
