DEDICATED NODES

Dedicated infrastructure in Spain, with the flexibility of the cloud

Resources reserved exclusively for you on dedicated hardware, running the virtualization layer of your choice. No noisy neighbors, with a fixed monthly cost, and a technical team that answers the phone in Spanish.

Choosing infrastructure has become an uncomfortable decision

On-premises equipment

forces you to refresh hardware every few years and maintain server rooms, power, and cooling.

Shared clouds

bill for items missing from the initial budget, and extracting data is the most expensive part.

Virtualization licensing

changes have left many teams recalculating if their current setup is still profitable.

The Aire Alternative:[cite: 2] A dedicated infrastructure you can actually budget for[cite: 2]

We provide nodes with resources reserved strictly for you, and you decide which virtualization to deploy on top[cite: 2]. No overbooking, no sharing, and a bill that remains identical every month[cite: 2].

Exclusively reserved resources[cite: 2] Processor, memory, storage, and networking solely for your project[cite: 2].

Moving from VMware to Proxmox, fully supported and risk-free

Since VMware’s licensing changes, many teams are exploring alternatives for the first time in years. Proxmox is the best fit for our infrastructure, primarily because licensing costs drop significantly, and you do not need to dive in blindly.

  • We evaluate your current environment and tell you what fits and what doesn’t before moving anything.
  • Pilot testing on live infrastructure, so you see it running before deciding.
  • Centralized storage in active-active synchronous mode, with zero data-loss window.
  • If you prefer to stay on VMware, we can also deploy it, billed under separate licensing.

What lies beneath your infrastructure

General purpose

Verifiable reliability

Every infrastructure component is duplicated: power, cooling, network electronics, node access, storage, and the nodes themselves. Redundancy is not a catalog option; it comes standard.

General purpose

Support that actually answers the phone

24/7/365, in Spanish, speaking with someone who understands your infrastructure. No bouncing ticket systems and no Tier 1 support asking you to reboot before escalating.

General purpose

An unmoving bill

Reserved resources with a fixed monthly price. No data egress fees, no charges for moving information between zones, and no end-of-month surprises.

General purpose

High availability across data centers

Replication between our two Madrid regions, connected by our proprietary fiber ring with sub-millisecond latency, and synchronous storage for workloads that cannot afford downtime

General purpose

Free standby nodes

We keep a pool of spare nodes at your disposal free of charge, so you can fully utilize your resources without sacrificing high availability.

General purpose

Technical transparency

We tell you exactly what hardware your applications run on and where your environment is physically located. No black boxes.

Use cases

Dedicated infrastructure pays off when workloads are constant, when performance must be predictable, or when there is a control requirement that shared clouds cannot meet.

No commitment required, and no need to grant us access to anything.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Private Cloud Frequently Asked Questions

Can I build infrastructure for my clients under my own brand?

Yes. Dedicated hardware is delivered as a white-label solution, so your client sees your brand, and we do not appear in the commercial relationship. You choose the virtualization and management layers, and we provide the hardware, networking, storage, and Tier 2 technical support.

A cloud environment where computing resources are exclusively dedicated to a single organization. It is similar to having your own data center, but leveraging cloud benefits without buying, maintaining, or refreshing hardware.

A dedicated server is just a single machine. A private cloud is a complete platform built on dedicated machines, featuring centralized storage, redundant networking, high availability across data centers, and the ability to spin virtual machines up and down on top of it. You get the isolation of dedicated hardware combined with the flexibility of virtualization.

Yes, and it is the option that best fits our infrastructure, mainly because licensing costs are much lower. VMware is still available, with its licensing billed separately. We work with open standards precisely so your choice does not lock you in.

In a public cloud, you share an infrastructure divided among multiple clients, you pay-as-you-go, and you deploy in minutes. In a private cloud, the resources are exclusively yours, and the cost is a fixed monthly fee. Public cloud suits workloads that spike and drop; private cloud suits constant, demanding workloads and projects requiring control over the virtualization layer.

It means data is written simultaneously in both data centers, so if one goes down, no information is lost and there is a zero data-loss recovery window. This is the setup for workloads that cannot afford to stop, made possible because our two Madrid regions are linked by our proprietary fiber ring with sub-millisecond latency.

In Aire’s proprietary data centers, within the European Union, and subject to its data protection regulations. You choose the location upon contracting, and the data never leaves.

24/7/365, in Spanish and over the phone, speaking with someone who understands your infrastructure. It is not a ticketing system or a community forum.

Nodes are added to your infrastructure without redesigning what you already have. We maintain a pool of spare nodes at no extra cost precisely so that scaling up does not depend on hardware purchasing lead times.

Yes, from VMware environments, on-premises hardware, public cloud, or Proxmox. The process includes a preliminary evaluation, source and destination preparation, and testing prior to the final cutover, which can be repeated as many times as necessary.

No. You can administer the entire platform yourself. If you prefer to delegate operations, our team can handle it in a delegated or shared model, but always as an option and never as a requirement.
