Modern Next GmbH is an enterprise IT service provider based in Westerstede, Germany. Its focus is not a single developer tool, but open-source infrastructure built around Proxmox VE, Ceph, Proxmox Backup Server, network security, and managed operations. The website states that it is an official Proxmox Partner, serving mid-sized companies, government, healthcare, industrial, and energy-sector organizations.
Its capability stack is fairly comprehensive. On the virtualization side, it offers Proxmox cluster design, HA, Live Migration, and migrations from VMware/Hyper-V. On the storage side, it covers Ceph. For backup, it emphasizes immutable backups, the 3-2-1-1 strategy, WORM, and recovery drills. For operations, it provides 24/7 Monitoring, Helpdesk, Patch Management, SLA, monthly reports, and Runbooks. Security services include Pentest, Hardening, SIEM, Wazuh, Awareness, plus hardening related to NIS2/KRITIS and BSI requirements. For automation, it mentions Ansible, Terraform, and Git-versioned IaC. Its ecosystem also includes OPNsense, Nextcloud, Vaultwarden, Jitsi, Zabbix, Prometheus, and more.
Pricing is not public. The text states that clearly scoped installations and migrations can be offered at a fixed price, while consulting and small tasks are billed by daily rate. Managed Service uses a monthly Retainer model. Full IT Service is divided into Basis, Standard, and Premium SLA tiers, but these require separate negotiation and written agreement. Its process consists of four stages: analysis, concept, implementation, and operations, emphasizing analysis before quoting.
The strengths are clear positioning, an emphasis on open source, no lock-in, and German data sovereignty. Deployments can be made in the customer’s own data center or in German Housing, and the service scope is broad, covering hardware, networking, backup, and security response. The drawbacks are that it is not a self-service SaaS or SDK product, and instead depends more on manual consulting and integration delivery. Public pricing is missing, case studies are mostly anonymous, and the service is clearly oriented toward the German local market, so cross-border implementation may face communication, time-zone, and on-site service limitations.
It is suitable for organizations that want to move from VMware to Proxmox, build private virtualization/backup/security systems, and value EU data compliance. For Chinese users simply looking for developer tools or a cloud-based DevOps platform, it is not the first choice. It is a better fit for companies with a branch office or data center in Germany. The text does not provide information about website access from China, and payment methods are not disclosed. Alternatives could include local Proxmox integrators, private cloud service providers, or official Proxmox ecosystem partners.
