# Three rack servers for a Proxmox VE cluster at Fraunhofer FOKUS

Fraunhofer FOKUS plans to acquire three uniformly configured, high-performance and expandable rack servers as nodes for an on-premises Proxmox VE virtualization environment. The systems are intended to host new virtualized workloads and gradually take over suitable systems currently running on VMware. The stated objectives include ample computing and memory capacity, redundant power, extensive network connectivity, remote management and manufacturer service for research projects. The open procurement closes on 26 October 2026. No value or award information is present in the notice.
