What Tuxis does

Tuxis B.V. is a Dutch cloud infrastructure provider headquartered in Ede, Netherlands, founded in 2009 and operating 1-10 employees as a privately held, founder-owned company. It delivers a portfolio of public-cloud and managed private-cloud services built on Proxmox VE virtualization and Ceph software-defined storage, running across three Dutch datacenters and connected via its own autonomous system (AS197731) to AMS-IX. The core product line spans four tiers: a self-service Virtual Private Server (VPS); a Dedicated Proxmox Server (DPS) for fixed-cost exclusive capacity; the Tuxis Corporate Cloud (TCC) — a high-end managed private cloud running real-time across three datacenters; and TCC Edge, which extends TCC to on-premise customer locations. Supporting services include daDup S3/SMB/SFTP bulk storage, colocation, domain registration, web hosting, SSL certificates, Proxmox Backup Server Cloud, and Insights for Proxmox monitoring.

The company monetizes through five revenue streams: subscription public-cloud services (VPS, domains, SSL, web hosting), managed private-cloud subscriptions (TCC, TCC Edge, DPS), colocation rentals, usage-based bulk storage (daDup), and Proxmox VE training delivered through Proxmox Training Partner status. Distribution is hybrid: self-service e-commerce via portal.tuxis.cloud targets SMBs, while consultation-based direct sales handle enterprise TCC contracts. Customer segments are organized vertically across Healthcare, Education, ICT companies, and SMB/MKB in the Netherlands, with select cross-border accounts (notably ZebraHost LLC in the USA using Tuxis as Ede cloud and USA consultants).

Key differentiators are sovereign Dutch data residency (with Germany now available), ISO 27001:2022 certification with NEN 7510 healthcare compliance posture, vendor-agnostic software-defined architecture avoiding VMware-style lock-in, flexible contract terms, and triple-replicated data across three datacenters. Tuxis holds Proxmox Gold, Hosting, and Training Partner statuses and organizes the annual Dutch Proxmox Day. Geographic expansion to Germany began in March 2024 with Proxmox Backup Server, marking the company's first cross-border move beyond the Dutch market.
