Take Control of Your Cloud Costs with Cloud Repatriation
Looking to escape out‑of‑control public cloud costs, vendor lock‑in or unpredictable performance? Cloud repatriation helps you bring workloads home from AWS, Azure or GCP into your own Proxmox‑powered private or hybrid cloud.
With Proxmox VE you gain an open source platform that delivers strong security, cost predictability and full sovereignty over your infrastructure. In 2025, organisations are increasingly choosing to repatriate critical workloads to recalibrate for resilience, cost efficiency and performance at scale 1.
At Instelligence, we specialise in designing and executing tailored cloud repatriation projects. From upfront assessment to secure migration and ongoing managed support, we help Australian businesses save money, improve performance and regain control without vendor lock‑in or public cloud surprises.
How Proxmox Powers Successful Cloud Repatriation
Cost Savings and Predictable Pricing
Public cloud started as a way to save money, but for many businesses it’s now doing the opposite. Between unpredictable billing, expensive storage tiers and hidden egress charges, costs can quickly get out of hand.
By repatriating workloads into your own Proxmox-based infrastructure, you gain full visibility and control over spend. You’re no longer billed for every CPU cycle or gigabyte transferred. You decide the hardware, the architecture and the strategy. Whether hosted in a data centre or on-prem, Proxmox lets you build an efficient private cloud that you can scale and operate on your terms.
Security, Compliance and Data Sovereignty
If your workloads involve sensitive or regulated data, public cloud isn’t always the best fit. Concerns around data residency, audit transparency and reliance on foreign-owned infrastructure are growing.
Cloud repatriation puts your environment back under your control. With Proxmox, you can build high-trust infrastructure that aligns with Australian data sovereignty requirements and industry compliance standards (like Essential 8), without compromising flexibility or performance.
Infrastructure You Actually Own
Cloud repatriation is about more than cost. It’s about ownership. In the public cloud, you’re renting access to someone else’s infrastructure under their terms. With Proxmox, you’re building infrastructure that belongs to you, is shaped by your needs, and can evolve as your business grows.
Whether it’s in a data centre, a server room or a remote site, repatriation gives you full control, long-term stability and freedom from predatory licensing models.
Our Approach to Cloud Repatriation
Cloud Assessment & Planning
We start with a comprehensive assessment of your current cloud usage. This includes identifying workloads that are most suitable for repatriation, analysing cost implications, and understanding any potential risks or complexities involved. Our assessment focuses on ensuring that repatriation makes sense from both a business and technical perspective.
Designing Your On-Premises Environment
Our preferred platform for cloud repatriation is Proxmox VE. an open-source virtualisation solution that delivers the flexibility and control that modern businesses need. Whether it’s a standardised private cloud for internal use or a customised hybrid cloud, we design an infrastructure tailored specifically to your requirements.
- Standardised or Customised Solutions: We can offer standardised deployments that minimise cost and complexity or customised solutions designed to meet specific requirements.
- Open-Source Expertise: By leveraging Proxmox, we help you benefit from an open-source ecosystem that reduces licensing costs and empowers your IT team with full control over your infrastructure.
Migration Execution
We handle the entire migration process, from planning to execution. Our experts work closely with your team to ensure minimal downtime and no data loss during the migration. Our goal is to provide a seamless transition from the public cloud to your new on-premises or hybrid setup.
Optimisation & Ongoing Support
After migrating your workloads, we optimise your new environment for peak performance. Our ongoing support services include proactive monitoring, resource optimisation, and system updates, ensuring that your infrastructure continues to deliver value long after the migration is complete.
Who Can Benefit from Cloud Repatriation?
Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs)
For SMEs, cloud repatriation offers an opportunity to regain control over escalating cloud costs and establish a predictable IT budget. By bringing workloads on-premises, SMEs can also address concerns over data sovereignty and compliance.
CSPs and MSPs
For Cloud Service Providers (CSPs) and Managed Service Providers (MSPs), repatriating workloads can offer a significant advantage in optimising service delivery. A customised on-premises infrastructure allows CSPs and MSPs to deliver more consistent performance to their customers while maintaining control over operational costs.
