DIATEAM announces the launch of the Next Generation Hybrid Cyber Range during InCyber Forum 2026.
Next Generation Hybrid Cyber Range
The year 2025 has been dedicated to designing and testing the new edition of our Hybrid Cyber Range. The year 2026 is about launching this new edition at the state of the art of trusted technologies and innovative features.
Relying on two decades of development of its now well-known Hybrid Cyber Range, DIATEAM has integrated its own experience and customers feedback to build a new edition, in line with our DNA aiming towards an open and trusted ecosystem, while integrating the current best technological bricks:
- Proxmox VE for virtualization and LXC containers,
- Keycloak for Identity and Access Management,
- Docker for Docker containers,
- Fabrics for SDN,
- ZFS over NFS for storage.
Why Proxmox?
Proxmox Virtual Environment (VE) has become one of the most popular open source platforms for virtual machines (VM), containers and clusters management. It offers enterprise-class features, without the high licensing costs of proprietary and commercial platforms, while ensuring flexibility, upgradability and profitability. On top of that, it is an open and maintained solution, which has been developed in Europe (in Vienna, Austria, by Proxmox Server Solutions GmbH company).
What is Proxmox?
Proxmox Virtual Environment (VE) is a powerful open source servers virtualization platform which makes it possible to manage two virtualization technologies: KVM (Kernel-based Virtual Machine) for virtual machines and LXC for containers. Proxmox VE also embeds ready-to-use tools to configure high availability between servers, storage, networking and disaster recovery.
Proxmox VE, which has been used in production by numerous structures for a while, currently sees rapid expansion with very high professional quality features, while remaining open and trusted. This platform supports clustering to ensure upgradability and high availability, while seamlessly integrating with common open source technologies.
What are the benefits?
The main benefits associated with the integration of Proxmox as hypervisor for our Next Gen Hybrid Cyber Range are:
- Open source flexibility with enterprise-class features
Contrary to proprietary virtualization platforms, which lock you up in licenses, Proxmox VE offers enterprise-class virtualization with no licensing costs and no dependency on a provider. It unlocks the freedom to let clusters evolve, to configure storage and to deploy virtual machines without any restrictive contract. - Unified virtual machines and containers management
- Simplified clustering
Proxmox clustering makes it possible for companies to let their infrastructure evolve on several nodes. Thanks to centralized management, load balancing and failover capabilities, clusters ensure continuous availability of services.
- High availability (HA)
Proxmox VE includes integrated HA clustering, making sure that the services remain online even in case of a node failure. - Advanced network and security
Proxmox supports software-defined networking (SDN), firewalls and ready-to-use VPN configurations. These features simplify worloads isolation, security policies implementation and multi-tenant environments support. - API-based automation
Proxmox offers a REST API and online command tools that simplify automation, and it is in fact the API we use in our central backend, developed in Golang.
- Cost optimization
Building on open source virtualization and software-defined storage, DIATEAM makes it possible to avoid costly proprietary licensing models and to offer a very economic Next Gen Hybrid Cyber Range, whether on premise or as a service, in the cloud (SaaS). - Community and development
Finally, Proxmox VE relies on an active community and continuous development, ensuring regular updates, optimized performance and compatibility with current technologies.
In a nutshell, Proxmox Virtual Environment (VE) is a comprehensive, economic and effective solution to build a new generation of Hybrid Cyber Range: modern, reliable, open and trusted, sustainable. It is a choice made for two years already by DIATEAM, always a pioneer and innovating in the Cyber Range sector.
