AVT Infra Control Center for Proxmox VE is one of Avesta’s products designed to manage infrastructures running on Proxmox VE. The system is built with Infrastructure-as-a-Code (IaaC) technology and serves as a self-service web portal to significantly reduce administrators’ workloads. It provides role-based access for different users, covering operations such as provisioning, backup, monitoring, and networking. The system can be installed in both traditional and container-based environments.
Operating under the Concept of Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)
AVT Infra Control Center for Proxmox VE brings the concept of Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) into your organization — a cloud service model that delivers IT infrastructure on demand.
It enables your internal teams or business units to easily provision and manage IT resources through a self-service portal, reducing the dependency on system administrators.
Through this system, users can independently access and deploy essential infrastructure components such as:
-
Virtual Machines (Servers)
-
Storage Systems
-
Networking
-
Firewall, Load Balancer, and more
With the convenience of managing the entire infrastructure through the internet and an easy to use interface whether via web browser or mobile device organizations are increasingly adopting such technologies to simplify and streamline their infrastructure management. This approach minimizes the need for direct involvement from IT staff, allowing users to manage systems more independently, efficiently, and conveniently.
Some Key Features of AVT Infra Control Center
- Catalog system : The Catalog system is responsible for collecting and managing resources such as templates, ISO files, images, and scripts for use in creating new Virtual Machines (VMs) or instances.

2. Deployments : The Deployments module serves as a dashboard or interface that displays resources that have been created and are currently in use, such as Virtual Machines (VMs), Containers, Applications, or other workloads.

3. Role Usage (RBAC): With Role-Based Access Control (RBAC), administrators can assign user access based on roles and responsibilities rather than being tied to individual usernames.

4. Integration with Identity & Access Management (IAM): The system can connect to existing Identity Servers and Access Management systems, simplifying permission management and authentication. Since most enterprise customers already have an Identity Server, there is no need to change the current authentication method.
5. Project Management: By creating relationships between Catalog and Project, the system provides flexibility in assigning resources and managing projects, allowing teams to operate independently within defined boundaries.
6. Quota Management: Quota allows administrators to define resource limits for individual users or groups, such as vCPU, RAM, and VLANs, ensuring that each user or project can only consume resources within their allocated limits.
7. Notification System: The notification system alerts users to various events within the system, reducing risks of exceeding resource limits or unnoticed system issues, such as approaching quota thresholds.
8. Reporting & Auditing: The system provides reporting and auditing capabilities, showing a detailed history of operations for monitoring and verification purposes.
