Proof of concept and test environments: Labs
Room for new questions, experiments and ideas at the intersections of technologies.
Talk about LabsWhat we do
New technologies are best assessed in a protected setting. In the labs we try out ideas, compare tools and record what really holds up. This reduces the risk of later wrong decisions and makes experience usable for you. For anyone facing a technology decision who wants reliable findings first.
- Test environments and proofs of concept →On Proxmox we build isolated test environments where new architectures can be tried without risk before they go into operation.
- Evaluating new tools →We test software against fixed criteria such as security, effort, privacy and operations, and record the results in a traceable way.
- Documenting knowledge from experiments →Findings are recorded as understandable guides and decision bases so they remain reusable.
- Taking ideas from trial to solution →We support what works in the lab through to productive use: with planning, migration and handover.
- AI consulting and strategy →We clarify with you where AI brings value in your company and where it does not: use cases, data protection, risks, rules for staff and a realistic roadmap, vendor-neutral.
- Local AI with Ollama →Language models run on your own hardware, on newly purchased hardware or on GPU cloud servers at Hetzner. We size, install, connect your documents and operate the setup on request.

Proof of concept: when a trial run pays off
A proof of concept (PoC) checks on a small, protected scale whether a solution really works in your environment before you commit. It replaces assumptions with experience.
