Capabilities
- Cluster, storage and network design
- P2V and V2V migration
- Resource governance and capacity planning
- Host hardening and patch strategy
Consolidated compute with predictable capacity and clean failure domains.
Solution
Virtualization & Infrastructure
Hypervisor design, cluster sizing, storage and network layout, plus consolidation and migration of ageing physical estates.
Technologies
Virtualization cluster layout
Compute, storage and network are sized together so failure domains are explicit and capacity is predictable.
-
01
Management
- vCenter / Proxmox UI
- Hyper-V Manager
- Monitoring + alerting
Role-based access, patch baselines and configuration drift control.
-
02
Hypervisor hosts
- VMware ESXi
- Proxmox VE
- Hyper-V
- Citrix Hypervisor
- Oracle VM VirtualBox (lab / test)
Sized for full workload with one host offline for maintenance or failure.
-
03
Storage
- Shared SAN / NAS
- Local NVMe tier
- Snapshot policy
IOPS and latency budgeted per workload class; snapshots are not backups.
-
04
Network
- Management VLAN
- Storage VLAN
- Workload VLANs
Segmented traffic with redundant uplinks and defined MTU.
Frequently asked questions
Is Proxmox a realistic alternative to VMware licensing?
For many workloads yes, provided clustering, shared storage, backup integration and support expectations are tested against your environment first. The comparison is made on your workload, not on licence cost alone.
VMware, Proxmox or Hyper-V?
It depends on licensing budget, existing skills, storage and support expectations. The assessment compares them against your actual workload, not a preference.
Can you migrate physical servers?
Yes. P2V and V2V migrations are performed in windows with verified rollback, after dependency and licensing review.
How much headroom should a cluster have?
Enough to lose one host and still run every production workload, plus growth for the planned lifetime of the hardware.
