Proxmox Design & Deployment

Reference architectures, cluster sizing, storage and network design tailored to your workloads — built to last, not built to impress on a slide.

Every business has different infrastructure needs — whether you're an SME, a cloud service provider, or an MSP building a private cloud offering. Our design and deployment service starts with your workloads, your team, and your operating model — not a vendor's reference architecture.

We produce a signed-off design before a single cable is run, and we build to that design. You end up with a Proxmox VE estate that is yours, well-documented, and free of vendor lock-in.

What's included

Discovery & current-state assessment

VM inventory, resource profiling, existing network and storage topology, team capability, and operating model.

Cluster sizing & compute architecture

Node count, CPU/RAM sizing, HA quorum strategy, fencing design, and high-availability configuration.

Storage design

Ceph RBD/CephFS, ZFS (local and replicated), NFS, iSCSI — the right backend for each workload class.

Network & SDN design

VLAN segmentation, VXLAN overlays, BGP-EVPN, bonding/LACP, and Proxmox SDN configuration.

Proxmox Backup Server design

Backup repository layout, retention policies, encryption, offsite replication, and restore validation.

Documentation & runbooks

As-built docs, day-2 operational runbooks, and acceptance testing criteria — delivered at handover.

How we deliver it

1

Scoped design engagement

We run a structured discovery — whiteboard sessions, environment review, capacity modelling — and produce a detailed design document. You review and sign off before implementation starts.

2

Implementation

Build and configuration by our engineers, or by your team with our hands-on support. Either way, we track against the accepted design and document deviations.

3

Validation & handover

Structured acceptance testing, a knowledge transfer session with your team, and a fully documented as-built environment. You own everything — no lock-in to us.
