Infrastructure 06.1 — Virtualisation

Proxmox VE — your own virtualisation platform

From a single physical server to a full cluster. I deploy Proxmox VE, run every service on it, and give you what the cloud usually charges for — full control.

Proxmox VE / capabilities

What it covers

VMs, LXC containers, live migration, high availability and centralised management from one web panel.

Cluster build

Two or more nodes, corosync, quorum and live migration — one node going down does not stop the service.

VMs and LXC

A VM where full isolation matters, an LXC container where resources do. We choose per workload.

Storage: ZFS and Ceph

ZFS with snapshots for a single node, Ceph for distributed storage — smarter than plain RAID.

High availability

HA groups and automatic failover — a node drops, the VM comes up elsewhere.

Server selection

Before you buy, I size CPU, RAM, disks and NICs against the real workload — without overspending.

System installation

Linux, Windows Server, databases and containers — installed, tuned and documented.

process

How the process runs

  1. 01

    Audit

    What services you run today, what eats resources and what is at risk.

  2. 02

    Design

    Node count, storage type, network diagram and budget — in writing.

  3. 03

    Build

    Installation, clustering, VM migration and testing under real load.

  4. 04

    Operate

    Updates, monitoring, backups and documentation that stays current.

cases

Examples

Cluster

Two-node cluster for an office

Shared storage, live migration and HA — one server going down goes unnoticed.

Migration

From old physical servers

Five separate machines onto one platform — less noise, less power, one backup.

faq

Common questions

Can old hardware be reused?

Often yes. Proxmox runs well on 5–7 year old servers; I assess each one individually.

Is there a licence fee?

Proxmox VE itself is free. Only the enterprise repository and support are paid — optional.

What happens when a node fails?

With HA configured, the VM comes up on the second node automatically — within 1–2 minutes.

Need your own virtualisation?

I will prepare a design and a realistic hardware budget — before you buy.
