Find the weak points
before they become
downtime.
The HSVE Proxmox Infrastructure Health Check is a structured technical review for organisations already running Proxmox VE. We examine resilience, storage, networking, backups, capacity and operational risk, then turn the findings into a written, prioritised improvement plan your team can actually use.
What we review.
The exact checks depend on how your environment is built. The goal is to understand whether the platform is fit for its intended workload and where operational risk is concentrated.
Cluster & resilience
Review node membership, quorum assumptions, HA configuration, failure domains and obvious single points of failure around the Proxmox estate.
Compute & capacity
Look at CPU, memory and host utilisation, allocation patterns, overcommit assumptions and whether current capacity leaves sensible operational headroom.
Storage
Review storage architecture, pool configuration, redundancy assumptions, latency or capacity concerns and how storage choices affect VM availability.
Networking
Review bridges, bonds, VLAN layout, management access and network dependencies that could make maintenance, failover or troubleshooting harder than expected.
Backup & recovery
Review backup coverage, schedules, retention, failed jobs and evidence of restore testing. Recovery capability is assessed separately from simply having backup jobs configured.
Lifecycle & operations
Review version posture, upgrade planning, recurring alerts, documentation gaps and operational practices that can turn routine maintenance into avoidable risk.
You leave with something useful.
The Health Check is designed to produce a decision document, not just a consulting conversation. Recommendations can be implemented by HSVE, your internal team or another provider.
A contained review with a clear end point.
Useful when you need clarity, not a badge.
- Proxmox is already carrying production or business-relevant workloads.
- The environment has grown organically and you want an independent technical review.
- You inherited a cluster or are unsure whether resilience, storage or backup assumptions are sound.
- You want evidence before committing to upgrades, expansion or an ongoing support arrangement.
- It is not a penetration test, security certification or compliance audit.
- Production changes are not included by default; remediation is separately scoped after findings are agreed.
- A successful backup job is not treated as proof of recoverability. Restore testing is only performed when explicitly included in scope.
- The review reflects the evidence and access made available at the time; hidden dependencies cannot be guaranteed to be discovered.
Quoted around the environment, not a vague day rate.
The quote is based on the number of nodes, storage and backup design, environment complexity, business criticality and how much evidence must be gathered. Before work begins we agree the review boundary, expected evidence and deliverables so both sides know what the Health Check covers.
Start with the shape of the environment.
Tell us roughly how many Proxmox nodes you run, the storage and backup platforms involved, and what is making you question the current setup. We can confirm whether a Health Check is the right first step and scope it before any work starts.
