Architecture

Proxmox VE cluster architecture

Proxmox delivers clustering, KVM/LXC workloads and integrated backup on commodity hardware — provided quorum, storage and network design are correct from day one.

  1. 01 · Cluster & quorum

    Node 1Node 2Node 3 / QDevice

    Odd quorum count so the cluster survives a node loss without split-brain; corosync on a dedicated link.

  2. 02 · Storage

    ZFS local poolsCeph pool (scale-out)NFS / iSCSI target

    ZFS for single-node integrity and snapshots; Ceph where shared, self-healing storage is required.

  3. 03 · Networking

    Linux bridge / VLAN awareBonded uplinksCluster + storage networks

    Cluster, storage and guest traffic separated so replication cannot starve production traffic.

  4. 04 · Workloads

    KVM virtual machinesLXC containersHA groups

    Containers for lightweight services, VMs where full isolation or unusual kernels are needed.

  5. 05 · Backup

    Proxmox Backup ServerOffsite syncRestore verification

    Deduplicated incremental backups with pruning, plus scheduled restore tests.

FAQ

Proxmox VE questions we are asked

Is a two-node Proxmox cluster safe?
Only with a QDevice acting as a third vote. Two nodes alone cannot form quorum reliably after a failure, which is a common cause of unexpected cluster lockups.
ZFS or Ceph?
ZFS for small clusters and strong local data integrity with snapshots and replication. Ceph when you need shared storage across nodes with self-healing and horizontal scale — it requires more nodes, more network and more operational maturity.
How does Proxmox compare on cost?
There is no per-socket licence for the software; the paid element is an optional enterprise repository subscription. The real comparison is total operational cost, including your team's familiarity with the platform.
Can we migrate from VMware to Proxmox?
Yes. Disks are converted or imported per VM, guest tooling is swapped, and workloads are moved in waves with rollback available until each wave is validated.
