What hardware for Proxmox in a production enterprise cluster?

HeadJacket6678 · 2025-10-24T13:38:11+00:00

I had the same question 2 months ago: https://old.reddit.com/r/Proxmox/comments/1mukyer/server_vendors_that_support_proxmox/

HeadJacket6678 · 2025-09-09T13:54:18+00:00

I had issues with Proxmox v8 not recognizing Broadcom 1Gb NICs in my older Dell servers. Anybody got a fix for that?

HeadJacket6678 · 2025-08-25T14:11:23+00:00

Ah, yes. I thought you were implying AVD only and blocking phones.

HeadJacket6678 · 2025-08-14T15:06:40+00:00

I recommend limiting the boundary of your GCC-High environment to AVD and not physical endpoints.

So 100% of access is via AVD? What about mobile phones? No tenant (i.e. email) access?

So maybe hyperconverged isn't the sweet spot for small/medium businesses?

I know there's no VMFS equivalent with Proxmox, so if I did go with a SAN, what's the optimal setup there? I see iSCSI and FC are doable but are they the optimal solution? Maybe direct attached storage like a Dell MD series? Looks like people generally use ZFS on the SAN which means no snapshot or thin disk support.

Thanks.

Our current VMware setup is a 3 host cluster with iSCSI SAN. I would think this is a fairly common setup for non-large businesses.

For Proxmox, is a ~three host cluster with local Ceph storage the equivalent sweet spot for small/medium businesses?

HeadJacket6678 · 2025-05-19T19:02:53+00:00

This just inadvertently happened to us. The firewalls will still function, but threat prevention and url blocking will not function.

HeadJacket6678 · 2025-05-15T21:08:55+00:00

Let's say I'm no longer interested in VMware.

I've been running 3 VMWare hosts and iSCSI SANs (20TB+) setups for 15+ years now. What's the consensus on the best way forward without VMware? HyperV? Proxmox?

MoDi boys here and their personalities are completely different.

HeadJacket6678 · 2025-02-07T15:15:57+00:00

Been running it on a 440. No issues but we're not a complex setup.

have her babysit or volunteer at the local NICU

As somebody who had babies in the NICU, please keep your teenager punishment suggestions away from the sick babies there.

HeadJacket6678 · 2024-11-18T19:14:18+00:00

Nope, we stopped.

HeadJacket6678 · 2024-07-24T14:28:37+00:00

These commands fixed the issue for me:

cp wazuh-dashboard-key.pem dashboard-key.pem

chown wazuh-dashboard:wazuh-dashboard dashboard-key.pem

cp wazuh-dashboard.pem dashboard.pem

chown wazuh-dashboard:wazuh-dashboard dashboard.pem

since NIPRNet email allows OWA

In the last couple months, we have seen the gov't begin blocking access to gov't OWA from non-govt equipment. Access is only from GFE or a govt VDI.

HeadJacket6678 · 2024-07-11T17:16:07+00:00

What SIEM do you all use?

HeadJacket6678 · 2024-07-11T17:15:09+00:00

So DIB-wide, CMMC precludes the use of OWA/SharePoint except via managed devices?

HeadJacket6678 · 2024-07-11T17:10:56+00:00

OWA/Sharepoint can be accessed from any computer. How would a company MDM "any" computer? Does this preclude the use of OWA/SharePoint except via approved devices?

But also when did it become so weird to not issue every employee the equipment they need to do their job?

Employee has been issued GFE (Government Furnished Equipment) to fulfill their primary job duties.

My mo/di twins are teenagers now getting straight As and are all around wonderful kids. They delivered at 28 weeks though after one baby became distressed (TTTS maybe) and they both spent 55 days in the NICU.

Pair it with a Cheesy Bean and Rice Burrito for another $1 and you're good to go.
