Proxmox POC: validate before production.

A useful POC validates real production scenarios. Our approach structures each phase to produce an objective technical decision, actionable by your teams.

Demo, technical pilot or POC?

The required level of evidence determines the right format. A product demo is not enough for a production decision.

Demonstration
Review the interface and core features without drawing conclusions about estate compatibility.
Technical pilot
Test a limited scope and one specific hypothesis with targeted measurements.
Production POC
Validate architecture, workloads, resilience, backup, DR and operations against written GO / NO-GO criteria.

Four decision gates

Each gate links an input, a test, an expected item of evidence and a decision. The POC advances only when the required evidence is available.

01

Scope and target architecture

Input
VMware inventory, dependencies, network, storage and backup constraints.
Test
Cluster, segmentation and storage design, with representative workload selection.
Evidence produced
Documented architecture, acceptance criteria and risk matrix.
Possible decision
Testable scope or scoping work to revisit.
02

Performance and compatibility

Input
Representative workloads and agreed performance objectives.
Test
Migration, storage and network benchmarks, and application validation.
Evidence produced
Comparable measurements, documented gaps and sizing adjustments.
Possible decision
Workloads accepted, adapted or excluded.
03

Resilience and recovery

Input
Criticality, RTO/RPO, HA policies and selected failure scenarios.
Test
Node loss, storage degradation, restore and rollback.
Evidence produced
Test timeline, HA/DR results and recovery procedures.
Possible decision
Continuity level accepted or remediation required.
04

Operations and GO / NO-GO

Input
Monitoring, backup, runbooks and consolidated validation criteria.
Test
Representative operations and a joint review of the collected evidence.
Evidence produced
Validation report, reservations, migration plan and rollback scenario.
Possible decision
GO, conditional GO or documented NO-GO.
