The Proxmox Multinode HCI Cluster is an advanced hyper-converged solution, designed for growing companies that need a reliable, high-performance, and easily scalable IT infrastructure. Based on the open-source Proxmox Ceph technology and optimized for maximum efficiency, this solution eliminates traditional bottlenecks. Thanks to the flexible integration of Compute Nodes, Storage Nodes, and Hybrid Nodes (Storage + Compute), the system provides a unified software-defined environment, designed to optimize resource management, ensure high availability, and easily adapt to the company's growth needs.
Who is this solution aimed at?
The Proxmox Multinode HCI Cluster is ideal for:
All organizations that require a highly scalable solution, capable of expanding easily both horizontally (by adding new nodes) and vertically (by enhancing existing resources).
Medium and large companies that want to optimize the management of their IT infrastructure.
Corporate data centers that require high reliability and operational continuity.
Sectors with critical needs such as finance, healthcare, logistics, industry, public administration, and education.
The advantages of the solution:
Pre-configured and ready to use: the system is tested in our labs and optimized to be operational from the first boot.
Seamless scalability: adding new nodes happens transparently, without downtime.
Elimination of the Single Point of Failure (SPOF): thanks to hyper-convergence technology and full component redundancy, any failures do not compromise operational continuity.
High and optimized performance: use of Ceph for distributed storage and high-speed networking.
Turnkey support: including our technical assistance package with updates, proactive monitoring, and quick interventions.
Advanced ransomware protection: the system is integrated with Proxmox Backup Server, which ensures secure backups and fast restoration.

How the Configuration Parameters of the Multinode Cluster are Chosen
The configuration of a Proxmox Multinode HCI Cluster is an optimized process designed to ensure scalability, reliability, and performance tailored to the current and future needs of your IT infrastructure.
The configuration system takes into account three fundamental parameters chosen by the user:
Number of physical cores
RAM capacity
Total storage space required
These parameters determine the minimum number of nodes necessary to ensure an optimal balance between performance and redundancy, avoiding bottlenecks, and ensuring efficient resource distribution.
The Importance of "Performance Growth Forecast"
One of the often-overlooked aspects in configuring a cluster is forecasting the performance increase over the next 5 years.
This parameter is crucial for properly sizing the interconnection network between nodes, as a significant performance increase will require adequate connectivity to ensure system speed and stability.
For example:
✔ If today the workload is supported by a 10 Gbit network, but you anticipate a doubling of performance in the coming years, it may be necessary to consider a 25 Gbit or higher network to avoid future bottlenecks.
✔ If you foresee an expansion of distributed storage with Ceph, a 40 Gbit or 100 Gbit network might be the best choice to maintain high performance without interruptions.
✔ If you plan to expand computing power in terms of RAM and CPU, you'll need to size the switch in such a way that adding nodes later will be easy.
Accurately indicating the anticipated performance growth helps avoid additional upgrade costs in the future and ensures that the Cluster is designed to evolve efficiently.
