On-Prem (ProxMox/VMware vSphere/OpenNebula) Virtualized Platform
An organization with scattered physical servers and limited capabilities for rapid recovery sought better reliability and lower maintenance costs. We built a virtualized environment with high availability, backups, and a recovery plan.
Project Goals
Consolidate workloads in a virtualized environment.
High availability and automatic recovery in case of hardware failure.
Backups and recovery testing.
Clearer availability and recovery goals (SLO/RTO/RPO).
Our Approach
Assessment of current workloads, dependencies, and criticality, and definition of RTO/RPO goals.
Design of HA architecture (compute, storage, network) and backup/restore plan.
Implementation of monitoring, capacity planning, and incident procedures.
Conducted recovery tests and documented runbooks.
Solution
- Virtualized platform with HA.
- Backup strategy with restore tests.
- Monitoring and alarms.
- Documentation and procedures for emergencies.
Results
- Better resilience to hardware failure via HA.
- Clearer and tested recovery process.
- More efficient infrastructure use through consolidation.
FAQ
What does HA mean in this context?
Do we need to test Disaster Recovery?
Can it be done gradually?
