POC Support
Validate the architecture before production.
A useful POC validates real production scenarios. Our approach structures each phase to produce an objective technical decision, actionable by your teams.
The 7 POC phases
PHASE 01
Preliminary analysis
- ✓Existing infrastructure inventory
- ✓Definition of production validation criteria
- ✓Selection of representative workloads
- ✓Scoping of POC phases and milestones
PHASE 02
Architecture & networking
- ✓Cluster design and target topology
- ✓Network validation, segmentation and resilience
- ✓Network resilience and service continuity
- ✓Documented and enforceable network architecture
PHASE 03
Storage
- ✓Storage architecture based on real constraints
- ✓Benchmarks on representative workloads
- ✓Resilience and degradation tests
- ✓Target sizing validation
PHASE 04
High availability
- ✓High availability validation and failover scenarios
- ✓Automatic migration policies by criticality
- ✓Live migration and service continuity
- ✓Anti-split-brain scenarios tested and documented
PHASE 05
DRP tests
- ✓Physical node loss simulation in real conditions
- ✓Storage loss simulation and recovery
- ✓RTO / RPO measurement on production workloads
- ✓Validated recovery procedures
PHASE 06
Production validation
- ✓Real application tests on representative workloads
- ✓Parallel VMware / Proxmox run with documented rollback
- ✓SLA and continuity constraint validation
- ✓Objective and enforceable go/no-go decision
PHASE 07
Operations & monitoring
- ✓Set up monitoring and operational procedures
- ✓Infrastructure alerting and backups
- ✓Operational runbooks delivered
- ✓Administration team training
