2.1. System Requirements

We recommend using high quality server hardware, when running Proxmox VE in production. To further decrease the impact of a failed host, you can run Proxmox VE in a cluster with highly available (HA) virtual machines and containers.

Proxmox VE can use local storage (DAS), SAN, NAS, and distributed storage like Ceph RBD. For details see chapter storage Chapter 7, Proxmox VE Storage.

These minimum requirements are for evaluation purposes only and should not be used in production.

To get an overview of the CPU and hard disk performance on an installed Proxmox VE system, run the included pveperf tool.

To access the web-based user interface, we recommend using one of the following browsers:

When accessed from a mobile device, Proxmox VE will show a lightweight, touch-based interface.
