Cost-Optimized Hyperconverged High Availability with Open-E JovianDSS & Proxmox VE

Discover a highly efficient and cost-effective virtualization solution offering superior high availability, continuous backup, and rapid disaster recovery for your critical data infrastructure.

Streamline Your Virtual Environment While Slashing Costs

Our solution, integrating Open-E JovianDSS with Proxmox VE, creates a powerful hyperconverged HA cluster on just two nodes. This innovative architecture significantly reduces hardware expenses compared to traditional setups, which typically require at least three servers by default (like the default Proxmox configuration). Thanks to that difference, our approach delivers enterprise-grade performance with substantial cost savings.

  • Hyperconverged Architecture: Consolidate storage and compute on fewer nodes, reducing hardware needs.
  • High Availability & Backup: Achieve continuous On- and Off-site Data Protection (OODP) with near-zero RPO.
  • Simplified Management: Automated VM/CT configuration file backups streamline recovery.
  • Enterprise-Grade Resilience: Scalable for large deployments, yet cost-effective for SMBs.

Open‑E Original Integration Tool Included


Thanks to the integration tool developed by the Open-E team specifically for this configuration, you are able to perform Open-E JovianDSS actions on the level of Proxmox VE. As the whole setup is contained in a hyper-converged infrastructure, it is a great way to make your data storage resources management easier than ever! Our guide contains tips for using it in practice, as well as links that will let you download all the required resources to set it up!

Unmatched Data Protection & Instant Recovery


Leverage continuous Open-E JovianDSS On- and Off-site Data Protection (OODP) to ensure 24/7 backups and near-zero Recovery Point Objective (RPO). You can use a third, low-cost node as a dedicated backup and Disaster Recovery repository, enabling instant VM restarts from backup even if both main servers fail. This way you can achieve seamless business continuity, protecting your operations against outages and data corruption with superior resilience.

Resilience and Efficiency for Modern IT Infrastructures


Our solution offers robust enterprise-grade resilience, supporting large-scale deployments while remaining highly cost-effective for small and medium-sized businesses. It simplifies management by backing up VM/CT configuration files alongside virtual disks, providing a streamlined recovery process. By combining Open-E JovianDSS HA Cluster with OODP and Proxmox VE, service providers and IT departments can build high-performance IT environments with critical data protection, supporting thousands of virtual machines and containers on optimized hardware infrastructure. The architecture minimizes filesystem overhead, enhancing overall performance and ensuring uninterrupted backup operations even under heavy workloads.
