Both reviews assess agreed configuration and evidence. Production changes, repairs, migrations, restore tests and ongoing incident support are separately scoped. Unverified areas are identified in the findings.

# review-scope
What the fuller assessment reviews.
The £495 Health Check covers the agreed areas below. The £195 single-host review focuses on the host, local storage, management access and backup evidence described in its package. Evidence gaps are identified as unverified.
Cluster & resilience
Review node membership, quorum assumptions, HA configuration, failure domains and obvious single points of failure around the Proxmox estate.
Compute & capacity
Look at CPU, memory and host utilisation, allocation patterns, overcommit assumptions and whether current capacity leaves sensible operational headroom.
Storage
Review storage architecture, pool configuration, redundancy assumptions, latency or capacity concerns and how storage choices affect VM availability.
Networking
Review bridges, bonds, VLAN layout, management access and network dependencies that could make maintenance, failover or troubleshooting harder than expected.
Backup & recovery
Review backup coverage, schedules, retention, failed jobs and evidence of restore testing. Recovery capability is assessed separately from simply having backup jobs configured.
Lifecycle & operations
Review version posture, upgrade planning, recurring alerts, documentation gaps and operational practices that can turn routine maintenance into avoidable risk.
# deliverables
Inside the fuller report.
The fuller £495 assessment includes an executive summary, an environment and evidence register, supported findings with impact and limitations, and a prioritised action plan. Recommendations can be implemented by your team, HSVE or another provider.
01
Executive summary
A concise view of the environment, the most important risks and what deserves attention first rather than a raw export of technical observations.
02
Structured findings
Findings grouped by area with context and practical severity so important issues are separated from lower-priority improvements.
03
Prioritised action plan
Recommended next actions ordered by risk and operational value, including items your internal team can complete without further HSVE involvement.
04
Review call
A scheduled 30-minute walkthrough of the findings. The single-host review includes a 15-minute handover of its short written action summary instead. Both include one consolidated clarification email within 14 days.
# next-step
Start with the shape of the environment.
Tell us roughly how many Proxmox nodes you run, the storage and backup platforms involved, and what is making you question the current setup. We can confirm whether a Health Check is the right first step and scope it before any work starts.
