OS/Platform
Our host platform is now exclusively running on XEN, with dedicated "driver" domUs for NW, ZFS and Ceph.
NW-wise we have a dedicated storage NW(running on its own FC/eth hw), an obscure host-only management lan and firewalled dmz, prod/dev/test networks for infrastructure components. Member-domU are connected to an unfirewalled wan bridge(PVE lets you specify your own firewall rules very easily, we advice you to do so). VPN client infrastructure is still in the testing phase.
