Proxmox Virtual Environment is a complete, open-source solution for enterprise virtualization that integrates the KVM hypervisor and Linux containers (LXC), software-defined storage (SDS), and networking (SDN) on a single platform. From the central user interface, you can manage VMs and containers, storage resources, network configuration, and high availability for clusters. The interface also provides access to multiple out-of-the-box tools for tasks such as backup/restore, live migration, storage replication, and firewall configuration. Proxmox VE is designed to scale to cluster-level and enables you to virtualize even the most demanding of Linux and Windows application workloads. By combining two virtualization technologies on a single platform, Proxmox VE provides maximum flexibility for your data center. It includes strong high-availability (HA) support and – thanks to the unique multi-master design – you don’t need any additional management server, thus saving resources and allowing HA without a single point of failure (SPOF).

Key Features:

  • Unified Virtualization: Run both Virtual Machines (KVM) and lightweight Containers (LXC) on a single platform, maximizing workload flexibility and resource efficiency.
  • Built-in High Availability (HA) Clustering & Live Migration: Zero downtime through “live migration” and automated failover (HA) to ensure strict SLAs are met.
  • Flexible Storage Stack: Native support for local High-Performance (ZFS, LVM-Thin), Traditional Shared (NFS, iSCSI/FC SAN), and Distributed Software-Defined Storage (Ceph). Hyper-converged setups (HCI).
  • Native Data Protection: Built-in backup/restore and storage replication. Seamless integration with Proxmox Backup Server for lightning-fast, deduplicated recovery. Software-Defined Networking (SDN) & Integrated Firewall.
  • Central, web-based management interface.
