Proxmox Virtual Environment Platform

Proxmox details:

What is proxmox?

Proxmox is an open-source virtualization platform that combines KVM for virtual machines and LXC for containers, allowing efficient management of VMs, storage, and networking through a web-based interface. It supports clustering, live migration, and high availability, making it a powerful alternative to VMware and Hyper-V. With built-in backup solutions and flexible storage options, Proxmox is ideal for both small and large-scale virtualization environments.

Key Features and Capabilities-

1. Web-Based Management

Proxmox offers a fully web-based GUI for managing VMs, storage, networking, clustering, and users. This eliminates the need for complex command-line operations (though CLI is available for advanced users).

2. Storage Flexibility

Proxmox supports various storage backends, making it adaptable to different infrastructures: ZFS, Ceph, NFS, iSCSI

3. Clustering & High Availability

Multi-node clustering allows combining multiple Proxmox servers into a single, unified platform. High Availability (HA) ensures automatic failover—if one node goes down, VMs automatically restart on another node.

4. Integrated Backup & Restore (Proxmox Backup Server - PBS)

Proxmox includes built-in support for snapshot-based backups of VMs and containers. Proxmox Backup Server (PBS) provides deduplicated, incremental, and encrypted backups. Supports scheduled backups and restore options for disaster recovery.
