Proxmox VE

Proxmox VE

Proxmox VE (Virtual Environment) is one of the most popular open-source virtualization solutions, combining both the KVM hypervisor and LXC containerization.

Here are the three most important and highly valued features to consider when choosing this type of software:

Full integration of KVM virtualization and LXC containers  
  • Allows you to create both full virtual machines (KVM) and lightweight containers (LXC) within a single environment.
  • Offers flexibility – you can choose the type of virtualization depending on performance and isolation needs.

Built-in clustering and high availability (HA)  

  • Enables easy connection of multiple servers into a single cluster with centralized management.
  • Supports automatic migration of virtual machines between nodes in case of hardware failure (HA), minimizing downtime.

Advanced storage management and snapshots  
  • Supports multiple storage backends (Ceph, ZFS, LVM, NFS, iSCSI).
  • Offers the ability to create snapshots and replicate VMs/containers, making backup and system recovery easier.

Why I Chose Proxmox VE

I chose Proxmox VE because it provides an optimal combination of advanced capabilities and cost efficiency. The integration of KVM virtualization with LXC containerization enables me to run both resource-intensive virtual machines and lightweight services within a single environment. Its built-in clustering and High Availability (HA) features ensure system continuity even in the event of hardware failures. Furthermore, flexible storage management, support for multiple backends, and straightforward implementation of snapshots and replication significantly simplify backup processes and rapid environment recovery.
