Unified Management: Proxmox provides a unified platform for managing both virtualization (KVM for virtual machines) and containerization (LXC), which simplifies management. In contrast, VMware often requires multiple products (vSphere, vCenter, etc.) to achieve the same functionality.
Proxmox supports hyperconverged architecture by combining compute (KVM/LXC), storage (using CEPH distributed system), and network virtualization (through SDN features), all controlled from a single management interface.
Integrated Containerization: Proxmox natively supports Linux Containers (LXC) alongside traditional KVM-based virtual machines, making it a versatile solution for hybrid environments where both virtualization and containers are required.
Clustering and HA: Proxmox includes built-in clustering and high availability features. Users can easily configure Proxmox clusters to improve fault tolerance and ensure continuity during failures. These features in VMware are available but often require additional modules, which increase costs and complexity.
Accelerate your AI projects with Proxmox VE. The platform supports direct AI GPU access (hardware passthrough) for maximum machine learning and artificial intelligence performance in virtualized environments.
Integrated Backup Solution: Proxmox provides built-in, easy-to-use backup and snapshot functionality for both VMs and containers. Proxmox Backup Server offers efficient, deduplicated backups, making it easier to manage backup operations compared to VMware, which often requires separate backup solutions.
Seamless Migration: Proxmox allows live migration of VMs and containers between nodes within a cluster without service disruption. This is critical for maintenance and balancing workloads across nodes.
Role-Based Access Control (RBAC): Proxmox provides granular role-based access control, ensuring that users have the appropriate permissions based on their roles.
Two-Factor Authentication (2FA): Proxmox supports 2FA, adding an additional layer of security to protect the management interface from unauthorized access.
Encryption and Secure Communication: Proxmox uses modern encryption standards to secure data and communication, ensuring data integrity and protection.
Highly Optimized KVM: Proxmox benefits from the stability and performance of KVM which is a proven enterprise-grade hypervisor.
Regular Updates: The Proxmox development team continuously release updates, ensuring the platform stays modern, secure, and feature-rich.
Proxmox provides an open-source, feature-rich, and cost-effective alternative to proprietary virtualization platforms. It´s combination of KVM virtualization, container support, HA, clustering, flexible storage and networking, along with an easy-to-use management interface, makes it a powerful tool for managing virtualized infrastructures. Proxmox’s flexibility and scalability makes it suitable for organizations of all sizes looking for a robust and secure virtualization solution.
Proxmox Backup Server (PBS) is an open-source, enterprise-class backup solution designed specifically for backing up virtual machines (VMs), containers and physical hosts in a Proxmox Virtual Environment (PVE). It is optimized for efficiency, speed, and security, making it a robust tool for protecting data in virtualized infrastructures. PBS allows users to create deduplicated, incremental backups that are space-efficient, reducing storage costs while maintaining high levels of data protection.
PBS is ideal for organizations using Proxmox Virtual Environment, providing a native backup and recovery solution to protect VMs and containers.
With it´s incremental backups, deduplication, and fast restoration capabilities, PBS enables organizations to recover quickly from hardware failures, software crashes or data corruption.
PBS’s deduplication and compression features make it a great solution for storing long-term backups with minimal storage requirements.
By setting customizable retention policies, administrators can manage backup lifecycles efficiently without manual intervention.
Using Proxmox Backup Servers and Hyperconverged architecture, you can create a resilient solution for service and data recovery in the event of a datacenter failure or cyber attack.
Meet us and we will help you understand how Proxmox works from bussines and technological perspective. We will listen you needs and assess how can Proxmox help you and be beneficial for you.
With you help we will analyze your needs, current solution and design the target state including Security, Access Management, Data backup, Operational processes and sustainability of solution.
We are strict to project managements and the change will be planned according well used frameworks (Prince2) to not miss any part which can affect the delivery.
Part of each delivery is Pilot, where we perform all tasks on selected portion of scope, so you can have real hands-on with Proxmox VE and PBS.
We will train your specialists and engineers to know and securely operate daily ongoing tasks. During and post transition period we will provide extended care to avoid negative effects from the change.
Part of our services is to take care of new or existing Proxmox deployment. From consultation services on level of 2nd and 3rd support to fully outsourced environments.
