Proxmox Virtual Environment is a robust open-source server virtualization platform that allows you to manage two virtualization technologies: KVM (Kernel-based Virtual Machine) for virtual machines and LXC for containers - all through a unified web-based interface. It allows users to:

• Create & manage multiple virtual machines on a single host server.
• Consolidate your physical infrastructure into virtual machines.
• Dynamically scale your storage resources.
• Seamlessly integrate the KVM hypervisor and Linux containers (LXC).
• Harness the capabilities of software-defined storage and networking.
• Efficiently back up and restore virtual machines (VMs), containers, and physical hosts.

What are the advantages of Proxmox?

Load balancing: The Proxmox cluster can effectively distribute virtual machines and containers across multiple hosts. This strategic distribution prevents any single host from overloading and optimizes utilizing available resources.

Centralized Management: The Proxmox cluster offers a unified administration interface that simplifies the management and monitoring of the entire infrastructure by consolidating all Proxmox servers in the cluster.

Shared Storage: The Proxmox cluster enables efficient storage sharing among multiple hosts in the cluster, simplifying the management and allocation of storage resources for virtual machines and containers.

Live Migration: The Proxmox cluster facilitates the seamless relocation of virtual machines and containers between cluster hosts, enabling us to perform maintenance and updates without causing any downtime for our workloads.

Scalability: Due to its remarkable scalability, the Proxmox cluster allows for the effortless addition or removal of hosts to accommodate evolving requirements and workloads.
