"Proxmox's Virtual Environment, a platform that hosts virtual machines and containers, and includes software-defined storage and networking, has become increasingly prominent in recent years as Broadcom's VMware business unit focused on large enterprise customers. Proxmox has become a popular alternative to VMware for organizations whose needs don't go far beyond basic server virtualization. Even one VMware partner The Register recently spoke to decided Proxmox was sufficient for some internal workloads it felt did not need all the features of VMware's Cloud Foundation platform."
"As explained in Proxmox's launch announcement, the product "... provides an aggregated view of all your connected nodes and clusters and is designed to manage complex and distributed infrastructures, from local installations to globally scaled data centers." Datacenter Manager also enables migration of VMs across clusters without having to manually reconfigure networks. That's a trick VMware invented decades ago and has since become table stakes for serious private cloud players. Other features also help to make Proxmox a contender, such as VM fleet management tools that allow admins to identify VMs that need patches and arrange installation, lifecycle management for VMs, and a dashboard that allows a view of all hosts and the workloads they host - and their status."
Proxmox released the first full stable version of Datacenter Manager to provide centralized management across multiple independent Proxmox environments. The product provides an aggregated view of connected nodes and clusters and targets complex, distributed infrastructures from local installations to globally scaled data centers. Datacenter Manager enables migration of virtual machines across clusters without manual network reconfiguration. The product adds VM fleet management tools, lifecycle management for VMs, and a dashboard showing hosts and workload status. Proxmox Server Solutions GmbH develops Proxmox products under the GNU AGPLv3 license and implemented Datacenter Manager in Rust. Proxmox Virtual Environment hosts VMs and containers and includes software-defined storage and networking.
