A platform for an easy virtualisation management from the one environment
Proxmox VE (Virtual Environment) is an open source tool that allows the deployment and management of VPS with KVM or LXC virtualisation from a single interface. It is also used to create cluster solutions and private clouds.
Thanks to the live migration function, it is possible to move running virtual machines with KVM between 2 cluster nodes. The end user does not register an outage.
Proxmox VE is controlled via a web interface. This allows administrators to manage KVM or LXC-based VPS from a single location.
Proxmox VE is not just for managing virtual machines and containers. Thanks to very good scalability, it can also be used for creating clusters.
The platform has a REST API that allows you to connect third-party tools. The REST API is in JSON format, which helps for quick and easy integration.
The multi-node Proxmox VE HA cluster allows you to define highly available virtual servers. Thanks to this, you will always have the data at hand.
We use Proxmox VE to manage and deploy VPS with KVM virtualisation. The service can be set up automatically in our customer system. There you choose custom parameters and having paid the installation fee, the VPS will be launched.

We have been cooperating with Proxmox for a long time and we also use our experience with their platform in the construction of cluster solutions and private clouds. Let us build an advanced infrastructure with high availability.
As with most software, Proxmox VE must be updated regularly. New functions and changes are always clearly presented on the Youtube channel, as in the case of version 6.3.
Did you know that ...
Proxmox VE has its own file system? Proxmox has developed its own Proxmox Cluster database file system (pmxcfs). It allows you to store configuration files and replicate them in real time to all nodes in the cluster. No other virtualisation platform uses this file system, making Proxmox VE a unique platform for creating and managing clusters.
