Proxmox and Wetec Enterprise IT: The Ideal Partner for Your IT Infrastructure
In the rapidly changing world of IT infrastructures and virtualisation, Proxmox is playing an increasingly prominent role. This open-source platform offers companies a powerful solution for managing both virtual machines and containers, and it is loved for its simplicity, flexibility and cost savings. But why is Proxmox so popular? And why should you choose Wetec Enterprise IT as your partner for implementing and supporting Proxmox? In this blog, we take a closer look at the benefits of Proxmox and Wetec's role as an IT partner.
What is Proxmox?
- Proxmox Virtual Environment (Proxmox VE) is an open-source platform designed specifically for server virtualisation. It enables companies to run both virtual machines (VMs) and containers on a single platform. Proxmox combines powerful features such as:
- Full virtualisation with KVM (Kernel-based Virtual Machine).
- Container virtualisation with LXC (Linux Containers).
- Integrated web interface for easy infrastructure management.
- Backup and restore capabilities, including support for snapshot backups.
- Clustering to manage multiple servers as one.
- Support for different storage options, such as Ceph and ZFS.
Because of this versatility and user-friendly interface, Proxmox is often considered an ideal choice for both small businesses and large enterprises looking for robust and flexible virtualisation solutions.
The benefits of Proxmox
1. Cost savings Proxmox is open-source software, which means initial costs are much lower than comparable commercial products such as VMware or Hyper-V. This gives companies the chance to save on licensing costs without sacrificing functionality or performance.
2. Easy to use The platform offers an intuitive web-based interface that allows administrators to easily create, manage and monitor virtual machines and containers. This makes it an excellent choice for IT teams who do not want to invest a lot of time in complex management.
3. Flexibility Proxmox supports both KVM and LXC, meaning you can use both traditional virtual machines and lightweight, efficient containers. This gives businesses the flexibility to choose the technology that best suits their needs.
4. Scalability Proxmox offers powerful clustering capabilities, allowing multiple servers to be managed as a single entity. This makes the platform scalable and suitable for both small and large IT environments.
5. Strong Community and Support Although Proxmox is an open-source platform, it has a strong community that continuously works on improvements and new functionalities. Moreover, Proxmox offers commercial support for companies that need it.
