The dramatic increase in the price of VMware licenses leads to thinking about another solution. The Proxmox platform is a more cost-effective and technologically comparable alternative. What are its advantages?
Proxmox is an open-source virtualization platform that provides features for managing virtualized resources such as virtual machines and containers. With Proxmox, you can create and manage virtual servers, share resources between multiple virtual machines, and easily backup and restore data. This platform is often used to build cloud infrastructures and data centers.
Advantages of Proxmox
- Low cost - Proxmox is an open-source platform, which means users only pay for support and updates. While VMware requires paid licenses for most of its features.
- Flexibility and integration - Proxmox combines management of virtualized machines and containers into a single user interface. This reduces complexity and enables better infrastructure integration and management.
- Openness and custom configuration - Thanks to its open and modular design, Proxmox allows users a wider range of options for custom configuration and adaptation to their needs. VMware is a more closed platform.
- Easy scalability - Proxmox supports clustering. It allows the infrastructure to be easily expanded as needed, which is beneficial as the business grows or changes in performance and availability requirements.
