Proxmox VE is an open-source virtualization platform for running virtual machines and Linux containers on your own hardware, managed from one web interface. It is a common, license-cost-free alternative to VMware for organisations that want to run their own servers.
Proxmox bundles the pieces a self-hosted environment needs — virtualization, clustering, high availability, and backup — without per-socket licensing, which is why interest rose sharply after VMware’s post-acquisition pricing changes. The work that matters is the design around it: storage, networking, backups that have actually been restored, and a migration plan that does not lose data.
We run Proxmox clusters and migrate teams off VMware end to end.
