Proxmox VE 1.5 virtualization server anyone using it??
 
I just found this software and so far I'm loving it!! It's called Proxmox VE and it's a turnkey OpenVZ and KVM server that will set it all up for you and you run it all from a web interface. I've just finished installing this on a server at my work, and even my M$ Windows loving boss is impressed by it. I'm sorry for plugging them, but I'm just so amazed by how easy this was that I had to tell somebody!! Check it out. http://proxmox.com/products/proxmox-ve

I'm only running containers and not full virtualization as I'm running this on an older server, but so far I'm very happy and very impressed! Let me know if you guys have ever heard of this or have any experience with it. I'm thinking of replacing my Centos Xen server with this!

Has anyone had any experience with this software in an actual working environment?

Any feedback about this product would be nice!

I have used proxmox ve server since version 1.1. It also made several changes along the way. All I can say is that it's simple and stable. I used it in our production environment. Web server, mail server and database server. I even include our Linux firewall server and its great. My proxmox server was clustered with 3 nodes and I also have tried vm live migrations, backup and restore and it all works great. I run it on our IBM xseries blade servers.

Like I've said it's very fast and easy to deploy and simple. The cons with it is that it lacks on flexibility on supporting multiple users, administrators and group accounts while accessing its webinterface admin panel. OpenVZ containers are good too btw...

In case of problems, there are also community support. Overall, its a good opensource alter
