Proxmox VE versus VMWare ESXi (tummy.com, ltd. Journal Entry)
(Weinig updates ivm rsi)
Interessante review:
Overview
Proxmox VE, like VMWare ESX, is a “bare metal” virtualization environment. You can stick in the CD, answer a few questions, and have a system ready to start putting virtual machines on. So, in that respect it looks a lot like VMWare ESXi. In this review I will be comparing only the free version of ESXi, not any of the for-pay add-ons.
Proxmox provides many compelling advantages over VMWare ESXi. These include not requiring MS Windows for the use, ability to manage a whole cluster of machines, live and off-line migrations, and unrestricted access to the underlying systems.
Details
Like VMWare, Proxmox provides full system virtualization via KVM. Completely unlike VMWare, Proxmox also can provide container-based virtuals via OpenVZ. OpenVZ allows for extremely light-weight virtual machines. For example, my test Hardy system was using 5MB of RAM where a similar fully-virtualized system used 150MB.
