SEMESTER 2 2012 - Week 2


Research on Proxmox VE

For my project,i used open source software based on Linux Operating System (OS) that called Proxmox VE.My supervisor encourage me to use this software because it user friendly.Proxmox VE is a powerful Open Source Server Virtualization Platform, based on KVM and OpenVZ.Proxmox VE is the best choice for server virtualization because it can gives near-bare-metal performance and leading scalability for our workloads.In other words,you can virtualize even the most demanding application workloads.

Below are the features of Proxmox VE :

  • ·         Linux  and Windows Servers
  • ·         32 and 64 bit operation systems
  • ·         Support for the latest Intel and AMD server chipsets for great VM performance
  • ·         Leading performance relative to bare metal for real-world enterprise workloads
  • ·         Management layer contains all the capabilities required to create and manage a virtual infrastructure.

Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM) is a full virtualization solution for Linux on x86 hardware containing virtualization extensions.It consists of a loadable kernel module that provides the core virtualization infrastructure and a processor specific module.

OpenVZ is container-based virtualization for Linux. OpenVZ creates multiple secure, isolated Linux containers on a single physical server enabling better server utilization and ensuring that applications do not conflict.Each container performs and executes exactly like a stand-alone server; a container can be rebooted independently and have root access, users, IP addresses, memory, processes, files, applications, system libraries and configuration files.
