What is your primary use case for Proxmox VE?

My primary use case for Proxmox VE focuses on replacing VMware solutions and migrating to a Centric Solution for medium-sized companies. This product serves as a hypervisor in environments where performance is crucial.

The primary use case for Proxmox VE is virtualization for a company and migration of some clients to Proxmox. We implement virtual machines.

Proxmox is a virtual machine and container suite with everything in one place. It does not use Docker directly but uses a specific tool called LXC for containers. They also use it with KVM to offer customers a unified and easy-to-use graphical tool along with a very powerful command line suite of tools for visualization. Proxmox is from Germany. It is a free product that has all the features, just like the commercial license. The difference is that the customer has access to additional repositories in commercially licensed versions. These include extra plug-ins and capabilities that eventually are used in a production environment. The free or community edition has a complete suite of virtualization tools and high availability capabilities to provide a complete scenario for production, testing, etc. Proxmox VE is a very, very good product. Proxmox VE is a Debian Linux-based product that can be downloaded on an ISO archive or installed in a Debian Linux environment that the customer already has.

Proxmox VE can manage clusters across sites. It is really easy to set up a cluster of products. It has a lot of integrations, and it works flawlessly. It is a very robust solution for any enterprise. Additionally, if needed, you can pay for support, which is much less expensive than VMware.

We use the solution for virtualization and Apache cloud stack backend. It is mainly used for storage. We are using the FTP application on Proxmox VE.

I utilize Proxmox VE primarily for running virtual machines instead of containers, especially for services that require the entire environment of a VM. Some of these services are easier to manage within a VM. Additionally, I use Docker for certain other services, running them within virtual machines hosted on Proxmox. Moreover, I ensure backup of my devices by utilizing a separate machine for backups.

My company uses Proxmox VE for VDI, so we basically use it for Windows VDI, and a few of our Linux servers run on it.

In 1994, I started to work with Proxmox VE. Since 2020, I have developed much expertise in Proxmox VE and have helped many organizations with their Proxmox VE needs. During this time, I have studied Linux, maintenance, and troubleshooting and helped organizations successfully implement and manage Proxmox VE.

We use VM for high availability.

We are cloud providers. We install the product to serve our customers.

Our primary use case for the Proxmox VE solution is iCloud.

It's used for server virtualization on a client-facing network.

VM Management and Ceph Storage and Backup.

We use the solution for managing infrastructure like VMs.

The solution is used for virtualization, web servers, databases, and S3 storage spaces.

We are using Proxmox VE for our internal services, we have a few virtual machines that run our mail servers, call center solutions, TDX, and other applications. Proxmox VE is a virtualized platform.

Proxmox VE is used for many sectors, such as medical, IT, and electronics. It is an open-source server management platform.

I have Proxmox VE, which is based on Debian Linux, installed at home. It's part of my virtualization now. It allows one to create virtual machines in containers. We basically created a web interface. My test environment and pfSense are installed on the solution for building the data center. I am using version seven, which is the latest version that was recently released. I've been working with Proxmox since version two. The solution can be used to virtualize environments, as well as for containers, similar to that of VMware, Hyper-V, Nutanix and OpenStack. Proxmox takes a different approach. It provides one single user interface to configure the virtual machines, the containers, the management and everything else. It's based on Debian Linux, using KVM. The web interface replaces the need to deal with the command line. It allows a person to create virtual machines and is very user-friendly. It's an amazing product.

I'm using Proxmox VE for virtual machines on three servers, mainly for the database and the application and email server.

It's an open-source solution for virtualizing. It’s a server virtualization software. Everything that's work or life is managed by Proxmox.

I use Proxmox VE to host a domain control environment, a Windows server environment, and to host a few apps that I publish on the store. I'm also using it to manage clients' remote surveillance backups because I keep my clients' CCTV footage. I set up an NVR environment, and I'm pushing traffic to my servers. I'm running a mini data center. It's doing apps. It's doing Windows Server Management for a normal environment. It's nothing fancy, but it's working.

At the moment, it's used for the virtualization of everything within my test environment. I'm not using the newest version of Proxmox.

I am using it to virtualize microservices.

Our primary use case for Proxmox VE is for virtualization and a little bit of SaaS storage, basically for virtual machines.

With Proxmox, we use the hypervisor of Proxmox and Proxmox backups. In VMware, I see all the production, like vSphere, vCenter, vRealize Operations Manager, vSAN, Workspace ONE, and VMware Horizon. Right now we are working with NSX. For VMware, as a partner, I have many cases of vSAN as a hyperconvergence solution. This solution is very popular in my country, mostly with banks. There are many solutions that we have implemented and that are very successful. Horizon is another solution that is highly requested by clients. Because of the pandemic, the VDI and Remote Desktop are often requested from our clients. Those two are very good solutions. From my experience, I don't have many problems with them.

I am using this solution for the virtualization of many servers. I have its latest version.

We use this solution for our file servers. Most of the applications are file servers and some are employed as web servers for internal applications that we use.

We are implementers and we implement solutions for our customers. We tested Proxmox VE as a solution to build our applications

We have many use cases for this solution, including electric services.

We sell Proxmox VE solutions to our customers. The workload to help our customers may be the biggest use case to be on the cloud. We use a bunch of statuses, and different ways to deliver databases, and SQL Servers. So, that's the natural way we use the platform on the cloud.

I primarily use Proxmox for training in university. I use its virtual environment.

We use the solution to host virtual machines, such as: SQL Server Database, Active directory domain services, web services, general cloud applications, and some virtual machines or containers for development and testing purpose. Specially the preference for containers is due to the easly development when the only basic operational system is required istead of fully hardware virtualization (kvm). We heavly use replication resource to assign some garantine to critical virtual machines wich could run eventually on other sites or hosts, in case of broken internet links, hardware issues or even hacker attacks (many thanks to ZFS working with PVE-ZSync feature that allow planning a standback period of retention snapshots, quickly failover and fallback of virtual machine storage)

We use it wherever we need virtualization.

There are a number of services that we need, such as a dedicated phone system and an Active Directory server, that we run in a virtualized environment. Doing so means that we don't need to use dedicated hardware for them.

We primarily use this solution to cover anything that VMware does.

We use this solution as our virtualization platform. It is a hypervisor that we use for our virtual needs to run servers.

This is a free version of VMware and that's why we're using it. It does everything that VMware can do and it's more flexible. We were looking for a virtual solution and we're a startup, so the cheapest is best. We are customers of Proxmox and I'm the technology operations manager.

We are now running it in full HA production vs XCP-NG and VMWware 6.7u3p We have multiple VMs on 6 hosts for Proxmox, 5 hosts on XCP-NG, and 12 Hosts for VMware. Proxmox Config: 6X 2697V2 128GB ram each / 24TB SSD for CEPH (HP S700 PRO). XCP-NG Config: 5X2690V3 128GB each/12TB SSD (Samsung 860 Pro). VMware Config: HP BLADE 12X2690V3 256GB each/2 SAN with 24X1TB SSD (S700 PRO) and total usable 1PB with multiple DAS for storage. Comparing the CEPH to vSAN is about the same (wasn't running it in production but the performance was greater with a cheap drive on Proxmox, performance with SAS drives is the same). XO-SAN was a way to mix a whole mismatch of drive and still get good performance but I would doubt the reliability.

We use the open-source version of Proxmox for automation and other uses, including LXC containers. We use it for my enterprise applications and to offer our hosted cloud-services.

We use this solution for Linux servers and contain our VM operating system servers.

We use this solution to host our database, and also the Nextcloud private-cloud solution. We have an on-premises deployment.

We primarily use the solution in order to have an infrastructure set up on-prem. It enables flexibility in projects to set up virtual servers. Instead of having to go out and buy expensive solutions from VMware, for example, Proxmox fills the gap between flexibility and stability.

We primarily use the solution for some websites and applications.

My primary use case for this solution is virtualization. We have an on-premises deployment.

Our primary use case is testing any software by Proxmox.

I use this solution as a virtualization and Linux container platform for a small-medium Enterprise. It's highly stable, flexible, expansible, and compatible. The characteristics of the software combined with the hardware performance allow for the deployment of services in many different and variable scenarios, especially on-site for companies that need this kind of deployment.

We currently have more than 160 virtual machines and LXC containers on Proxmox in an all Linux production environment.

It is implemented in several Private Cloud Data Centers, from 5 to 16 nodes, from 256 GB RAM to 1 TB RAM, all using Supermicro Systems, running SQL servers, Application Servers ( SAP, Prothevs and some tailored Apps developed in house ) VDI and Files Repositories . all smooth and trouble free .
