How does Proxmox compare to VMware for enterprise use?

Proxmox delivers feature parity with VMware for most enterprise capabilities including live migration, HA clustering, distributed storage, backup, and web management. The primary difference is cost — Proxmox eliminates per-socket licensing fees.

Do we need the Proxmox enterprise subscription?

The enterprise subscription provides stable repository access and vendor support. We recommend it for production environments. However, Proxmox is fully functional without a subscription, and our managed services cover operational support regardless.

Can Proxmox handle our compliance requirements?

Yes. We configure Proxmox to meet CMMC, HIPAA, SOC 2, and PCI DSS requirements through encryption, role-based access, two-factor authentication, audit logging, and network segmentation with compliance documentation.

How do you handle Proxmox updates in a cluster?

We execute rolling updates: migrating VMs via live migration, applying updates, validating health, then proceeding to the next node. This maintains cluster availability throughout the update process.

What storage options does Proxmox support?

Proxmox supports ZFS, LVM, LVM-thin, Ceph, NFS, iSCSI, GlusterFS, and more. Most enterprise deployments use Ceph for shared VM storage and ZFS for local high-performance workloads.

Can you manage our existing Proxmox environment?

Yes. We start with an assessment of your current deployment, implement recommended improvements, then transition to ongoing managed services with monitoring, patching, backup verification, and incident response.

What is included in your managed Proxmox service?

24/7 monitoring, proactive maintenance, rolling patch management, backup verification, capacity planning, incident response, change management, quarterly architecture reviews, and direct access to our Proxmox engineering team.

How do you handle disaster recovery with Proxmox?

Multi-layered DR with Ceph replication within the cluster, Proxmox Backup Server with off-site replication, and documented recovery procedures tested periodically. RPO and RTO are defined per workload class.
