Proxmox has a good feature set for a fraction of the cost. VMWare has some extra niceties, but for 10x the money.
My current employer is using VMWare. The previous two had Proxmox. I like them both just fine, but if I was writing the check I’d pick Proxmox every time. ….that said, my Windows VM’s always seemed a little pokey in Proxmox, even with the drivers installed. If I was Windows heavy I might feel different. -Adam From: AF <af-boun...@af.afmug.com> On Behalf Of Forrest Christian (List Account) Sent: Thursday, July 14, 2022 10:36 PM To: AnimalFarm Microwave Users Group <af@af.afmug.com> Subject: Re: [AFMUG] VMWare I run proxmox at PacketFlux for our MES and other internal servers. I'm not sure if I'd consider anything else. My architecture is replicated vms and data with backup. If I had a bigger cluster I'd do some sort of distributed file system.

I got things rigged back together, but I need to build a more robust VM system. I'm look to move into the VMWare world. I think Vmware Vsphere Essentials Plus is the route I need to go. I may be able to get away with just Essentials, but the extra tools may help. Any thoughts on setup. Currently we run RAID10 on each VM Host and backup to a NAS. I'm thinking I'll keep that setup for the VMWare. If I get Essentials Plus will I be able to to HOT backups of running VMs or is that a third party thing? -- Thanks, Mark mailto:m...@mailmt.com <mailto:m...@mailmt.com> Myakka Communications www.Myakka.com <http://www.Myakka.com> -- AF mailing list AF@af.afmug.com <mailto:AF@af.afmug.com> http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com
