I saw the same issue with Windows is Proxmox. I have one customer still using it but will change it out when the chance arises. It's just "ok" at best IMO.
We're VMware Essentials Plus backed by an on-site and off-site replicated HPE Nimble SAN. Not a Hyper-V fan. Have seen too many installations go sideways and switch to VMware. One was a small regional hospital who had nothing but issues. __________________________________ Charles Boening Network Manager 800-858-2399 | Office charl...@calore.net<mailto:charl...@calore.net> www.cot.net<http://www.cot.net/> | Find us on Facebook<https://www.facebook.com/pages/Cal-Ore/205066716227707> __________________________________ Cal-Ore | Local.

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<mailto: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<mailto: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<https://nam10.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.myakka.com%2F&data=05%7C01%7Ccharlieb%40calore.net%7C6e41152acf9649e1864c08da667cb3f2%7C762346cf7166481d8dcf852f7a247b31%7C1%7C0%7C637934983036007640%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=ZA8omMh8BATEWjtDyS79t09uZUnfDDP%2FsXmrcbRjaP8%3D&reserved=0> -- AF mailing list AF@af.afmug.com<mailto:AF@af.afmug.com> http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com<https://nam10.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Faf.afmug.com%2Fmailman%2Flistinfo%2Faf_af.afmug.com&data=05%7C01%7Ccharlieb%40calore.net%7C6e41152acf9649e1864c08da667cb3f2%7C762346cf7166481d8dcf852f7a247b31%7C1%7C0%7C637934983036007640%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=ZqKB5bHqo1UsKk4hDCfwswg%2FejZBY%2BUNRKG1lnySP40%3D&reserved=0>
