Proxmox Marks 20 Years of Delivering Open-Source Enterprise IT Solutions Worldwide

Proxmox, a prominent provider of open-source enterprise IT solutions, is celebrating its 20th anniversary. Since its establishment in 2005, the company has focused on delivering secure, scalable, and user-friendly solutions to businesses around the globe.

Proxmox began with the launch of Proxmox Mail Gateway and later introduced Proxmox Virtual Environment (VE), which uniquely combines container-based virtualization with the KVM hypervisor on a single interface. This innovation has positioned Proxmox as a leading alternative to proprietary virtualization platforms, such as VMware. Key technologies, including ZFS and Ceph, enable organizations to optimize their storage infrastructure, reducing reliance on costly solutions like Fibre Channel or iSCSI SANs.

Notable milestones in Proxmox’s journey include the introduction of a subscription-based support model in 2013, the launch of the Rust-based Proxmox Backup Server in 2020, and the development of a new Yew-based graphical user interface. Recently, the company released the Alpha version of Proxmox Datacenter Manager, designed to simplify the management of multiple Proxmox VE clusters.

With over 200,000 community members and 1.5 million hosts managed worldwide, Proxmox maintains partnerships with more than 1,000 resellers across 142 countries, along with collaborations with hardware and software suppliers, including NVIDIA and Veeam. The open-source solutions provided by Proxmox facilitate a reduction in IT costs and help organizations avoid vendor lock-in, with approximately 95% of VMware setups capable of seamless migration to Proxmox VE.

As Proxmox looks to the future, the company aims to expand its product offerings and enhance its global presence. It remains committed to delivering transparent solutions that are ready for modern IT environments.
