One of the best hypervisors out there.

Proxmox's implementation of ZFS is second to none. It allows for pooling and failover to cluster nodes when needed and has saved me more than once.

Reliability and Expandability

The features I like best right now are: ZFS usability - Storage flexibility options Clustering - one to as many servers as you need for your scalable infrastructure Using hardware passthrough Light weight OS Flexibility, install on old and new hardware! In the few years I used this software I never had a kernel panic. This software just simply works and is a great platform to get in on as a beginner as they have a community / free edition. Learn this platform it will get a good base and understanding of Hypervisor style operating system. Then take that knowledge even further, especially as ESXI / VM ware has changed their licensing model. I rate this from Entry Level to expert, use in any and all cases!
