  If you’re already running windows, hyper-v, that’s proxmox, and tons of others. So they are mistaken. 🤣

    They mean that they aren’t offering another solution.

      I know, but this is the way I read it when they claim to give no option.

    All of them not equate in same league. Do you know any type 1 free supervises out there? Xen probably.

      I assume what you’re looking for specifically here is a complete platform that you can install on bare-metal, not just the actual hypervisor itself. In which case consider any of these:

      • Proxmox
      • XCP-NG
      • Windows Hyper-V Server Core (basically Windows Server Nano with Hyper-V)
      • Any Linux distro running KVM/QEMU - Add Cockpit if you need a web interface, or use Virt-Manager, either directly or over X-forwarding

        No need for X forwarding, you can connect Virt-Manager to a remote system that has libvirt,

      I’m not sure why you’re getting down voted, you’re right. I’m not sure if anyone would run Proxmox for their enterprise hypervisor? I mean HyperV is okay. Slim pickings for big orgs. I know there’s Nutanix, but most folks are moving to the big three for VMs and hosting.

        I am running proxmox at a moderately sized corp. The lack of a real support contract almost kills it, which is too bad because it is a decent product
