  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,

        This is true, but not everyone gets to use a linux system as their main desktop at work. I’m not aware of a windows version of virt-manager, but if that exists it would be fucking rad.

    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
