=== Proxmox ===
Proxmox VE is a complete open-source platform for all-inclusive enterprise virtualization that tightly integrates KVM hypervisor and LXC containers, software-defined storage and networking functionality on a single platform, and easily manages high availability clusters and disaster recovery tools with the built-in web management interface.
=====System Requirements=====
For production servers, high quality server equipment is needed. Proxmox VE supports clustering, this means that multiple Proxmox VE installations can be centrally managed thanks to the integrated cluster functionality. Proxmox VE can use local storage like (DAS), SAN, NAS, as well as shared, and distributed storage (Ceph).
=====Recommended Hardware=====
* Intel EMT64 or AMD64 with Intel VT/AMD-V CPU flag.
* Memory, minimum 2 GB for OS and Proxmox VE services. Plus designated memory for guests. For Ceph or ZFS additional memory is required, approximately 1 GB memory for every TB used storage.
* Fast and redundant storage, best results with SSD disks.
* OS storage: Hardware RAID with batteries protected write cache (“BBU”) or non-RAID with ZFS and SSD cache.
* VM storage: For local storage use a hardware RAID with battery backed write cache (BBU) or non-RAID for ZFS. Neither ZFS nor Ceph are compatible with a hardware RAID controller. Shared and distributed storage is also possible.
* Redundant Gbit NICs, additional NICs depending on the preferred storage technology and cluster setup – 10 Gbit and higher is also supported.
* For PCI(e) passthrough a CPU with VT-d/AMD-d CPU flag is needed.
=====Minimum Hardware=====
* CPU: 64bit (Intel EMT64 or AMD64)
* Intel VT/AMD-V capable CPU/Mainboard (for KVM Full Virtualization support)
* Minimum 1 GB RAM
* Hard drive
* One NIC
