Proxmox and cloud management

[amateo]

Hello,

I am a system manager with more than 30 xen servers at this moment. All of these servers are individually managed, but now we are going to centralize storage on a SAN and we are looking for a solution that provides a simple central management of all the virtualization servers and vm servers.

One of my requirements is to manage vm in pools not in physical server, so we can easilly move vm from one server to another and not to worry about where a vm is running.

Although we have now Xen, I haven't found a a free open source solution for these (at least, one that I like), so I don't mind migrating to proxmox/openvz/kvm.

Does proxmos satisfy these requirements?

Thanks in advance.

I think you could be quite happy with Proxmox VE. But as always, you really need to go for a test cycle to make sure everything works. If you miss something, there should be a way to enhance the needed functionality.

So I recommend you install 2 Proxmox VE boxes and use a SAN as storage for testing.
