The biggest difference? Open Source vs Closed Source.

Hi,
the biggest advantage is, like Tom said before, open source! It's can't repeat often enough.
With proxmox you can:
+ choose the virtualisation (container/full virtualisation)
+ choose the hardware you like (mostly), not the hardware which vmware like
+ use your linux-knowledge
+ do a life migration of a cd-bootet distro (like devil-linux)
+ use a good and fast forum
+ get support ticket (which are cheaper than vmware license fee)
and and and ...

1. Live Migrations without paying 12,000 Dollars a year!!!
2. Central Management "Clustering" without paying 12,000 Dollars a year!!!
3. Simple Linux implemtation (except for the lack of controll of the partitioning scheme)
4. OPEN-SOURCE!!!!! meaning, don't pay 12,000 dollars a year!!! (donations are nice, since these guys put together a great product)

I'm currently moving all my VMs from ESXI/ESX to Proxmox. Great gob guys.
