Comparison of virtualization feature set: XCP-NG (Vates) vs PVE (Proxmox) -- VMware migration decision

[floh8]

Many people search for a comparison between the last affordable virtualization solution in the market Proxmox PVE and xcp-ng. Lawrence Systems offers a good but incomplete summary. So here are a more detailed feature comparison of these both hypervisor solutions.



From my perspective

killer feature of PVE:

• integraded HCI with ceph
• zfs-over-iscsi storage
• integraded firewall for host and VMs
• awesome gui with most functions

killer feature of xcp-ng:

• stability
• snapshot space efficiency for block storage
• 24/7 support
• complete load balancing
• VM backup with important functions

Hi. I don't quite understand this particular position in the comparison:

"costs for 3 nodes: PVE: 115 e pro socket / year; XCP-ng: free [...] ".

Am I wrong that a plan with a support is not free for XCP-ng, too?

xcp-np supports XOStor (drbd.) regardless of how you feel about drbd, it is fully supported.

snapshot space efficiency for block storage

please explain. I am unfamiliar with this.

Not sure where OP got that from; https://vates.tech/en/pricing-and-support/

Gluster isn't supported any more since PVE 9
