Gear up for a deep dive into the world of storage #virtualization!
On Thursday, April 4th, Mitch and Brett will sit down #live with Tom Lawrence from Lawrence Systems to unravel the mysteries of Proxmox v.s. XCP-ng, comparing these platforms side-by-side.

Update Proxmox to version 8.1.10. In datacener storage you will have option to connect VMware esxi host to proxmox and directly import vm-s to proxmox.
I would go with either, but proxmox seems to be a better setup for a homelab. I setup xcp-ng but didn't have much use for it besides just learning it. That said it seems really polished and well thought out
I think that XCP is way better than proxmox on quite few features and design choices, however proxmox has few killer features that make me prefer is for small and mid customers:
– ability to use node just like a normal PC, believe or not I had two customers that used PVE nodes just like normal PC for their engineers, and had a very neat way keeping their work in containers and vm's that neatly was supported by proxmox, and allowed to move work from machine to machine for near raw storage performance etc.
– the ability to seriously lift the bonnet and just mess about with the config to make a very tailored solution to ones needs.
– it's free for all the features, so one can create fully functional test clusters to mess about and discover how stuff can be stretched for ones needs
– being free for home labers without paywalling anything – YES ! I seriously believe that businesses should support normal people that would not otherwise buy their product and I'm glad proxmox figured this one out.
EDIT:
I almost forgot:
– support for an insane myriad of storage configuration that seriously made my life sooooooooo much easier in few deployments to tailor to customer needs.
I would love to see them:
– actually implement something in shape of ceph, for gluster. That would make management of gluster so much easier.
– create some sort of bridge between clusters, or some way of having multiple location cluster … this is something that xcp is unfortunately WAY better at.
For business I would go with xenserver and xencenter as gui. The gui of the orchestra is creepy. In a homelab I choose proxmox.
I love how Tom speaks from a place of authority, and then the 45Drives folks talk amongst themselves, and then start to chat about their stuff. If 45Drives can't see the value in paying Tom to do how-to videos and/or build outs on 45Drives hardware… then I don't know what they're doing. Cheers Tom. <3
Cool! Comparisons are a great way to (re)discover a feature we missed/forgot
Amazing stream, looking forward to another with the definitive experts (top search engine hits) for storage (45 drives), Virtualization (XCP-NG with Tom and Olivier) – 5 stars!
