Enterprise virtualization with Proxmox Virtual Environment
GDS Africa is a Proxmox Authorized Reseller in Ghana. We design, migrate, subscribe and support the Proxmox platform (Proxmox Virtual Environment, Proxmox Backup Server, Proxmox Mail Gateway and Proxmox Datacenter Manager) for organisations across Ghana and West Africa, and run it for you if you choose.
Proxmox Virtual Environment
One open platform for virtual machines and containers
Proxmox Virtual Environment is a complete, open-source server management platform for enterprise virtualization. It tightly integrates the KVM hypervisor and Linux Containers (LXC), software-defined storage and networking functionality on a single platform.
Unified virtualization
Run both virtual machines (KVM) and lightweight Linux containers (LXC) on a single platform, for maximum workload flexibility and resource efficiency.
High availability & live migration
Built-in high-availability clustering, live migration and automated failover keep workloads running and SLAs met.
Flexible storage stack
Local high-performance storage (ZFS, LVM-Thin), traditional shared storage (NFS, iSCSI/FC SAN) and distributed software-defined storage (Ceph), including hyper-converged setups.
Native data protection
Built-in backup, restore and storage replication, with seamless integration into Proxmox Backup Server for fast, deduplicated recovery.
Software-defined networking & firewall
Software-defined networking and an integrated firewall, configured per cluster, host or virtual machine.
Central web-based management
One web interface (plus CLI and REST API) to manage every node in the cluster, with no separate management server to license.
