{pve} is a virtualization platform that tightly integrates compute,
|
|
storage and networking resources, manages highly available clusters,
|
|
backup/restore as well as disaster recovery. All components are
|
|
software-defined and compatible with one another.
|
|
|
|
Therefore it is possible to administrate them like a single system via
|
|
the centralized web management interface. These capabilities make
|
|
{pve} an ideal choice to deploy and manage an open source

Benefits of a Hyper-Converged Infrastructure (HCI) with {pve}
|
|
-------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
A hyper-converged infrastructure is especially useful for deployments
|
|
in which a high infrastructure demand meets a low administration
|
|
budget, for distributed setups such as remote and branch office
|
|
environments or for virtual private and public clouds.
|
|
|
|
HCI provides the following advantages:
|
|
|
|
- Scalability: seamless expansion of compute, network and storage
|
|
devices (i.e. scale up servers and storage quickly and independently
|
|
from each other).
|
|
|
|
- Low cost: {pve} is open source and integrates all components you
|
|
need such as compute, storage, networking, backup, and management
|
|
center. It can replace an expensive compute/storage infrastructure.
|
|
|
|
- Data protection and efficiency: services such as backup and disaster
|
|
recovery are integrated.
|
|
|
|
- Simplicity: easy configuration and centralized administration.
|
|
|
|
- Open Source: No vendor lock-in.
