Proxmox box sees fresh dedicated hardware become part of the market for Virtzilla alternatives

The machines support SATA, SAS and NvME drives, with mechanical disks able to blend with solid state devices.

A unified disk controller will make the move easy, he pledged, for those unfamiliar with managing NvME. And as the Proxinator allows replacement of SAS and SATA disks with NvME, users won't be cut off from the latest storage options.the Proxinator will boot Proxmox once you turn it on. For $2,499, 45Drives will configure, setup, and test the box to your liking, and migrate virtual machines from a vSphere rig.

Parent company Protocase specializes in just-in-time manufacturing for the defense and aerospace sectors and has lent its expertise and scale to 45 Drives, which employs around 60 of the group's 400-plus staff. 45Drives has revenue of around $100 million.'s readers speak very highly of Proxmox, though analysts of our acquaintance worry that the project's developers are hard to reach – even by the standards of FOSS efforts.

The likes of Scale Computing and iXsystems also ship hardware running open source hyperconverged stacks, and have a far longer track record than 45Drives.
