Now Proxmox is ready for business! Meet the Proxinator from 45Drives!

Wicked Cool!

YESS YESSS !!!!!

I wish we could get this in a home lab version. I think it's super slick.. I just can't afford it for home lab...

My employer was looking at Proxmox as a VMware replacement and there are US-based Proxmox support and licensing partners. We did not end up going with Proxmox (much to my chagrin, as the vendor chosen has been consistently under-delivering), but from my conversations with the one partner we evaluated, they would be first line of support for any issues that came up. Anything they could not figure out would be escalated through a direct line to Proxmox in Europe. This covered regular business hours in the US, and when the question of outside or late-night hours came up, well wouldn't you know it, that's when Proxmox's business hours were open to us. The partner agreement allowed for escalation to Proxmox during those times. Again, we never got to try this out, but there may be solutions out there for enterprises looking to move to Proxmox.

pricing?

Nice one...

Is this a a custom built for only you?

Cause in their website, the CPU is not on the 8004 AMD EPYC series, nor does it have dual PSUs etc.

Oh you better start selling this case individually, 45Drives

They should really offer that chassis for 45hl, I know a lot of people including myself who would love to get their hands on it. Nice build btw, it's nice to see Siena boards actually available finally.

only gripe I have with this is the 16x extension cable its not up to pcie 4.0 spec even.
Wish they would have opted for a 16x slot which gets conencted via the same MCIO Cables as the backplane for the Drives.
It saves on money it is esier to maintain should another cable be needed and they already need to buy the cable anyway. Overall would have been a better souloution which is easier to cable manage

Not a sponsored video, but sounds like an add.

Can’t watch these videos. I can never afford these storinators. Sigh

Nice

Interesting. I posted a comment before and now it's gone. This isn't an enterprise solution that will scale. It seems like a small business or prosumer solution.

@craftcomputing is this your brainchild that you’ve been hinting at?

The last thing Proxmox needs to do well for me is vGPU. That's my only showstopper right now

what u.3 is 7mm? Actually curious? I would never use any consumer grade SSDs...not even for my desktop. EDIT, nevermind...small 7.68 ones. I'd be wanting 15.36tb min, but preferably 30tb drives.

premises - noun

a house or building, together with its land and outbuildings, occupied by a business or considered in an official context.
"business premises"


premise - noun

a previous statement or proposition from which another is inferred or follows as a conclusion.

The setup is solid, but I do wish it could accommodate 15mm U.3 drives.

Not an appliance, yet!

Great! Where i can buy It in Italy?

Hopefully they sell them like hot cakes and make Proxmox even better.

Did anyone see pricing mentioned?

Proxmox one node? so need downtime for updates / reboots?

But vmware is dieing with the new ownership and they removed an lot of hardware from the driver list.

I dont understand what is great about. The chassis may look great, but this cannot compeat with any Server from Dell/HP even something like a Selfbuild rs520a-e12-rs12u or 24u.
Proxmox is Amazing, but Proxmox has no working Numa, which is Critical for Enterprise. (There is the Option for Numa, but it never worked).
Another thing is, that Proxmox has Amazing Enterprise Support and i would definitively Prefer direct support from Proxmox which develops the Software and have better understanding of, instead of 45Drives.
Im sorry but this Video is either extremely Sponsored, or you are an extreme Fanboy of 45 Drives. So its simply missleading.
Im not against the Company, 45Drives has great Products. Im just against this Video.
Cheers

Power button on the back!? Why??

Damn this is awesome! Though I wish it had support for full-width spindle HDDs.

This is awesome. Man I wish I could get one.

45 drives makes some nice stuff - too nice for me :-) I do have a bunch of Supermicro boxes now, and I'd say 45 Drives stuff is built much nicer, but the supermicro motherboards are gold. This one is a nice standalone or edge compute box due to those NIC's - which I'm betting are very difficult to saturate but I'd be willing to try. But Ceph is where you want to be with proxmox as a distributed SAN is crazy powerful - I have four nodes now in my ceph cluster for about 80TB of total storage available to all the nodes, and 7 "small" cluster nodes in HA configuration for lower-power Docker images, 1 "big" server box that honestly could run it all but would be hot and power hungry so it's just running large-memory tasks where 512GB of RAM is useful. And one AI server with quad 4060 ti's and whole lot of CPU and a power bill to match. But none of the main compute servers have much of local storage, it's all on ceph or various NFS/CMB mounted NAS boxes. It's just awesome to be able to reboot a box or take it down for maintenance and ... nothing happens. No impact. Maybe a brief pause as the VM's shuffle a bit and come up on another box. I could run Kubernetes across the cluster and have "many 9's" uptime, but I haven't needed or had time for that yet. Maybe soon!

meh this was just a commercial

Love watching videos of hardware that will be obsolete before I could ever afford it

I really enjoy your videos however I've been working in the enterprise data center space for over twenty years. We have conversations with multi billion dollar organizations no one is talking about deploying Proxmox. All I hear is Hyper-V due to most orgs already having an EA in place with MS. Also, this has accelerated a migration to services like AWS, Azure, GCP, and AWS. Like I always say learn skills that translate to making money meaning don't waste time on products like Proxmox focus on Vmware, Hyper-V, and clound technologies.

Dude your wearing a hat indoors.......... can anyone take you seriously. And that thing is way overkill, 99% of people will never want that......... and again enterprise, using ProxMox mmmmmm no.

Would love too see it fully maxed

Nice kit. Heck the IPMI interface looks modern and soft compared to Proxmox. Isn't it time for a refresh Proxmox? I dunno, I'm coming from vSphere 8.

design choice with the power/reset button on the rear? We would never be able to use this in all of our colos or customer sites for production. Is the GPU power redundant?

❤❤

I don't see the video on how you configured the SDN networks ???

We just ordered a server at $253,000

R u gay?

Until Prox Mark support Citrix it’s not ready for business

The Proxmox Enterprise version is also not for free😡

This is a game changer for Proxmox in Business and Enterprise. One component I'm not sure is baked out yet is Firmware and Driver updates automations like we would get with HPE SPP or Dell OME. Does 45drives offer any kind of FWUPD repo that can keep step with the hardware and Proxmox compatibility side. If not that could really complete the picture. Great video!!

They could have made this a bit shorter by going 3u and shorter psu. Would have had more options for SMBs running shorter depth racks.

An epyc 4004 shorter depth verison would be great for mom pop shops.

This starts at 12k USD? That seems a bit much for what youre getting here...

Personally working in a fortune 500 company's datacenter I can't see Proxmox ever being used in a large corporate environment.
