Proxmox VE 3.1 released!

We just released Proxmox VE 3.1, introducing great new features and services. We included SPICE, GlusterFS storage plugin and the ability to apply updates via GUI (including change logs).

As an additional service for our commercial subscribers, we introduce the Proxmox VE Enterprise Repository. This is the default and recommended repository for production servers.

To access the Enterprise Repository, each Proxmox VE Server needs a valid Subscription Key - these subscriptions start now at EUR 4,16 per months (was EUR 9,90).

There is no change in licensing (AGPL v3), also packages for non-subscribers are still available.

A big Thank-you to our active community for all feedback, testing, bug reporting and patch submissions.

We just released our first Proxmox VE 2.0 beta (ISO)!

Based on the experience with our stable Proxmox VE 1.x series (available since more than 3 years, more than 20.000 installations) we created a complete new architecture to remove all limitations of the current 1.x releases.

As a commitment to Free Software (FOSS), we also opened today the code repository (git) and bug tracker for the 2.x code base for all.

The CONSTANTINUS Award has become the leading national award for knowledge-based services in Austria and has been recognized by the Austrian Federal Government as the sole qualifying process for the Federal State Award (Staatspreis) 'Consulting/Knowledge based services'.

Proxmox VE is nominated in the category "Open Source".

Information in German:

Der Constantinus Award ist Österreichs großer IT- und Beraterpreis, der heuer bereits zum siebenten Mal verliehen wird. Mitglieder des Fachverbandes Unternehmensberatung und IT (UBIT) konnten ab Februar 2009 ihre besten Beratungsprojekte in den fünf Kategorien Informationstechnologie, Kommunikation & Netzwerke, Management Consulting, Open Source und Personal & Training einreichen.

Erstmals wird in diesem Jahr in Kooperation mit "u19 - freestyle computing" der Ars Electronica auch die Auszeichnung "Junior Constantinus" für herausragende Projekte des IT-Nachwuchses vergeben. Mit 147 Einreichungen wurde heuer ein Teilnahmerekord verzeichnet, der zeigt, dass sich der Constantinus als fixe Größe der österreichischen Beraterszene etabliert hat und in Zeiten unsicherer Konjunkturprognosen noch an Bedeutung gewonnen hat.

Updated Cyan Secure Web (1.6.4) and Acquia Drupal (1.2.8) Appliances

We just released two updated Appliances for Proxmox VE:

• Acquia_Drupal (based on Debian Lenny)
• CYAN Secure Web (based on Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy)

What is special here?

Both appliances are built and tested from the Proxmox team but also tested and certified from the vendor - Acquia and Cyan Networks. For both appliances you need a commercial subscription but therefore you have support from the Proxmox platform and the application vendor - that's a big advantage and one reason why software from Redmond is so successful in the enterprise world. With Proxmox VE you can also get this with open source based Linux software.

We used the Debian_Appliance_Builder to create both and we encourage other open source and commercial Linux application vendors to jump in into this successful way to distribute software to the enterprise.
