Proxmox VE 2.0 beta released!

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

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.

As more or less everything is new, it's quite impossible to list all in a short announcement so I just add important links:

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

We just released two updated Appliances for Proxmox VE:

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.
