Hello Peter, that is some good information right there - i installed proxmox 2.0 rc1 yesterday afternoon on a workstation computer, for testing, and i am currently looking at the performance. Would you please be more specific about the configuration of the machine you are using? ie cpu model, disk / controller configuration, installed nics, etc.. A private reply would be enough! The solution i am looking for will determine the hardware i will be ordering, so i am concerned about it right now. How should i consider technologies like KVM and openVZ regarding stability? I'm talking about downtimes and maintenance time. I heard multiple opinions on xen being a bad thing to work with, both performance wise and stability wise. I wouldn't want to set this "private cloud" up only to discover it's not production ready! I am also wondering how i will be able to deal with storage and multiple nodes: how does proxmox behave on the matter? In case the main machine goes down i would be pretty screwed, wouldn't i? I guess that since proxmox is debian derivate i could eventually have a separate machine for storage and just mount a remote share through fuse and use that, but i'm open for suggestions. -- Davide Mirtillo -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
