Proxmox Virtual Environment (Proxmox VE) is an open-source server virtualization platform that integrates KVM hypervisor and LXC containers with powerful web-based management. It supports clustering, high availability, and a wide range of storage solutions, making it ideal for home labs and enterprise environments alike.
