VIENNA, Austria – December 04, 2025 –Enterprise software developer Proxmox Server Solutions GmbH (henceforth “Proxmox”) today announced the immediate availability of the stable version 1.0 of Proxmox Datacenter Manager. This new product directly addresses the increasing complexity of operating distributed and large-scaled Proxmox-based environments. Proxmox Datacenter Manager offers a holistic single pane of glass view for the administration, monitoring, and scaling of Proxmox VE and Proxmox Backup Server, with the primary goal of providing administrators with comprehensive and seamless control.

Managing growing data centers, distributed across multiple locations or clusters, consistently presents major challenges for enterprises and teams. A lack of global oversight, fragmented metrics, and the need to perform complex operations manually across various environments can quickly lead to inefficiencies and increased error susceptibility.

Proxmox Datacenter Manager was developed as the strategic answer to this scaling challenge. It bridges the gap between individual Proxmox-based nodes and clusters, providing a unified view of the entire infrastructure. This not only simplifies routine tasks but also enables advanced functionalities that were previously difficult to achieve.

Highlights of Proxmox Datacenter Manager 1.0

Proxmox Datacenter Manager delivers a set of core functions specifically designed for managing complex, enterprise-grade environments:

• Centralized overview and metrics aggregation: Users can connect multiple Proxmox “remotes” (nodes and clusters) and gain a real-time, consolidated overview from a single dashboard. The consolidated dashboard displays the global health status of all Proxmox VE clusters and Proxmox Backup Server instances. It aggregates critical resource usage, including CPU, RAM, and storage I/O, and provides an immediate view of critical key performance indicators (KPIs) and performance metrics to identify bottlenecks and potential issues early on. Data is cached locally, maintaining offline visibility of the last known state.
• Dynamic, role-based custom views: With customizable dashboards, IT teams can create highly filtered, targeted overviews based on specific remotes, resource types, or operational tags. Crucially, the Proxmox Datacenter Manager leverages its native role-based access control (RBAC) to grant users access to these tailored views without providing direct access to the underlying virtual machines or hosts. This functionality ensures granular permission management and delivers need-to-know transparency across diverse teams and multi-tenant environments.
• Multi-cluster management: Seamlessly connect to and manage independent Proxmox-based clusters and standalone nodes.
• Cross-cluster live migration: One of the most prominent features is the capability for the live migration of VMs between different clusters. This empowers administrators to perform responsive load shifts and maintenance work without downtime.
• Basic VM & container life-cycle management for virtual infrastructure: Routine administrative tasks such as starting, stopping, or configuring VMs, containers, and storage resources can be executed directly from the central interface. Further, with the included native Role-Based Access Control (RBAC), Proxmox Datacenter Manager allows to precisely manage user permissions and centralize task histories and logs to simplify auditing and meeting compliance requirements.
• Powerful search functionality: Version 1.0 comes with a highly intuitive and powerful search functionality. Inspired by query languages like those used in Elasticsearch and GitHub, administrators can instantly filter and locate resources. Data can be filtered by resource type (remote, VM, container), status (stopped, running, etc.) or by custom tags, therefore ensuring that even in infrastructures managing thousands of virtual guests, critical resources and diagnostic data are found with unprecedented speed and precision.
• Centralized SDN capabilities (EVPN): The platform features support for Software-Defined Networking (SDN), enabling the configuration of EVPN zones and VNets across multiple remotes from a single interface, simplifying complex network overlays and network administration in highly scaled environments.
• Centralized update management: Proxmox Datacenter Manager introduces a central Update Management Panel that gives administrators an instant overview of all available updates across their entire Proxmox VE and Proxmox Backup Server infrastructure. Updates can be rolled out directly from the Datacenter Manager interface, simplifying patch management and strengthening the overall security posture. In addition, Datacenter Manager provides unified, secure shell access to all managed remotes from a single console.
• Open-source software stack: Proxmox Datacenter Manager is based on Debian 13.2 “Trixie”, uses a newer Linux kernel version 6.17 as stable default, and includes ZFS 2.3. Furthermore, its core software stack is written in the high-performance Rust programming language, with a responsive user interface built upon the new Rust/Yew Proxmox UI framework, delivering enhanced speed and an optimal user experience.

"The modern infrastructure landscape demands adaptability, from data centers to edge locations. Organizations need tools that evolve alongside their business. Proxmox Datacenter Manager is designed as a key building block within our expanding ecosystem, empowering customers with the right solution for every stage of their journey", says Tim Marx, COO at Proxmox. "By choosing the Proxmox ecosystem, organizations unlock a wide range of deployment options. From high-performance setups at hyperscalers to distributed branch offices that maintain data sovereignty. Our consistent commitment to openness ensures long-term interoperability and real freedom of choice for customers and partners."

Availability

Proxmox Datacenter Manager 1.0 is immediately available for download. Users can obtain a complete installation image via ISO download, which contains the full feature-set of the solution and can be installed quickly on bare-metal systems using an intuitive installation wizard.

Seamless distribution upgrades from older versions of Proxmox Datacenter Manager are possible using the standard APT package management system. Furthermore, it is also possible to install Proxmox Datacenter Manager on top of an existing Debian installation. As Free/Libre and Open Source Software (FLOSS), the entire solution is published under the GNU AGPLv3.

VIENNA, Austria – November 26, 2025 – Leading open-source server solutions provider Proxmox Server Solutions GmbH (henceforth "Proxmox"), today announced the release of Proxmox Backup Server 4.1. This update is based on Debian 13.2 “Trixie”, bringing the latest Debian release with refreshed packages, better hardware support, and enhanced security. Proxmox Backup Server 4.1 ships with Linux kernel 6.17 as the new stable default and includes ZFS 2.3 for reliable, enterprise-grade storage. The release also delivers major improvements in traffic control, verification performance, and S3-based backup operations.

Highlights in Proxmox Backup Server 4.1

User-based traffic limiting for optimized bandwidth control

Proxmox Backup Server 4.1 extends the existing traffic control capabilities, which already allow administrators to limit backup and restore traffic for specific client networks. With this release, traffic control can additionally take the authenticated Proxmox Backup Server user into account. This enables more convenient and fine-grained prioritization of backup and restore workloads, for example by assigning higher backup bandwidth to business-critical services or separating production and test environments at the user level.

Configurable parallelism for verify jobs

Backup snapshot verification is both I/O- and CPU-intensive, as it reads backup data chunks from disk and validates their checksums. With version 4.1, administrators can configure the number of threads used for disk reads and checksum verification in verify jobs. Depending on the hardware and workload, this can significantly reduce verify runtimes and helps balance verification tasks against other resource-intensive operations.

Bandwidth rate limiting for S3 endpoints

Building on the native support for S3-compatible object storage introduced in Proxmox Backup Server 4.0, version 4.1 adds bandwidth rate limiting for S3 endpoints. Administrators can now cap the bandwidth used by backup and restore operations to and from S3 object stores. This helps prevent network congestion between Proxmox Backup Server instances and the object storage infrastructure, especially in shared or bandwidth-constrained environments.

Availability

Proxmox Backup Server 4.1 is immediately available for download. Users can obtain a complete installation image via ISO download, which contains the full feature set of the solution and can be installed quickly on bare-metal systems using an intuitive installation wizard.

Seamless distribution upgrades from older versions of Proxmox Backup Server are possible using the standard APT package management system. Furthermore, it is also possible to install Proxmox Backup Server on top of an existing Debian installation. As Free/Libre and Open Source Software (FLOSS), the entire solution is published under the GNU AGPLv3.

For enterprise users, Proxmox Server Solutions GmbH offers professional support through subscription plans. Pricing for these subscriptions starts at EUR 540 per server per year, including unlimited backup storage and unlimited backup-clients. A subscription provides access to the stable Enterprise Repository with timely updates via the web interface, as well as to certified technical support. It is recommended for production use.

1.21.11 Pre-Release 1 (known as 1.21.11-pre1 in the launcher) is the first pre-release for Java Edition 1.21.11, released on November 19, 2025. Full changelog: https://minecraft.wiki/Java_Edition_1.21.11-pre1

VIENNA, Austria – November 19, 2025 – Leading open-source server solutions provider Proxmox Server Solutions GmbH (henceforth "Proxmox"), today announced the immediate availability of Proxmox Virtual Environment 9.1. The new version introduces significant enhancements across container deployment, virtual machine security, and software-defined networking, offering businesses greater flexibility, performance, and operational control.

Highlights in Proxmox Virtual Environment 9.1

Create LXC containers from OCI images

Proxmox VE 9.1 integrates support for Open Container Initiative (OCI) images, a standard format for container distribution. Users can now download widely-adopted OCI images directly from registries or upload them manually to use as templates for LXC containers. Depending on the image, these containers are provisioned as full system containers or lean application containers. Application containers are a distinct and optimized approach that ensures minimal footprint and better resource utilization for microservices. This new functionality means administrators can now deploy standardized applications (e.g., a specific database or API service) from existing container build pipelines quickly and seamlessly through the Proxmox VE GUI or command line.

Support for TPM state in qcow2 format

This version introduces the ability to store the state of a virtual Trusted Platform Module (vTPM) in the qcow2 disk image format. This allows users to perform full VM snapshots, even with an active vTPM, across diverse storage types like NFS/CIFS. LVM storages with snapshots as volume chains now support taking offline snapshots of VMs with vTPM states. This advancement improves operational agility for security-sensitive workloads, such as Windows deployments that require a vTPM.

Fine-grained control of nested virtualization

Proxmox VE now offers enhanced control for nested virtualization in specialized VMs. This feature is especially useful for workloads such as nested hypervisors or Windows environments with Virtualization-based Security (VBS). A new vCPU flag allows to conveniently and precisely enable virtualization extensions for nested virtualization. This flexible option gives IT administrators more control and offers an optimized alternative to simply exposing the full host CPU type to the guest.

Enhanced SDN status reporting

Version 9.1 comes with an improved Software-Defined Networking (SDN) stack, including detailed monitoring and reporting in the web interface. The GUI now offers more visibility into the SDN stack, displaying all guests connected to local bridges or VNets. EVPN zones additionally report the learned IPs and MAC addresses. Fabrics are integrated into the resource tree, showing routes, neighbors, and interfaces. The updated GUI offers visibility into key network components like IP-VRFs and MAC-VRFs. This enhanced observability simplifies cluster-wide network troubleshooting and monitoring of complex network topologies, without the need for the command line.

Availability

Proxmox Virtual Environment 9.1 is immediately available for download. Users can obtain a complete installation image via ISO download, which contains the full feature-set of the solution and can be installed quickly on bare-metal systems using an intuitive installation wizard.

Seamless distribution upgrades from older versions of Proxmox Virtual Environment are possible using the standard APT package management system. Furthermore, it is also possible to install Proxmox Virtual Environment on top of an existing Debian installation. As Free/Libre and Open Source Software (FLOSS), the entire solution is published under the GNU AGPLv3.

For enterprise users, Proxmox Server Solutions GmbH offers professional support through subscription plans. Pricing for these subscriptions starts at EUR 115 per year and CPU. A subscription provides access to the stable Enterprise Repository with timely updates via the web interface, as well as to certified technical support and is recommended for production use.
