A turn-key virtualization solution for ESXi replacement
Hardware and preinstalled software
Seamless Migration from VMware, training, and support
Following Broadcom's (VMware) decision to significantly reduce its offerings, raise prices, and declare a market strategy centered solely on catering to the needs of its top 600 companies, many users who depended on them for virtualization find themselves in a state of crisis. As they look for a replacement, many are not keen on again becoming dependent on proprietary solutions, just so they can have the rug removed from under them again. Open-source solutions address this risk, and can offer better performance, but often becomes a ‘project’, which is inappropriate and unnecessary for a mature technology in an enterprise environment. Thus, many organizations feel stranded.
At 45Drives, we don't think that's right. That's why we're introducing the Proxinator™, a turn-key solution that integrates virtualization with direct access to high-speed storage. This powerful hardware comes pre-installed with Linux, Proxmox VE, and end-to-end service covering configuration, migration, and ongoing support. This is a ready-to-go solution in a box, with a single point of accountability to keep it all working.
By making the Proxinator™ your choice for ESXi replacement, you get simplicity, performance, and the best experience in configuration, migration, training, and service. You also get to say goodbye to the risk of having sudden changes imposed on you by your vendor. With us, you're in control.

Our instructor-led Open-Source Virtualization training course offers an in-depth understanding of how to effectively administer Proxmox VE within your virtualization environment. Available both remotely (via Zoom or similar platforms) in-person at the 45Drives campus, or at your facility, this one-day course includes 8 hours of instruction carefully split between theoretical concepts and hands-on practical exercises.
Clustering links your servers to create a unified hardware layer managed from a single interface. You can add more capacity to your hardware
layer as you need it, and grow your shares to your users. Your data is always accessible because it is stored redundantly across this layer.
So, if there is downtime (planned or unplanned), you will have another copy.
We provide these features by using Ceph, open-source software that's designed to provide scalable and highly available storage.
When clustering with the Proxinator, you're not just ensuring high availability for your virtual machines with Proxmox VE; you're also safeguarding
your data with Ceph, doubling down on reliability and resilience.
In this educational video, Mitch uses feature comparisons to show why Proxmox VE is a fantastic alternative to ESXi -
especially when comparing vSphere, vCenter, vSAN, Vmotion, and VMware HA with Proxmox VE's direct alternatives.
45Drives' support team has the expertise to help you migrate from your existing ESXi, Hyper-V, or another
virtualization platform, over to Proxmox VE seamlessly and quickly.
Our team will also help guide you in the specification, building, and maintenance of all of your storage and
compute needs whether it is Proxmox VE with ZFS, Ceph, or any other storage deployment you'd like.
At 45Drives, we’ve reinvented the way enterprise storage and virtualization are delivered with our ‘New Enterprise’ model. Like legacy vendors, we provide full solutions - consulting, architecture, hardware, software, configuration, and support. But unlike legacy vendors, our open, non-proprietary model eliminates the risk of lock-in contracts.
