Understanding Software Defined Networking with @ProxmoxVE - Combining Virtualization and Storage
Every second week, we will be releasing a tech tip video that will give users information on various topics relating to our storage products. For this week, Mitch takes a deeper dive into Proxmox and the Proxinator by looking at the state of Software Defined Networking and what can be accomplished when utilizing this feature inside Proxmox's network stack. For a better understanding of Proxmox vs ESXi, Mitch recently talked about feature comparisons to show why Proxmox is a fantastic alternative to ESXi - especially when comparing vSphere, vCenter, vSAN, Vmotion and VMware HA with Proxmox's direct alternatives.
