Proxmox ports itself to Arm with help from Nvidia and Supermicro
VMware competitor aiming for the AI datacenter
Proxmox Server Solutions has unveiled an Arm-based version of its open-source Proxmox virtualization stack, with the assistance of Nvidia and Supermicro. The company announced that its flagship Virtual Environment is now compatible with 64-bit ARM (arm64/aarch64) architecture, supported primarily on Nvidia’s Grace Hopper and Vera servers.
Although other UEFI-based ARMv9-A and newer hardware platforms are partially supported, Proxmox assures “best-effort support” and claims ARMv8-A compatibility is generally seamless. The release is aimed at organizations building energy-efficient data centers, targeting customers who demand server virtualization for their AI infrastructure.
While Nvidia and Supermicro are major players in the market, there are few enterprise server vendors producing Arm-based servers. Proxmox is not the only one supporting server virtualization on Arm; Chinese virtualization player Sangfor, SUSE, and open-source hypervisors Xen and KVM also support the platform.
