Will Dell ever support proxmox

Hello

I'm very intrested in Proxmox and I've installed it on my environment.

The biggest problem in the customer proposition  is the lack of support from DELL hardware.

Many company moved to Proxmox and I think it can be a good business. This forum has a lot of request in Proxmox integration with Dell.

Dell support Ubuntu and Ubuntu Server (based on Debian like Proxmox).

Will Dell ever support Proxmox ?

My best regards

    Hello,

     

    Dell has not validated Proxmox VE as an approved operating system for the PowerEdge servers.

     

    You can find which OS's your PowerEdge supports here:

     

    https://www.dell.com/support/home/en-us/drivers/SupportedOS/poweredge-r520

     

    Replace the r520 at the end to R640, R750…. Whichever server you are working with.

    Hello,

     

    Dell doesn't support Proxmox and I don't have any information that it will.

    You're welcome to discuss it in the Community but I'm sorry, Dell doesn't support it.

    Question: Does the community consider ProxMox as an option to build virtual environments replacing VMware ?

    Thanks

    Hello Charles thanks for your answer.

    I can only hope that DELL takes into consideration the support of Proxmox.

    Proxmoxt is starting to have a good market (at least in Europe).

    Hello

    I'm joining this conversation because we're evaluating alternatives to vmware and Proxmox seems to be very interesting for SMB.

    Anyway If Dell is not supporting it on PowerEdge servers we are cannot propose it to the customers so they will prefer public cloud migration. Some customers have already taken this decision so Dell has lost some sales (we sell public cloud migration and maintenance, so for us it's the same).

    I think Dell should think about it.
