I discovered three major issues in the usage scenarios of OpenVZ in the enterprise market:
  1. Installation takes time and needs Linux knowledge
  2. The missing GUI management
  3. And the inability to run unmodified guests like Windows on an OpenVZ host
I also had other wishes like integrated backup and restore, live-migration, central configuration management and integrated virtual appliances download. So I presented this last year to our development team – a few months later, we proudly presents the first release of our Proxmox Virtual Environment.

Now we have the virtualization platform for the enterprise, licensed under GNU GPLv2.

Proxmox VE is the only virtualization platform which can do all of the following on one physical host:
  • Container Virtualization (OpenVZ)
  • Full virtualization (KVM)
  • Para-virtualization (KVM)
We encourage everybody to test Proxmox VE and give feedback, for download and documentation please visit the Proxmox VE Wiki.

GUI!?
Why in the world would you put GUI management on a server? GUI is great for the world of desktops but when you get into servers you need to drop the GUI and learn what the heck you are doing.

Also if you want this product to have even a remote chance at success support architectures other than amd64, all my testing servers are i686 so I can't even test your product. I don't have the resources to deploy this on one of the newer 64 bit machines.

Re: GUI!?
There is no GUI on the server, the management is done via web interface. additionally you can manage everything via CLI (for KVM guests and OpenVZ containers).

32-bit architecture is not suited for virtualization servers, too many limitations.
