For years, Proxmox Virtual Environment (Proxmox VE) lived in a kind of “in-between land”: too powerful to be dismissed as a lab tool, yet still lacking the commercial gravity of the biggest names in virtualization. In 2025, that balance has broken. This open-source platform has solidified as a real — and in many cases preferred
In any modern infrastructure, backups are no longer a “nice to have”, but a structural component on the same level as storage or networking. When you work with Proxmox VE clusters, HA solutions, and mission-critical workloads, having a backup solution designed specifically for this ecosystem is what makes the difference between a fast recovery and
The Proxmox ecosystem has just taken an important step forward with the release of Proxmox Datacenter Manager 1.0, the first stable version of its centralized management platform. The tool is designed to solve a very specific problem: how to operate, monitor, and scale dozens of Proxmox VE nodes and clusters and Proxmox Backup Server instances
On a normal day, everything looks fine: the website is fast, APIs are calm, and monitoring dashboards stay in comfortable ranges. Then a big newsletter goes out, a paid campaign performs better than expected, or Black Week (Black Friday and Cyber Monday) kicks off. Suddenly traffic spikes and you quickly see whether your infrastructure is
AWS’s October 20 outage reminded us of a simple truth: resilience can’t be improvised. High availability (HA) within a single region helps, but it doesn’t replace a plan B that keeps services running when the common element too many components depend on fails (region, control plane, DNS, queues, identity, etc.). This guide lays out a
At Stackscale, as specialists in private cloud infrastructure based on Proxmox VE, we’ve witnessed firsthand how Proxmox VE Helper-Scripts are changing the way organizations deploy and manage their systems. From our data centers in Spain and the Netherlands, we’ve seen this grassroots tool evolve into a vital asset for thousands of sysadmins. This is the
The Linux Foundation, through LF Energy, has released SEAPATH 1.0, an open-source hypervisor designed for the virtualization of digital power substations under the IEC 61850 standard. This solution marks a significant advancement in modernizing the energy sector, providing a secure, scalable, and high-performance environment for managing power grids. The increasing decentralization of power generation and
Deploying DeepSeek on Dedicated Servers and Private Cloud Generative AI and machine learning have revolutionized how businesses process and analyze data. DeepSeek-R1, an open-source AI model, stands out for its advanced reasoning capabilities, resource optimization, and security, as it runs locally. By combining Ollama with Stackscale’s infrastructure, organizations can deploy DeepSeek-R1 on bare-metal dedicated servers
In the world of computing, central processing units (CPUs) have long been the cornerstone of computational power, driving everything from personal computers and dedicated servers to public and private clouds and a wide range of electronic devices. However, with the rapid growth of artificial intelligence (AI) and the increasing complexity of web hosting platforms, bare-metal
The ARM architecture, long known for its dominance in mobile devices, is making a significant leap into new technological areas. Recent data indicates a growing trend in the adoption of ARM in other fields, such as data centers, challenging traditional conceptions about its use. According to the latest statistics, over 12% of PCs sold today
