Proxmox Server Solutions GmbH, provider of the open source server virtualization platform Proxmox Virtual Environment (Proxmox VE), is one of the seven new members joining the Linux Foundation, a nonprofit organization dedicated to accelerating the growth of Linux and collaborative development.

By joining the Linux Foundation, Proxmox is reinforcing its commitment to the hypervisor KVM (Kernel-based Virtual Machine). Within the Linux Foundation, Proxmox will continue its engagement with the Open Virtualization Alliance (OVA), since October 2013 a Linux Foundation Collaborative Project to promote KVM.

“Proxmox VE, our open source complete virtualization management solution combines KVM and containers on one platform, and counts more than 55.000 global installments,” Martin Maurer from Proxmox said in a statement. “I think that we are doing a great job promoting the hypervisor KVM and we’re excited to continue fostering the awareness of open virtualization together with the OVA and the Linux Foundation. Our goal is to promote KVM as the open enterprise-class virtualization solution.”
