Proxmox and Virtuozzo are both virtualization platforms that support KVM (Kernel-based Virtual Machine) and provide container-based virtualization (LXC for Proxmox, Virtuozzo Containers). They offer centralized management via web interface and support live migration of virtual machines. Both products target enterprise and service providers.

But Proxmox (available since 2008) is Austria-based software. It's an open-source alternative to VMware or Hyper-V with a subscription model for access to enterprise repositories. It natively supports ZFS (Zettabyte File System) for storage management. Proxmox is very flexible and supports third-party storage and networking tools.

Virtuozzo (2000) is proprietary software with a focus on service providers and enterprise hosting deployments as it offers both virtualization and cloud infrastructure suite. It's known for integrated container technology optimized for the Cloud. It also includes integrated backup, storage and disaster recovery features out-of-the-box.
