Proxmox Virtual Environment (Proxmox VE or PVE) is a virtualization platform designed for the provisioning of hyper-converged infrastructure. Proxmox allows deployment and management of virtual machines and containers. [7] [8] It is based on a modified Debian LTS kernel. [9]
VMware ESXi (formerly ESX) is an enterprise-class, type-1 hypervisor developed by VMware, a subsidiary of Broadcom, for deploying and serving virtual computers.As a type-1 hypervisor, ESXi is not a software application that is installed on an operating system (OS); instead, it includes and integrates vital OS components, such as a kernel.

When multiple VMs are concurrently running on the hard drive of the actual host, adjunct virtual machines may exhibit a varying and/or unstable performance (speed of execution and malware protection). This depends on the data load imposed on the system by other VMs, unless the selected VM software provides temporal isolation among virtual machines.
