# Proxmox Virtual Environment

**Proxmox Virtual Environment (PVE)** is the software platform used by the [[universitatsrechenzentrum-urz]] to provide its central server virtualization infrastructure.

It enables the university to offer users the ability to operate and administer their own root servers. The URZ implementation provides management of these resources through an HTML5 WebGUI, including console access to the virtual machines.
