Proxmox VE is a complete, open-source server management platform for enterprise virtualization. It tightly integrates the KVM hypervisor and Linux Containers (LXC), software-defined storage and networking functionality, on a single platform. With the integrated web-based user interface you can manage VMs and containers, high availability for clusters, or the integrated disaster recovery tools with ease.

One if the things I appreciated about proxmox is that each instance in a cluster provides an interface for all members of the cluster. Thus i would say this concept makes zero sense for a few systems in one place.
Contrast with VMware where you got stuck with vcenter if you had more than a single hypervisor.
vCenter itself wasn't really useful until version 4.x or so. It got a lot more modern at 5.5, the dawn of the recognizable vCenter, but up to that point people considered vCenter optional.
In much the same fashion, this PDM is just a bolt-on addition right now, nearly useless.
But its gonna become a locus for service management, and it will eventually be an integral piece of your cluster.
I would like to see PDM bring new DR replication capabilities to us. Sorely needed.
