The virtual datacenter management platform

Provision, manage, and monitor hosts, hypervisors, virtual machines, storage, and network

The oVirt Project is an open virtualization project for anyone who cares about Linux-based KVM virtualization. Providing a feature-rich server virtualization management system with advanced capabilities for hosts and guests, including high availability, live migration, storage management, system scheduler, and more.

By open we mean open source & open governance, done right.

oVirt is an comprehensive ecosystem of projects delivering a complete integrated platform on a well defined release schedule. These are components designed and tested to work together.

In addition oVirt provides a crucial venue for user and developer cooperation, and is the first truly open and comprehensive data centre virtualization management initiative.

虚拟数据中心管理平台

部署、管理、和监控主机、 hypervisors、 虚拟机、存储及网络

oVirt 项目是一个开放的虚拟化项目，面向那些关注基于linux系统的KVM虚拟化的人群。该项目为主机和客户机提供特性丰富且功能强大的服务器虚拟化管理系统，具体包括高可用性，实时迁移，存储管理，系统调度管理等。

开放意味着我们开放源代码和开放管理。

此外，oVirt为用户及开发者互助提供了重要场所，并且第一个倡议提出了真正开放和全面的数据中心虚拟化管理。

The 2nd oVirt community workshop was held successfully in Beijing on 21st March. More than 100 developers across the world gathered in Beijing to share their experience in oVirt development. It is worth mentioning that, this workshop also drew a lot of customers' attention and made them interested in adopting oVirt open virtualization technology, including HUAWEI, MEITUAN and so on.

Director of IBM CSTL, Thomas Gosller prospected the future of open virtualization and gave a warm welcome to guests. Distinguished engineer of IBM, Mrs Wang Shou Hui spoken for how open virtualization is widely used in IBM's products. Carl Trieloff, technical director of Redhat CTL, and Li Shao Fan, manager from Intel also elaborated on their strategies in open virtualization.

Itamar Heim introduced the architecture and rich features of oVirt. Adam Litke from IBM gave a presentation on MOM and showed its capability to leverage limited resources to do more virtualization tasks. Wan Qi Xiang described oVirt node architecture and its design details. Ayal Baron and Doron Fediuck gave presentations about project design and usage details about vdsm and oVirt engine core respectively. These topics raised heated debates and received warm responses.
This workshop got a high evaluation from audiences, attracted more developers to participate in the oVirt ecosystem and also gave customers strong confidence to adopt this open technology.
