What is oVirt?

● Large scale, centralized management for server and desktop virtualization

● Based on leading performance, scalability and security infrastructure technologies

● Focus on KVM for best integration/performance

● Provides an open source alternative to vCenter/vSphere


Single host environment


Single cluster environment


Multiple datacenter environment


Functionality

● Control every aspect of your data center– Host deployments

– Virtual networking configuration

– Storage configuration

– Resilience policies

– Quotas & QoS

● Control every aspect of the VM– Storage & networking

– High availability

– Fine tuning


Releases

● Recent releases– 3.3.2: December 2013

– 3.3.3: February 2014

– 3.3.4: March 2014
