We are very pleased to announce immediate availability of ConVirt 2.0 Beta! Built on a brand new, 3-tier, repository-based architecture, ConVirt 2.0 incorporates many of our users’ most wanted and anticipated features.
Here are a few highlights:
Grabbing and deploying the Beta couldn’t be simpler – just take a peek at the Appliance Catalogue in your current ConVirt 1.1 installation. 
For more information, or if you do not have an active v1.1 installation, check out the ConVirt 2.0 Beta wiki for instructions on how to get started.
Our main goal with this release is to get your feedback on features, usability, and bugs. We strongly encourage everyone to deploy and use ConVirt 2.0 Beta alongside their current ConVirt installation. We look forward to hearing your experiences at the new 2.0 Beta forums.
Finally, our Beta users will soon get an opportunity to participate in product workshops and webinars. Stay tuned for more information!

We are extremely pleased to announce availability of ConVirt v1.1. Some of the highlights of this release are:
Virtual Network Management
Support for creating isolated and NAT-based networks on managed hosts. Each virtual network can have a pre-defined IP range, with automatic DHCP provisioning of IP’s for all attached VM’s.
Automation using CLI (Preview Edition)
This release of ConVirt includes a preview version of the upcoming ConVirt Command Line Interface. With the ConVirt CLI, most common operations available via the ConVirt GUI may also be executed over the command line. This would enable users to easily script management operations across their ConVirt managed environment as well as integrate these operations with any pre-existing management scripts and processes.

This means that, while we are able to glean most of the community’s needs from forum posts, direct emails and comments, sometimes there is simply no way for the team to make the right call (or settle an internal debate) without asking the community directly. We are hoping that your participation in these new user polls will fill that need.
