Take a look at Arsalan’s (our CEO) thoughts on Xen/KVM in today’s Linux Journal.
The fact that Xen is now in the Linux kernel is a cause for celebration. Customers who want to work with a virtualization solution now have a choice of not one, but two, solid virtualization tools for Linux. This proves once and for all that Linux is not only a viable cloud virtualization platform, it is in reality the more desirable platform for use in the cloud.
Jason Brooks at eWeek recently took ConVirt Enterprise for a spin in their labs. In a series of two articles, Jason reports on his experience, ultimately concluding:
“Convirt Enterprise worked as advertised in my tests, and is well worth evaluating sites in search of management solutions for Linux-based virtualization hosts.”
Don’t miss out on the original articles.
Jason does a fantastic job of putting ConVirt through the wringer. We are thrilled that Jason came away impressed!
Yes that’s right! Just tell us how you use ConVirt in your environment by taking our user survey, and we will give one lucky winner a brand spanking new iPad 2 (Wi-Fi 16GB)!
Just head on over to our user survey HERE, and don’t forget to register for the giveaway at the end.
We’ve always relied on the ConVirt Community to tell us where they’d like us to go next, so whatever you tell us in the survey will have an immediate impact on ConVirt’s direction in upcoming releases … so don’t be shy, speak up!
Once again, the survey is located here. Lets hear from you!
We are pleased to announce ConVirt Enterprise Beta with Cloud centric Features. With this release of ConVirt, IT administrators can manage virtual machines in any of the following environments using a single solution
ConVirt allows declaring Virtual Data Center using which, administrators can use capacity from Private and Public Clouds. The following operations are available in this release.
For more information about functionality and screenshots, please visit installation and documentation pages.
We encourage anyone using UEC/Eucalyptus and Amazon EC2 clouds along side their virtual infrastructure to participate in this Beta.

ConVirt 2.0 Enterprise brings powerful management capabilities to Eucalyptus-based cloud environments
SAN FRANCISCO, February 3, 2011 – Convirture, maker of Linux and open source-based virtualization management software, has partnered with Eucalyptus Systems, creators of the leading independent private cloud platform, to deliver enterprise-grade private cloud management capabilities to Eucalyptus users and customers. The agreement calls for the two companies to work together to integrate ConVirt 2.0 Enterprise with Eucalyptus open source software and Eucalyptus Enterprise Edition (EE) , as well as cooperate on sales, marketing and support activities.
As open source-based private clouds become more widely deployed in enterprise data centers, the need increases for a sophisticated management toolset. ConVirt 2.0 Enterprise provides Eucalyptus private cloud users with management capabilities that were previously only available on closed-source products.
ConVirt software manages virtual and private-cloud environments based on open platforms such as Linux, Xen and KVM. ConVirt 2.0 Enterprise provides advanced automation and scalability features for use in large and/or mission-critical environments, including high availability, backup and recovery, storage and network automation, and enterprise-grade security. It also includes tools and features for managing hosted and private clouds.
“Convirture’s software provides sophisticated management capabilities that will help further drive adoption of open source-based private clouds in the enterprise,” said Matt Reid, vice president of sales and marketing at Eucalyptus Systems. “With the open source Convirture software and Eucalyptus, a wide range of users will be able to deploy and manage powerful on-premise clouds, and we are pleased to include Convirture in the growing Eucalyptus partner ecosystem.”
Eucalyptus is infrastructure software that enables organizations to deploy scalable private and hybrid cloud computing environments within a secure IT infrastructure. With Eucalyptus, users can make more efficient use of their computing resources, increase productivity, and deploy new applications faster, while protecting sensitive data and reducing capital expenditures. Eucalyptus supports the same application programming interfaces (APIs) as public clouds, and today Eucalyptus is fully compatible with the Amazon Web Services (AWS) cloud infrastructure.
“This partnership is great for existing Eucalyptus users and customers, as well as those looking to expand their private cloud presence,” said Craig Bauman, vice president, sales and business development for Convirture. “By adding a management layer that rivals anything available on the market, private cloud operators can realize the goal of a flexible, easily provisioned cloud-based data center.”
Convirture was founded in 2006 to help organizations effectively manage open source virtualization platforms. More information is available at www.convirture.com.
