oVirt 3.4, for open virtual datacenter management platform: stakes and opportunities for the enterprises.

We talk virtualization platforms, virtual datacenter management, virtual machines. In this ecosystem, Connectikpeople.co invites you to focus on cross-architecture and flexible capabilities, being vigilant on scheduling and load balancing options, and always required the comprehensive approach when it comes to security. Thanks to ActiveDigital.

Always enabled by our global commitment, to bridge the gap between IT solutions providers and Users, henceforth Connectikpeople.co scrutinizes the oVirt project. In this dynamic, the recent enhancements around this open-source technology have caught our attention.

Connectikpeople.co observes that, the general availability of oVirt 3.4, a community-driven open virtual datacenter management platform includes: hosted engine; improved storage and scheduling; and a preview of hot-plug CPU and PPC64 support

features.

When it comes to improved storage, scheduling and management, we capture multiple storage domains, allowing users to mix different types of shared storage in the same datacenter. The oVirt Engine can now provide high availability to VMs in the event of a host failure, and the oVirt Manager can flag individual VMs for high availability.

Regarding the expanded developer features, this newest release will allow developers to apply affinity and anti-affinity rules to VMs to manually dictate when VMs should simultaneously run on one hypervisor, or separately on different hypervisor hosts. It will also be possible to manage a wider variety of storage options, including NFS, iSCI, POSIX, as well as GlusterFS and FibreChannel storage domains.

And the new clustered solutions in oVirt 3.4 can enable users to configure multiple hosts while running their oVirt engine inside a virtual machine.

Connectikpeople.co recalls that oVirt shares services with Red Hat’s cloud solutions including RDO, Red Hat's community OpenStack distribution. The goal here is to improve key building blocks for private and public cloud deployments and allow upstream developments and more.
