ConVirt
Enterprise Cloudis used by enterprises worldwide to manage
virtual and cloud infrastructures based on KVM and Xen. Today's
announcement continues Convirture's drive to provide the easiest
and most cost-effective means of managing virtual and cloud-based
datacenters based on open source hypervisors.
"Open source-based clouds are proliferating and we believe that most IT managers will adapt a hybrid, heterogeneous approach, with multiple platforms in their datacenter," said Arsalan Farooq, CEO of Convirture. "To that end, we are Switzerland in the cloud wars. Our customers just want to meet an IT need and ConVirt is the tool that will enable them to manage the increasingly complex world of cloud platforms."
In addition to OpenStack Essex and CloudStack, ConVirt can be used to manage OpenStack 1.0, as well as Amazon EC2 and Eucalyptus.
