oVirt: Open Your Virtual Data Center

When it comes to hypervisors, the engines that drive virtualization, "free" (as in freedom or as in beer) has become the norm, with management capabilities generally available as costly add-ons. The oVirt Project, which launched in late 2011 with the open sourcing of the RHEV management platform, is changing the game, with a feature-rich virtualization platform that's open source from end-to-end.

Attend this presentation to learn about what oVirt can do for your virtual data center, and about how you can participate in the project to help advance the state of open source virtualization. The presentation will cover the features added in the three releases since the project launched, and will look ahead at what's to come on the oVirt roadmap.

All the current components of the oVirt project will be discussed at a high-level, with comparisons to other virtualization platforms and discussion of how the project fits in the cloud and virtualization landscape.
