ConVirt Enterprise Software Update
We’ve just released our latest software update – v3.3.6 – of ConVirt Enterprise and ConVirt Enterprise Cloud with lots of new features designed to increase flexibility of your virtual data center assets. Let’s have a look at specific features and what they can do for you.
For VMware users, now you have everything you need for a self-service console, multi-tenancy, as well as network and storage isolation – just like what we bring to KVM and Xen. Now, VMware users can:
- Create a private cloud from an ESXi or vSphere host, or a vCenter environment giving you the capability to – with a few simple clicks – designate which parts of your existing infrastructure (server pools, networks, storage, and templates) should be used for the cloud deployment.
- Going one step further, create virtual data centers from private clouds based on ESXi, vSphere or vCenter with full flexibility to determine the compute, storage, and network resources that your cloud clients can use.
Other cool stuff for VMware customers include:
- Snapshot management for ESXi and vCenter Virtual Machines;
- Integrated vCenter alarms in a new tab on ConVirt to show vCenter alerts on virtual machines, hosts;
- When importing vCenter, the OVF Templates group is no longer populated automatically;
- In the event of a VM encounter and error, VMware Virtual Machine availability automatically stops;
- When recycling the connection, now the vCenter connection will be closed.
Aside from the VMware-related updates, we’ve also made enhancements that include:
- Improved template selection flow in the Amazon EC2 cloud wizard;
- Task associated with CloudVM and metrics tasks can now be resumed;
- Fixed Xen Live migration on CentOS/SLES platform so it no longer generates an “attribute error” on HTTPS connection.
This is a free update for all current users. We offer free 30-day trials of ConVirt Enterprise or you can use ConVirt Open Source, which has capabilities to monitor all open source virtualization platforms from a single at-a-glance dashboard, as well as uniformly manage pools of servers, migrate live virtual machines in a few clicks, and more. Go here for downloads and have a look here to see our product comparison chart so you can see which works best for your needs.
