KVM as a Hypervisor

innfinision.netoVirt Introduction

innfinision.netoVirt Introduction

KVM as a Hypervisor:

● oVirt is a virtualization solution like VMware vSphere

● oVirt is using KVM as hypervisor to manage virtual machines in

backend.

oVirt Engine Tools

innfinision.netoVirt Introduction

innfinision.netoVirt Introduction

oVirt Engine Tools:

● oVirt Engine is an open source web management tool same as

VMware vSphere and vCenter

innfinision.netoVirt Introduction

oVirt Engine Tools:

oVirt Node

innfinision.netoVirt Introduction

innfinision.netoVirt Introduction

oVirt Node:

● oVirt Node is a minimal and lightweight operating system which

contains KVM hypervisor and some packages to run VMs. This OS

works look like ESXi in VMware vSphere.

innfinision.netoVirt Introduction

oVirt Node:

oVirt View

innfinision.netoVirt Introduction

innfinision.netoVirt Introduction

Virt Viewer:● Virtual Machine Viewer (Virt-Viewer) from Virtual Machine

Manager tools collection for working with VMs remotely and

also uses in VDI projects.

High Availability:

● Restart guest VMs from failed hosts automatically on other

hosts.

Live Snapshot

innfinision.netoVirt Introduction

innfinision.netoVirt Introduction

Live Snapshot:

● Take snapshot of a running virtual machine with minimum

downtime.

Power Saving

innfinision.netoVirt Introduction

innfinision.netoVirt Introduction

Power Saving:

● Concentrate virtual machines on fewer servers during off-peak

hours to save power and make a cost effective virtual

environment.

innfinision.netoVirt Introduction

innfinision.netoVirt Introduction

Standard Import and Export:

● Import and export VMs and templates using OVF files format.

Any to Any Converting

innfinision.netoVirt Introduction

innfinision.netoVirt Introduction

Any to Ant Converting:

● V2V - Easily convert to KVM from VMware, Citrix, Hyper-V and etc

● P2V – Easily convert physical machines to virtual machine

● With this feature migrating from any virtualization solutions is easy

Virtual Desktop Infrastructure

innfinision.netoVirt Introduction

innfinision.netoVirt Introduction

Virtual Desktop Infrastructure:● Virtual Desktop Infrastructure – VDI can be provide by oVirt via

web management and virt-viewer tools based on web browser and

SPICE protocol.

User Access and Authentications

innfinision.netoVirt Introduction

innfinision.netoVirt Introduction

User Access and Authentications:

● Authentications and access to oVirt for manage of environment

and access to VDI made easy by Active Directory, IPA, Red Hat

Directory Server and OpenLDAP.

oVirt CLI

innfinision.netoVirt Introduction

innfinision.netoVirt Introduction

User Access and Authentications:

● All management of oVirt are accessible via Command Line for

power users and for sometimes that Web management tool not

available.
