Today we're happy to announce the
first beta release of Ganeti, an
open source virtual server management software built on top of Xen and other open source
software.
Ganeti started as a small project in Google's Zurich office.
We've been using it internally for a while, and now we're excited to share it more broadly
under GPLv2.
Here at Google, we've used Ganeti in the internal
corporate environment to facilitate cluster management of virtual servers in commodity
hardware, increasing the efficiency of hardware usage and saving space, power and cooling.
Ganeti also provides fast and simple recovery after physical failures.
