Release of the Third Generation of the OpenNebula Cloud Manager
MADRID, October 3, 2011/PRNewswire/ --
OpenNebula 3.0 features the latest innovations in cloud computing for
the deployment of cutting-edge enterprise-ready on-premise IaaS clouds.
The OpenNebula Project is proud to announce the third major release of
its widely deployed OpenNebula Toolkit, a fully open-source enterprise-grade
cloud computing tool for the complete and comprehensive management of clouds
and virtualized data centers. OpenNebula 3.0 delivers availability,
reliability, scalability, security and efficiency with a focus on allowing
data centers to provide cloud services by leveraging their existing IT
assets, instead of building a new system from the ground up, thus protecting
existing investments and avoiding vendor lock-in.
Most of the new innovative features have been developed to fulfill the
needs of leading IT organizations running production environments.
OpenNebula is helping many organizations make the transition toward the next
generation of cloud infrastructures by supporting multiple fully-isolated
virtual data centers, advanced multi-tenancy with fine-grained access
control, and multiple zones potentially hosted in different geographical
locations.
This new release also brings important benefits to cloud users and
administrators with a greatly improved SunStone GUI that provides easy
access to all the new features in 3.0 and a new oZones GUI to manage zones
and virtual data centers. Other features included in this release include
new authentication methods with usage quotas, a VM template repository, a
new monitoring and accounting service, and a new network subsystem with
support for Open vSwitch and 802.1Q tagging.
"This new version has matured thanks to our large user base and the
expertise gained since we released the first version of OpenNebula more than
three years ago," said Ignacio M. Llorente, Director of the OpenNebula
Project. "We really appreciate the valuable support, software contributions,
and feedback from our active and engaged community."
With more than 5,000 downloads per month, OpenNebula is being used by
thousands of organizations to build large-scale production clouds.
"The third major release of OpenNebula brings the latest innovations in
cloud computing. There is no cloud manager offering similar levels of
flexibility, performance, control, and availability," said Ruben S. Montero,
Chief Architect of the OpenNebula open-source project.
