OpenNebula brings the most solid, powerful and flexible open-source alternative to proprietary management platforms for building enterprise clouds

MADRID, October 23, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --

    The OpenNebula Project is proud to announce the thirteen stable release of its fully
open-source, widely-used cloud platform for managing data center's virtual
infrastructures. OpenNebula 3.8 (Twin Jet) brings valuable contributions from many
industry members of its large user community, including new innovative features developed
by China Mobile and Research in Motion for their flagship deployments serving millions of
users.

    Twin Jet enhances its AWS and OCCI API implementations and the integration with VMware
and KVM, which are the most widely used hypervisors in OpenNebula clouds. OpenNebula 3.8
additionally seamlessly integrates with the new virtual router in the OpenNebula
marketplace and brings new features in the Sunstone and Self-service portals. An important
effort has been made to distribute the software with the same packaging formats as those
used by the main Linux distributions.

cloudbursting and clustering make OpenNebula the most powerful open-source alternative to
proprietary cloud management platforms", said Ruben S. Montero, Chief Architect of
OpenNebula. "This release incorporates innovative features from the flagship cloud
