ConVirt 2.0 Enterprise Edition from Convirture brings Enterprise-Grade Virtualization Management Now Available for Xen and KVM

Alexander Ervik Johnsen Citrix, Convirt 2.0, Convirture, Hypervisor, KVM, Linux, Ubuntu, Xen, XenServer 2010-07-28

SAN FRANCISCO, July 28, 2010 – Managing open source hypervisors, including Xen and KVM, became a lot easier today with the
release of ConVirt 2.0 Enterprise edition from Convirture Corp.

The open source version of ConVirt has been available for more than three years and is broadly deployed and well-tested in real-world data
centers — having been downloaded more than 30,000 times. In fact, ConVirt1.x is included in most major Linux distributions such as Ubuntu,
Open SUSE, Debian and others.

ConVirt 2.0 Enterprise extends ConVirt Open Source with the advanced automation and scalability features necessary for running large-scale or
mission-critical virtualized environments. By delivering high availability, backup and recovery, storage and network automation, and
enterprise-grade security, ConVirt 2.0 Enterprise enables IT managers to meet and exceed service levels while using infrastructure in the most
efficient way.

ConVirt 2.0 Enterprise is also the go-to tool for enterprises ready to move beyond virtualized infrastructure management towards a hosted or
private cloud model. With an extensive cloud management feature set, which includes multi-tenant security, delegated control, scheduled
provisioning, resource limiting, and many more, ConVirt 2.0 Enterprise enables IT organizations to offer infrastructure-as-a-service, while
ensuring full isolation and compliance with corporate policies.

“We’ve implemented a variety of virtualization platforms over the years and managing them all – especially the open source hypervisors – has
always been the single biggest pain point,” said Steven Scoleri, Principal Architect at GSI Commerce, a leading provider of e-commerce
and interactive marketing services. “Our beta test of ConVirt 2.0 Enterprise has gone very well and we think it just may be the
game-changer we’ve been looking for. We no longer need experts on hand at all times to complete simple virtualization tasks. We look forward to
further exploring ConVirt’s capabilities and using it to manage our entire open source-based virtual data center.”

“Until now, any organization that wanted a complete solution for managing and automating a virtual data center was locked into expensive
and proprietary solutions like VMware vCenter,”,” said Arsalan Farooq, CEO of Convirture. “That changes today as ConVirt 2.0’s advanced
automation, private cloud management, enterprise scalability and datacenter integration features now meet or exceed what’s available from
proprietary platform vendors. With ConVirt 2.0 Enterprise, organizations considering Xen or KVM as open source alternatives to
commercial virtualization platforms are no longer forced to compromise on manageability. ”

About ConVirt 2.0 Enterprise

ConVirt 2.0 Enterprise supports all of the features available with the ConVirt 2.0 Open Source product including:

  • Server pool-based management
  • Templates-based provisioning
  • Monitoring and configuration management
  • Comprehensive virtual machine administration
  • Highly scalable, 3-tier, standards-based architecture

In addition, ConVirt 2.0 Enterprise delivers scalability, automation,
and private cloud management features that were previously available
only for proprietary virtualization platforms, including:

  • High availability: ConVirt 2.0 Enterprise ensures that
    mission-critical applications are always up and running by delivering a
    comprehensive high availability feature set, including virtual and
    physical machine failover;
  • Backup and recovery: A full backup and recovery feature
    set ensures successful recovery from planned and unplanned outages.
    Scheduled and on-demand backups are supported. Restore modes can be for
    the most recent state or any earlier backup. Both virtual machine state
    and storage are captured, so virtual machines are brought up in a
    consistent state.
  • Private Cloud Management: A data center that has been
    virtualized can be turned into a private, infrastructure-as-a-service
    cloud in a scalable and secure way, with support for full multi-tenant
    security, delegated control, scheduled provisioning, resource limiting
    and the ability to create virtual appliances that comply with corporate
    standards and publish them effortlessly to cloud users.
  • Storage and network automation with ConVirt 2.0
    Enterprise significantly streamlines the error-prone and time-consuming
    tasks of configuring network and storage in a virtualized environment.
    Storage configuration standardizes storage across a server pool by
    automating configuration of all storage types, including NFS, iSCSi,
    AOE, Fiber Channel and LVM. Network integration provides a centralized
    interface for managing virtual networks.
  • Enterprise Integration: ConVirt 2.0 Enterprise provides a
    full suite of integration capabilities, including an open repository,
    command line interface, and programmatic APIs.

Pricing and Availability

ConVirt 2.0 Enterprise is available immediately direct from Convirture. Pricing starts at $1,495 per host for up to 10 hosts, with volume pricing available for larger environments. A “per virtual
machine” pricing package is also available for ISP’s and hosting providers. More information is available at https://www.convirture.com/contact.html
