Hi everyone, What a great news! Citrix decides to release XenServer Open Source (source here [http://www.citrix.com/news/announcements/jun-2013/citrix-launches-open-source-xenserver.html] and here [http://blog.xen.org/index.php/2013/06/25/xenserver-org-and-the-xen-project/]). It gave us a lot of possibilities. First, it confirms our first choice during

After almost a week in Dublin, we’re back with a debrief of the Xen Hackathon [http://www.xen.org/community/events/xenhackathondublin2013.html]. Please note this is from our point of view and that we’re not kernel or hypervisor hackers. Google Docks: our place to work We were

Hi everyone, The last (and first ;)) release of Xen-Orchestra go back to more than a month now and we haven't given you a lot of news. We have initially hoped to release a bug fix version since but unfortunately we have been quite busy with other projects. But

We're going to Dublin this week, for the Xen Hackathon [http://www.xen.org/community/events/xenhackathondublin2013.html]. And this year, the event will be hosted by the Ganeti team at Google EU headquarters. We'll have the opportunity to discuss with a lot of Xen specialists

You can now sign in and create discussions on our new forum [/forum]. It's a better place to talk about project or troubles you may have installing/configuring XO. See you there!

2 month earlier, we made a presentation at FOSDEM about XO [/blog/back-from-fosdem-2013/]. In this presentation, we estimated to have a first release in march. And here we are! XO 1.0 "Archlute" We think "release often" is a good policy, even if our software is

I'm happy to announce that XO 1.0 will be released at the end of march (Thursday, March 28). This first release (codename "Archlute") will offer the possibility to view all important data from your XCP servers (Vm location on server, host memory, storage repo, templates

Users management in XO takes an important place. A recurrent question is "why managing users in XO while XCP can do it?". Let's analyze how XO is dealing with users and why it's not the same goal as XCP. XO location It's

If you want to see our code, you can do that by going on our "global" github repo [https://github.com/vatesfr/xo]. Check the README for further explanations. Our objective is a first release for March, with only views on your XCP infrastructure, without interactions: it will

Here is a small article about the FOSDEM. We were there! First of all, thanks to Lars [http://wiki.xen.org/wiki/User:Lars.kurth] for the opportunity to be at the Xen Booth. It was great to meet directly people having interest in XO. And of course, to talk

If you want to see a quick presentation of Xen Orchestra, and if you can travel to Belgium, come to see us in the Virt Devroom (details here [https://fosdem.org/2013/schedule/event/xen_orchestra/]). Moreover, we'll be available for any questions/remarks at the Xen booth

Very often, people search how to resolve this annoying message, espacially when you reboot after a fresh Xen (or XCP) install. In this post, we'll understand what does it mean and how to fix it. Just a fresh install If you read previous article about installing XCP on

After some discussions about global architecture, we made choices, and we are testing them right now. And we have screenshots to share :) Global architecture Our goal is to avoid useless traffic between clients and XCP servers, for multiple reasons: * XAPI talks a lot * multiply each client connection by each server,

We have a lot of ideas, but we prefer to start building a software with features responding to community needs. Please read this post carefully if you want to express your needs about XO. Features We've decided to create a feature request, that's why we'

Our first exploration of PHP calls for XAPI was based on a lib, named PHP-xenapi (btw, thanks to Andy Goodwin for that piece of code [https://github.com/andygoodwin/PHP-xenapi]). The "small" problem with this lib, is its slowness. I mean really slower than acceptable for us. Let&

Background Historically, XCP is more a software appliance, installed directly from an ISO, containing packaged XCP with CentOS. But some people prefer to add XCP on a existing OS (for various reasons, like for us, using Debian). That's why project Kronos [http://wiki.xen.org/wiki/Project_Kronos]

Many of you ask us "when the new version of XO will be available, at least for testing purpose?" First thing first, I'll explain important milestones. First "public" beta: before 2013! Yes, it can be the last day of 2012, but this first pre-version

After two years without news, we're back! Now, Xen Orchestra is redeveloped from scratch (with a company support), in order to work with XCP (and its powerful XAPI). Of course, it'll stay Open Source (surely AGPLv3). We decide to be transparent about our development process. The
