This document provides an introduction and overview of oVirt, an open source virtualization solution. It discusses that oVirt uses KVM as a hypervisor and provides an oVirt Engine web management tool similar to vCenter. It also describes additional oVirt features like live migration, high availability, live snapshots, and support for standards like OVF, VDI, and authentication. The presenter is Roozbeh Shafiee, a cloud architect from innfinision Cloud Solutions.

11. oVirt Node:
● oVirt Node is a minimal and lightweight operating system which
contains KVM hypervisor and some packages to run VMs. This OS
works look like ESXi in VMware vSphere.

24. High Availability:
● Restart guest VMs from failed hosts automatically on other
hosts.

26. Live Snapshot:
● Take snapshot of a running virtual machine with minimum
downtime.

28. Power Saving:
● Concentrate virtual machines on fewer servers during off-peak
hours to save power and make a cost effective virtual
environment.

30. Monitoring and Reporting:
● With oVirt Engine management tool all objects in system such as
VM guests, hosts, networking, storage and etc are monitorable
easily.

34. Any to Ant Converting:
● V2V - Easily convert to KVM from VMware, Citrix, Hyper-V and etc
● P2V – Easily convert physical machines to virtual machine
● With this feature migrating from any virtualization solutions is easy
