<p dir="ltr">Ovirt is an open-source replacement for VMware. It the management ability of vsphere that KVM needs.</p>
<p dir="ltr">With Ovirt it's possible to have many storage points with petabytes of drives serving many hundreds of VM hosts. VMs can be migrated live to a new host automatically for load balancing across the pool of hosts.<br>
Ovirt supports pools of VMs for "as needed" use.<br>
It can be installed as a single machine with VM Viet and management combined but it's designed for large scale, enterprise deployment.</p>

What extra does oVirt provide beyond what libvirt does already? I see that<br>
oVirt is build over libvirt, so it should be able to support 10+ VM<br>
technologies, in theory.<br>
