Benefits of ovirt:

I'm in favour of using oVirt. One of the things that I liked about
AlterWay's offer was the idea of running oVirt project infrastructure on
oVirt managed VMs.
There are two choices inside the oVirt decision: do we want a separate
oVirt manager, or are we happy having the host managed as a node in
AlterWay's oVirt managed infrastructure? I personally am fine with using
AlterWay's management console for the VMs and the host.
So libvirt would be a better choice if we want to set up fast, but
may
limit us in the longer run. Also may use fewer resources, but in the
long run ovirt may allows us to build a bit of monitoring on top of the
API.
Using AlterWay's oVirt set-up negates the argument about it being longer
to set up too - everything is ready to go right now.
Cheers,
Dave.
