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.

Using AlterWay's oVirt set-up negates the argument about it being longer to set up too - everything is ready to go right now.
