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 o=
n
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 usin=

AlterWay's management console for the VMs and the host.

Using AlterWay's oVirt set-up negates the argument about it being longe=
r
to set up too - everything is ready to go right now.
And doesn't stop us from putting up our own management console/oVirt
manager in the future, right? It should be simple to migrate VMs from
one manager to another, right?
