Hi Folks,

I'm giving a demo of our new 3 node oVirt deployment next week and am looking for some high points that I can give to the Managers that will be a sell point.

Good luck!

If you could help with the below questions I would really appreciate it:

Who are the big users of oVirt??

There are many. We don't have a lot of user cases on ovirt.org, but there are many universities, for example.

Why oVirt and not vMware??
(we are a big vMware house so free doesn't cover it)

Is VMware free? Or open? Can you fix bugs or add features to it?

I'm (VERY) biased, but I think ease of use, performance (especially of Linux VMs) and breadth of integration are the main key points.

What is the future for oVirt??

4.2 Alpha is just around the corner, with new UI and plenty features. Any area specifically?

Why do you use oVirt??

I know some use it for server virtualization, some for desktop virtualization. I think more for the former than the latter.

An IAAS for containers based solutions (such as Kubernetes, OpenShift) is also a strong initiative recently.

It is definitely used for used at any scale - from a home lab, 3 nodes hyper-converged to enterprise, with hundreds of hosts for mission critical, highly available services.

Any links or ideas appreciated,

I think such presentation would be more successful if it hit the needs of the recipients. What are their current pain points? Where would they like to be tomorrow?

BR/David
