Unlike classic cloud computing solutions, OpenNebula provides a complete toolbox for the centralised management of a heterogeneous virtual infrastructure.
The tool is compatible with classic hypervisors: VMware, Xen and KVM. OpenNebula runs like a scheduler of storage layers, networks, supervision and security.
It is suited to the conversion of a virtual infrastructure into an IaaS platform. This function of centralised orchestration of hybrid environments is at the very heart of the tool.
The project, which began in 2005, published its first version in 2008 and has been active ever since. Its many releases have resulted in major functional upgrades for storage node support, high environment availability and the ergonomics of its admin interfaces.

“ On peut regretter son manque -relatif- de popularite, face aux solutions telles qu'OpenStack ou CloudStack. Il faut pourtant admettre qu'OpenNebula propose un solution toute aussi modulaire, parfois mieux documente, et sans doute l'une des plus simple a deployer du marche. Cote stockage, privilegier les drivers ceph ou iscsi. ”
