Enomalism Virtualized Management Console v0.6

Posted by Fraser Campbell Sun, 21 Jan 2007 03:53:00 GMT

Today Enomaly announced version 0.6 of their Enomalism Virtualized Management Console for Xen.

Some of the features that caught my eye:

  • native LDAP support to provide centralized authentication for entire virtual environment
  • ability to resize partitions on virtual machines using Logical Volume Manager [LVM]
  • cleaned up AJAX interface
  • improved API and web services support for true service oriented architecture
  • Multi-server support for upcoming Enomalism commercial release (Feb 07).
  • Windows support
  • open architecture that integrates with Plesk, EC2, Ensim and others

Full press release can be viwed at http://enomalism.com/Pressroom.136+M597503d8a57.0.html.

The code is licensed under the LGPL license which is open source but the leading “L” in LGPL will allow commercial applications to be built on top of the enomalism base.

Also interesting is Enomaly’s ElasticLive service. This is a mashup of Amazon’s EC2 and Virtual Workspaces. I expect we may start seeing a lot more of these services built around EC2, let’s hope Amazon gets out of BETA soon.
