Advanced user of StorPoolWe like the ease of management best, especially with the CLI option. They also provide a built in JSON-API which makes monitoring the cluster a lot easier. Finally, we greatly appreciate the high level of support.
The graphical interface shows monitoring and stats, but not operations.
When eApps launched it's Virtual Cloud Server platform in 2011, Xen was the most widely used choice for the underlying virtualization. Since that time, however, KVM has emerged as the leading virtualization technology. In order to provide the best possible hosting service for our customers, we made the decision to convert from Xen to KVM.
A project of this scope required extensive testing and planning. A key contributor to our efforts was StorPool.. The guidance and assistance that StorPool provided was invaluable in the development of our approach and plan. StorPool helped us in many ways, including the following aspects:
* Presented us with an approach to migrate Virtual Servers, without having to perform a cumbersome and time consuming process to copy data over into new Virtual Servers
* Assisted with our analysis of the operating systems we needed to migrate and helped identify specific configuration changes required for various OS templates
* Wrote a migration script to automate the migration process
* Provided documentation on how to use their migration script to perform the migrations
* Responded quickly during our testing and planning phase with answers and advice on any questions we had
The plan we developed with the expert assistance of StorPool is allowing us to perform the Xen to KVM migration efficiently and accurately, and with minimal customer downtime. We greatly appreciate StorPool's contribution to our success!
