Currently there is no drop-in replacement for ESX+vSphere in Debian. (which handles large servers + has some GUI)
For small servers, Debian provides for "phpvirtualbox+VirtualBox" combo. This lets you manage a single server. ...Which has a nice Web GUI: http://code.google.com/p/phpvirtualbox/ For more professional Open-Source solution, it will be OpenStack + it's WUI (Dashboard) www.openstack.org This one lets you manage a cloud of servers, and includes a distributed storage solution (swift), and distributed authentication mechanism (keystone). Video: (OpenStack + it's WUI Dashboard) http://vimeo.com/20787736 Biggest problem: OpenStack documentation, which does not match the actual software currently, and it is in "testing" category. I'm working to improve it (along with fellow community members) for Debian 7.0 release. I believe, however, that Debian 7.0 will ship with both phpvirtualbox and OpenStack, tested and documented. (in early 2013) Debian 6.0 (stable) lacks those technologies. -- -Alexey Eromenko "Technologov" -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
