      New to virtualization platforms and started out with XENserver . Always have run servers "Bare metal" and now figuring out VM machines.
      Xen was mentioned by friends and i stepped in with XEN 7.2 . It imeediatly "cought me" and when release 7.3 of XEN came out i read about XCP.

      I am a Windows Administrator very interested in the Linux platforms en Virtualizing now!

        I use XenServer since 2009. In 2008 i compared Hyper-V, VMware and XenServer for about 6 months (only the free versions) and my winner was XenServer. Not only because I am a fan of Open Source I choosed XenServer. My primary focus was performance and usability (for admins). VMware was too slow on low end hardware like HP ML110 and Hyper-V needed an AD. So I stayed with XenServer.

        Since XenServer 7.3 I looked for alternatives and found the XCP-ng project.

        I have a small IT company with 3 employees. We serve small and medium-sized customers. Unlike other IT companies around here, we use a lot of open source to offer alternatives to our customers. About one week ago I tested Xen Orchestra (compiled from source) and I like it a lot. I miss some features, but maybe I have not discovered them yet.

        If you have plans to support other languages in Xen Orchestra, I can assist you with the german version.

          @Toni we already support various language. You can change it in your user profile view (user icon on bottom of left menu).

          Translating in German would be easy (few hours if you help us). Would you like to know how to do so?

            First of all thank you very much for your efforts to fully opensource XenServer and creating to XenOrchestra.

            We are small manufacturing company and use two Xenserver 7.1 for website hosting, erp and nas applications.
            I also have an IT company.

            But due to Citrix policy change on XenServer I was looking for alternatives until I saw XCP-np. Now I am glad to update to XCP-ng.

            I used ESXi before but I love how XenServer is easy to use and works on most hardware (ESXi was picky on servers).

            I will try to help/support.

            Cheers from Turkey!

                  "Hello World!"

                  Thanks for all those that have created this website and XCP-ng! I have been a user of xen since v4, and have migrated from v4 to v5-v6-v7. Xen is a wonderful piece of software. I have 4 dom0s and 46 domUs that I manage in my private cloud.

                  Looking forward to looking at the new releases, and continuing on into the future with XCP-ng.

                    I'm an admin, running complete company IT in different locations (inhouse, company group, datacenter) and some IT for customers. First I worked as an developer at my company and transformed to an admin.

                    We used bare metal for years, since 2008 VmWare ESXi and XenServer starting from version 6.5. XenCenter (for administering/setup) and XenOrchestra (user self-service, backups, Windows-less access to vm's) are my main tools at work.

                    In my freetime I'm currently trying to help with the building and branding of "XenCenter"/xenadmin/XCP-Center or how you will call it in future (https://github.com/xcp-ng/xenadmin). This is my first real contribution to an open source project and I'm very exited excited 😉

                    Great Project!

                        I have virtualization as hobby and I used Xenserver 7.2 before XCP-ng. I use it mainly in my home environment. In my freetime I am working together with @borzel to build the XenCenter for XCP-ng. I am currently build the MSI installer for it.

                          Hi everybody.
                          I am one-man- IT guy.
                          Everywhere I worked, I implemented virtualisation for ease of use. Began with VMW ESXi, then discovered XenServer 6.
                          Since I am using 2 server pool scenario, I am interested in this feature. For now, this is implemented using HA-LIZARD solution.
                          I am glad community is alive and will be testing XCP-ng this week. I can help financially and testing vise.

                            Hello!

                            I manage a two-server pool for a high school club with a tiny budget. We try to use open-source or in-house software as much as possible, so being able to move from Citrix's jail of a licensing system to XCP-NG is really great! We've got two X3650 M3s running XenServer and HA-Lizard that I hope to move to XCP-NG.

                            If I could ask for one thing, it would be XenCenter running (or under mono) in Linux.

                              Use Xen Orchestra 😉 See this thread: https://xcp-ng.org/forum/topic/5/xen-orchestra

                                Does XOA support managing link bonding and custom fields? HA-Lizard requires both unfortunately.

                                  I'm not sure to see the connection. It's a web UI for XenServer and XCP-ng, to manage, backup and delegate VMs.

                                    Our system uses HA-Lizard to sync local storage between our two machines. In order to shut down the cluster, we need to change values in the custom fields that xencenter supports to disable HA-Lizard's VM auto-restarting and disk replication. To be honest, I've only tried XOA very briefly and I'll definitely give it a try when I get a chance, but as far as I know it doesn't support some of the things that we need.

                                      If it's just exposing some custom fields to expose in XO, this would be trivial 😉 You can report missing features here: http://github.com/vatesfr/xen-orchestra/

                                          Hi everyone, I'm a sysadmin at a College in Montreal, Canada. Been XenServer free edition users since version 5.0. As for probably many of you, 7.3 was the last straw for us from Citrix, so really happy to see this project picking up!
