FluidVM - The replacement for HyperVM!


genious

Recommended Posts

My concerns with FluidVM are:

  • Interface leaves much to be desired, IMHO.
  • I would be hesitant to rely on any relatively new, unproven product in a production environment.

 

But I am open to being convinced. ;-)

 

I am also wondering if staying with HyperVM might be prudent. If the security issues have indeed been fixed, current HyperVM installations should continue to work fine until the open source issues have been fully worked out. Is anyone else now considering staying with (or returning to) HyperVM?

We've been testing FluidVM over the past couple of months and even though it lack some features, it is very likely that we will base our VPS operations on it from now on. The fact that it works with WHMCS is of course a big plus ;)

 

Thanks for the feedback, we will test it soon and we will post our comments.

The security issues were resolved before Ligesh left.

 

We have started using HyperVM. I trust it more than any new BETA system. The consorcium they formed is made up of prevous heavy users of the software.

 

And once open source, which will be soon, hyperVM will be much better than before.

We dont use FluidVM by the moment. A lot of bugs yet , very unstable . The openvz node not works, the virtual machines not start in xen , one xen node lost the binary and even not start... very strange errors....

Heh ! Same here :)

 

We went back to HyperVM ;)

 

Nosotros también, aunque me lio un poco por su foro la verdad no me acabo de aclarar. La versión 2.0 que tienen ahora colgada en su web tanto del server como del esclavo(s) esta fuera de los bugs famosos o eso solo será cuando saquen la 3.0 que estan preparando y de la cual no se sabe fecha aún?

 

Creo que lei que la 2.0 de ahora esta fuera de bugs que se puede usar sin problemas no? Si me lo puedes confirmar te lo agradeceria.

 

Saludos

Our provider gave us the demo.

Well. Whmcs API do not work for suspend/stop/terminate. You need one dedicated machine for installing the controller. It's not compatible with IE/Safari or opera but works only with mozilla.

Too many turbogears errors.

We are told by our provider that pricing .50cents only valid through September after that it will be few US$ per VM. Support is $250 per node per year :D If you have 10 servers than you have to pay $2500 per year just for support plus license fee.

 

Perpetual License $ 499 per managed server

 

* No licensing fee required for FluidVM Management Server and iSCSI storage servers

* No limit on the number of VMs that can be run on managed servers

* No limit on CPU sockets or CPU Cores

* Choose for up-front long term investment

 

Monthly License *** $ 0.5 per vm per month

 

* Introductory Price

* Virtual machines of all supported Hypervisors covered (XEN HVM, XEN Para-Virtual and OpenVZ)

* Choose for very low up-front investment

 

$ 249 per managed server per year

 

* Email based support

 

** To run virtual machines you need either a Perpetual or Monthly license, not both. Optional support charges extra as quoted above for any

license type.

*** Available in packs of 50, 100 and further multiples of 100.

 

In the end it's going to be as expensive as parallels.

Naa,. I'll stick with HyperVM, already has internationalization support, and from what I am reading, it's going open source.

 

Can't beat that, sorry.

 

Yeah, but reading up on the whole LxLabs (now LxCenter) shenanigans is that the source code will not be released for two years, and literally half of all the people who are part of the LxLabs consortium, the group of people to work on security until it goes fully Open Source... well, they are all under the age of 18 [1].

 

Not saying that that is bad, I myself made a Xen control center when I was 17, but the whole point is - I don't think that LxLabs having good open source code in two years is going to be something to boast about right at this moment now.

 

If anything - the product might end up being just a tad less secure.

I have used FluidVM, and I must say that the product in a few months has become more then what HyperVM was in a few years. The developmental prospects of this product is so much greater then HyperVM.
