One cloud—multiple hypervisors
With CloudPlatform, a single cloud deployment can run multiple hypervisor implementations of multiple types. Based on a pluggable architecture, CloudPlatform software works with a variety of hypervisors including Oracle VM, KVM, vSphere and Citrix XenServer to give customers complete freedom to choose the right hypervisor for their workload.

Massively scalable infrastructure management
CloudPlatform lets you manage tens of thousands of servers across geographically distributed datacenters through a linearly scalable, centralized management server that eliminates the need for intermediate cluster-level management servers. No single component failure can cause cluster or cloud-wide outage, enabling downtime-free management server maintenance and reducing the workload of managing a large-scale cloud deployment.

Easy-to-use web interface
CloudPlatform makes it simple to manage your cloud infrastructure with a feature-rich user interface implemented on top of the CloudPlatform API. Fully AJAX-based and compatible with most popular web browsers, the solution can be easily integrated with your existing portal for seamless administration. A real-time view of the aggregated storage, IP pools, CPU, memory and other resources in use gives you better visibility and control over your cloud.

Standard API support
CloudPlatform implements industry-standard APIs on top of a low-level CloudPlatform API with its own unique and innovative features. Although the CloudPlatform API is documented, maintained and supported, CloudPlatform does not assert it as your only option—work is underway to create API adapters that implement Amazon EC2/S3 API and the vCloud API on top of the CloudPlatform API. Future cloud API standards from bodies such as DMTF will be implemented as they become available.
