VMmanager

What is VMmanager?

VMmanager is a comprehensive and scalable virtualization management platform designed for both hosting providers and internal IT infrastructure management. It provides a complete toolkit for creating, managing, and automating virtual environments. The platform supports both hardware virtualization (KVM) and container-based virtualization, allowing it to abstract virtual infrastructure from the underlying physical hardware effectively.

For businesses, VMmanager serves as a robust tool for building a fault-tolerant private cloud, centralizing the management of servers, and optimizing the use of computing and network resources. For hosting and service providers, it acts as a powerful business automation platform, streamlining the process of leasing virtual infrastructure and delivering IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service), VPS (Virtual Private Server), and SaaS (Software as a Service) offerings to clients.

Why Choose VMmanager?

• Exceptional Scalability: The platform is engineered for large-scale deployments. A single VMmanager installation can manage over 22,000 virtual machines, 50+ clusters, and 350+ physical servers, with the option to scale further by adding more installations.
• Proven Stability and Reliability: With a long history of development, VMmanager is a stable product that receives regular updates and new features, ensuring a secure and modern management experience. Its microservice architecture further enhances reliability.
• Simplified Installation and Administration: VMmanager simplifies complex tasks. One installation is sufficient to manage multiple clusters across a geographically distributed infrastructure, and the process of connecting new host servers is fully automated.
• Powerful Automation: It automates many routine administrative operations, including the creation of virtual machines, assignment of IP addresses, and configuration of private networks. This high level of automation significantly reduces operational costs.
• Increased Revenue Opportunities: For hosting providers, the platform includes automation scenarios designed to expand service portfolios. This allows for the easy offering of additional paid services like private VXLAN subnets, data security tools, and various SaaS products.
• Independent Development: The platform is developed primarily in-house by ISPsystem, minimizing reliance on third-party open-source components. This gives it a high potential for independent and rapid feature development.

Advanced Features of VMmanager

• High-Availability Clusters: The platform enables the deployment of fault-tolerant clusters to build a high-availability cloud environment. If a physical node fails, virtual machines can be automatically migrated to ensure continuous operation.
• Centralized Storage Support: It integrates seamlessly with various storage solutions, offering support for both SAN (Storage Area Network) and distributed Ceph storage to create a unified storage pool for the cluster.
• Billing System Integration: VMmanager integrates with popular billing platforms like BILLmanager and WHMCS. This allows hosting providers to completely automate the provisioning, billing, and management of VPS services for their customers.
• User Self-Service Portal: End-users are given access to a user-friendly dashboard where they can perform most self-service operations, such as rebooting machines, monitoring performance statistics, and establishing remote connections without needing administrator intervention.
• Built-in Backup Functionality: The platform includes integrated tools for creating and managing backups of virtual machines, providing an essential layer of data protection and disaster recovery.
• Analytics and Reporting: Administrators can monitor the performance of virtual machines over specific periods, tracking key parameters to analyze load and optimize resource allocation.

Key Capabilities of VMmanager

• Centralized Virtualization Management: It provides a single pane of glass to manage your entire virtualization environment, combining physical servers and network storage into a single, easy-to-manage cluster.
• Automated VM Provisioning: The platform automates the complete process of creating and configuring virtual machines, from OS installation to network setup.
• Resource Optimization: By pooling computing and network resources, VMmanager ensures they are used efficiently, preventing resource silos and reducing hardware costs.
• Network Abstraction: It simplifies network management by allowing the creation of isolated private networks (VXLANs) and automating the assignment of IP addresses.
• Multi-Tenancy Support: Designed for service providers, it securely isolates client environments, allowing multiple tenants to run their virtual machines on shared physical infrastructure without interference.

How to Use VMmanager?

1. Install the Platform: Begin by deploying the core VMmanager platform on a dedicated server. A single installation is capable of managing a large, distributed infrastructure.
2. Create a Cluster: Add your physical servers (nodes) to the platform to create a virtualization cluster. The host connection process is fully automated, enabling rapid deployment of hundreds of servers.
3. Configure Resources: Connect your storage (like SAN or Ceph) and configure network settings, including IP address pools and private network templates.
4. Provision Virtual Machines: Create virtual machines for end-users or internal services. This can be done manually through the admin panel or automatically via integration with a billing system.
5. Manage and Monitor: Use the centralized dashboard to monitor the health and performance of the entire cluster and individual VMs. Empower end-users with the self-service portal for routine management tasks.
