Xen Community:
Xen Cloud Platform (XCP) 0.1 is an effort by several
community members to create a complete open source virtual infrastructure
solution (Hypervisor + Management Toolstack) as a reference architecture for
cloud deployments.
This 0.1 release provides a stable platform on which to
build, and to provoke community discussion about the final form that XCP 1.0
should take. Developers, testers, and users are all invited to try the XCP 0.1
solution and help drive the community toward the future release of XCP 1.0.

* XAPI Enterprise-class Management Tool Stack
o VM Lifecycle: Live snapshots, checkpoint,

configuration, DR
o Host Configuration: Flexible storage management,
networking, power management
o Event Tracking: Progress, notification
o Secure Communication using SSL
o Upgrade and Patching Capabilities
