It differs from OpenXenCenter by being lightweight (no client app 
required, will run from any machine with even a basic browser without 
installing extra software, including smartphones), includes extended 
functionality (virtual machine watchdog, cloud host watchdog, working 
load balancer), and combines multiple steps in single actions 
(automatically stops and restarts the virtual machine when changing 
memory, etc). The other thing is that you never have to expose the XCP 
cloud password itself to the user.
I wrote this because I don't have a large staff and being mobile is 
critical for me. This means that I have to be able to do most if not all 
of my admin work from my BlackBerry smartphone. That's the beauty of 
open source, different focus brings different results.
Whatever anyone feels about it, I won't apologize for writing it because 
someone has written something similar.
