adopted OpenStack, an open-source technology for cloud computing software to build private,
public, and hybrid cloud solutions deployed by enterprises and service providers. The Matrix KVM
Private Cloud environment consists of:
• A management appliance running the HP Matrix KVM Admin Console. The appliance is
hosted on a single KVM management host or a two-node failover KVM management cluster
in a High Availability design.
• A set of compute nodes under the exclusive control of the management appliance. The compute
nodes run on physical Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.3 KVM hosts.
