  • 1- The subscription fees is relatively low compared to other virtualization solutions.
  • 2- Automation of VMs' deployment is simple, that helped a lot in speeding up VM deployment however there is room to improve by making the API faster.
  • 3- Adding hypervisors in an automated way is simple that helped to scale out our environment.

  • RHEV can be implemented within few days, meaning it is up and running very fast
  • Documentation is very good, so there is a small learning courve
  • It might take a long time until old VMs are migrated from proprietary virtualization vendors

  • RHEV has provided a positive ROI as our customers are not experiencing as many outages during maintenances.
  • We have not experienced any catastrophic failures as a result of vSphere losing connection to the ntp.
  • There has been a level of stability in our environment that was not previously experienced with our previous vendor.

  • Reduced COTS costs to our organization due to the fact that it is open-source and has a freely available version (oVirt)
  • It has helped to bring technology quickly to our operational locations due to the ability to quickly automate and deploy it
  • It has enabled increased security to our enterprise due to the fact that it supports SELinux and allows us to customize the security posture of the infrastructure more easily

  • Negative impact due to costs associated with the service contract as we are switching to oVirt due to cutting costs.
  • Positive impact is that testing on oVirt before purchasing service contracts with RedHat can be done.
