Product

OpenNebula 7.4.1 is almost here: The upcoming maintenance release brings further Sunstone improvements and enhancements to the Veeam integration. It will be publicly available to all OpenNebula users.

NVIDIA-Certified Validation for GB200 NVL72: OpenNebula has successfully completed NVIDIA-Certified Hypervisor validation for NVIDIA GB200 NVL72, demonstrating that virtualized AI infrastructure can deliver the performance of demanding workloads while retaining the benefits of cloud management, isolation, and multi-tenancy.

Redesigned Sunstone Interface in OpenNebula 7.4: Explore the updated Sunstone interface with revamped navigation, improved user controls, richer infrastructure views, and a new details panel. The enhanced experience provides unified management across virtualization, networking, storage, Kubernetes, and AI infrastructure.

Simplify Kubernetes Management with OneKS: OneKS streamlines Kubernetes cluster management on OpenNebula, from provisioning and worker node management to application deployment, scaling, and cluster termination. Built on Cluster API, it also enables Kubernetes management directly through Sunstone.

Partnerships

OpenNebula and NetApp Advance Integrated AI and Cloud Infrastructure: The OpenNebula and NetApp integration combines cloud orchestration with NetApp ONTAP to unify compute and storage management for virtual machines, Kubernetes, and AI workloads, with support for enterprise storage and multi-tenancy.

OpenNebula and VAST Data Expand AI Factory Infrastructure: OpenNebula and VAST Data are combining cloud orchestration with AI-native data infrastructure to support scalable, multi-tenant AI Factories, Gigafactories, and Neoclouds.

OpenNebula and Nokia Collaborate on Sovereign AI Infrastructure: OpenNebula and Nokia are bringing together cloud orchestration and data center networking to support sovereign AI infrastructure through an open technology stack designed for European requirements.

OpenNebula and IONOS Strengthen European Sovereign Cloud Infrastructure: OpenNebula and IONOS are collaborating on sovereign cloud deployments, combining open cloud infrastructure with European cloud capabilities to give organizations greater control over their infrastructure, data, and operations.

Expand Sovereign Clouds Across Europe with i3D.net: OpenNebula and i3D.net make it easier to scale private cloud infrastructure across European regions on demand. With i3D.net Bare Metal Cloud supported in OneForm, organizations can provision bare metal, deploy OpenNebula, and manage new clusters alongside their existing infrastructure.
