Open Source · v2.6.3 Enterprise

Enterprise KVM Hypervisor Management

A full-featured, self-hosted virtualization platform built on KVM/QEMU. Manage VMs, clusters, networking, storage, security, and compliance — all from a single dark-themed web UI. 114 enterprise capabilities: DRS, live migration, vTPM, confidential VMs, multi-tenancy, Terraform, Kubernetes CSI, Firecracker microVM, OPA policy engine, and more.

Enterprise Features, Zero Cost

Everything you need to run production workloads.

VM Lifecycle Management

Create, start, stop, reboot, clone, and snapshot VMs with full KVM power. Bulk operations, CPU pinning, vCPU hot-plug, scheduling, and template-based provisioning.

noVNC Console

Browser-based VNC and serial console — no client needed. Pointer lock, Ctrl+Alt+Del, clipboard support, fullscreen, and SPICE for high-performance sessions.

RBAC & Multi-User

Role-based access with four built-in roles: admin, operator, vm-user, and viewer. Assign specific VMs to tenants so they only see and manage what they own.

Cloud-Init & Auto-Provision

Automated VM configuration at first boot: SSH key injection, static IP setup, hostname assignment, and network configuration — no manual intervention required.

IPAM & Networking

IP address management with CIDR pools, WireGuard VPN, VLAN tagging, SDN via Open vSwitch, HAProxy load balancer, per-VM QoS, and nftables firewall.

AI Assistant

Built-in AI for natural-language VM creation, capacity forecasting, anomaly detection, and workload analysis. Predict resource exhaustion before it impacts production.

Cluster & DRS

Distributed Resource Scheduler auto-balances VMs across hosts by CPU/RAM load. EVC CPU compatibility for live migration across CPU generations. Affinity/anti-affinity rules, NUMA-aware scheduling, maintenance mode evacuation.

Security & Compliance

vTPM 2.0 (Windows 11/BitLocker), AMD SEV/Intel TDX confidential VMs, LUKS2 disk encryption, automated CIS/NIST/PCI-DSS/HIPAA/ISO 27001 compliance scanner, DLP engine, forensics, SAML/OIDC SSO, MFA per role.

Disaster Recovery

3-2-1 backup automation, app-consistent snapshots (fsfreeze), backup mount+boot verification, cross-site async/sync replication. RPO/RTO SLA tracking, automated DR runbooks, one-click failover.

Multi-Tenancy

Hard tenant isolation with per-tenant vCPU/RAM/disk quotas, self-service portal, chargeback/showback billing engine (€/$/TRY), 6-template service catalog, token-bucket rate limiting per tenant.

Kubernetes & Cloud

Kubernetes CSI driver (csi.oxware.io), OxwareVM CRD Operator, KubeVirt import/export, GitOps (ArgoCD/Flux), Pulumi IaC generation, workload mobility to AWS AMI / Azure VHD / GCP.

Modern Workloads

Firecracker microVM (125ms boot), Kata Containers runtime, WASM module execution (wasmtime/wasmedge), edge deployment mode. OPA/Rego policy-as-code, CloudEvents v1.0, workflow automation engine.

IaC & Terraform

Official Terraform provider: oxware_vm, oxware_network, oxware_storage_pool resources + data sources. Full REST API (~190 endpoints) with OpenAPI spec auto-generated at /api/docs.

Designing for v2.7

What's Nextv2.7

v2.6.3 is complete — 114+ capabilities shipped. These are the features we're designing for the next major cycle.

v2.7

Mobile App (iOS + Android)

Native clients — VM lifecycle, push alerts, live metrics, noVNC console snapshots, and quick actions on the go.

v2.7

Managed Clusters

Multi-site cluster federation — manage multiple OXware nodes from a single global control plane with unified inventory and single-pane operations.

v2.7

Confidential VMs

AMD SEV and Intel TDX hardware memory encryption. vTPM 2.0 + UEFI Secure Boot for untrusted-host environments.

v2.7

AI Anomaly Response

Autonomous remediation — AI detects anomalies and triggers pre-approved runbooks without manual intervention.

v2.7

KubeVirt & K8s Operator

Run OXware VMs as Kubernetes workloads. CSI driver for persistent volumes, Operator for lifecycle management.

v2.7

Multi-Tenancy & Chargeback

Hard tenant isolation, per-tenant resource quotas, usage metering, and cost chargeback reports for MSP/hosting environments.

v2.7

Microsegmentation

Per-VM Layer-7 firewall policies enforced via nftables/eBPF — east-west traffic control without external SDN hardware.

v2.7

Desktop Client

Electron-based desktop app for macOS, Windows, and Linux — native system tray, offline VM status, and local CLI integration.
