Time to share more on XO 6: why we built it, what’s improved, and what’s next. It’s already 13x faster on 1000x VMs setups, with a new API-first core and a UI designed to feel familiar for VMware users. We built it for scale and it delivers! xen-orchestra.com/blog/inside-th…

We’ve been working on a new backup engine for Xen Orchestra: designed for more formats, larger disks, and a cleaner, modern architecture. It’s already being tested in the wild... curious? 👀 Your feedback could help us ship it even faster! xen-orchestra.com/blog/next-gen-…
They said you can’t run a company on open source. They said you can’t scale it either. Well, we’ve done both. Here’s a look at the tools we use to make it happen. If we did it, you can too!
Can you scale a company to more than 100 people while staying fully self-hosted and using only open source tools? Check out our updated 2025 stack: what we use, what we replaced, and what’s next! vates.tech/blog/the-open-…
I thought it was time to share some perspective on what it takes to build a full virtualization stack. We’ve learned a lot over the years, often the hard way. Using a platform is one thing. Building and maintaining it is something else entirely. virtualize.sh/blog/few-build…
