[edit] Overview
Zentific is a web-based management interface for the effective control of virtual machines running upon the Xen(R) hypervisor. Designed to maintain a high level of reliability, security, scalability, and ease of use, the interface serves both administrators and end-users of all proficiency levels. In the spirit of the open-source projects which have made Zentific possible, the application is itself open to the community.
We will be populating this wiki in part through user feedback, and we welcome your help! If you discover a problem/solution during the installation or use of Zentific, feel free to add it here. Questions and other concerns may be directed to contact@zentific.com. Those familiar with IRC are welcome to join our the #zentific channel on the Freenode network at irc.freenode.net.
Zentific development is ongoing; implementation progress may be followed by checking out the XMLRPC API listed below.
