Visit Xen Orchestra

Xen Orchestra is a web interface for administering XenServer and XCP-ng virtual infrastructure, created by Vates. It addresses the need to manage pools, hosts and virtual machines from a single place, while also covering backup, disaster recovery and cloud-style resource delegation. The product is agentless and accessible from any device.

Its capabilities include VM creation and management, statistics and metrics, full and delta backup, continuous replication, file-level restoration, ACLs and self-service, Cloudinit support, Docker management, multiple authentication providers, and backup reports delivered to Slack. Related components include XOSTOR, XO Proxy and a backup Proxy.

Xen Orchestra is aimed at administrators of Citrix Hypervisor (formerly XenServer) and XCP-ng environments. It is available as a downloadable solution and as the XOA virtual appliance, with a free trial of the Premium Edition and a free download option. All editions include pro support and monthly updates.
