+Description: Cluster-based virtualization management software
+ Ganeti is a virtual server cluster management software tool built on top
+ of the Xen virtual machine monitor and other Open Source software. After
+ setting it up it will provide you with an automated environment to
+ manage highly available virtual machine instances.
+ .
+ It has been designed to facilitate cluster management of virtual servers
+ and to provide fast and simple recovery after physical failures using
+ commodity hardware.
+ .
+ It will take care of operations such as redundant disk creation and
+ management, operating system installation  (in cooperation with OS-specific
+ install scripts), startup, shutdown, failover of instances between physical
+ systems.
