The OpenNebula project is proud to announce the availability of the beta release of OpenNebula 3.4 (Wild Duck). The software brings countless valuable contributions by many members of our community, and specially from Research in Motion, Logica, Terradue 2.0, CloudWeavers, Clemson University, and Vilnius University.
  
-This release is focused on extending the storage capabilities of OpenNebula, including support for multiple Datastores. The new functionality overcomes the single Image Repository limitations in previous versions. The use of multiple datastores provides extreme flexibility in planning the storage backend and important performance benefits, such as balancing I/O operations between storage servers, defining different SLA and QoS for different VM types or users, or easily scaling the cloud storage.+This release is focused on extending the storage capabilities of OpenNebula, including support for multiple Datastores.

See below for highlights in these components.
  
 With this beta release, Wild Duck enters feature freeze and we'll concentrate on fixing bugs and smoothing some rough edges. This release is aimed at testers and developers to try the new features or to migrate existing drivers (specially TM drivers) to be compatible with the new version. With this beta release, Wild Duck enters feature freeze and we'll concentrate on fixing bugs and smoothing some rough edges.
