- Extends Xen to cover multiple hosts
 - VM lifecycle: live snapshots, checkpoint, migration
 - Resource pools: live migration, auto configuration, disaster recovery
 - Flexible storage and networking
 - Event tracking: progress, notification
 - Upgrade and patching capabilities
 - Real-time performance monitoring and alerting
