Xen Orchestra

Purpose: Xen Orchestra visualizes, manages, backs up and delegates XCP-ng or XenServer infrastructure across any number of pools and sites without requiring an agent.
Deployment: The Xen Orchestra Appliance is a pre-built virtual machine that is deployed on a host, while Xen Orchestra can also be installed from source.
Web interfaces: XO 6 and XO 5 run as two web interfaces on the same server and use the same data.
Backups: The product supports full, incremental, chained, mirrored and replicated backups, backup encryption, recovery checks and file-level restore.
REST API: The public supported automation interface is Xen Orchestra's REST API, documented with a live OpenAPI reference.
Automation integrations: The platform provides Ansible inventory, Packer and Terraform providers, Kubernetes recipes and webhooks.
Storage integration: Amazon S3 and other S3-compatible storage can be used as backup destinations.
Authentication: Xen Orchestra supports LDAP or SSO authentication plugins, role-based access controls and API scoping.
Security model: Vates describes XCP-ng and Xen Orchestra as fully open and auditable, and says security updates are not gated behind paid support.
Free operation: When the 30-day trial ends, the appliance continues working with the Free feature set and retains data and configuration.
Support limits: Essential includes six support tickets per year, while Enterprise includes 24/7 support and a one-hour severity-1 response time.
Host limits: The plan comparison lists a maximum of three hosts per pool for Essential and Essential+ and 64 hosts per pool for Pro and Enterprise.
Security advisory: Vates reported a Xen Orchestra privilege-escalation vulnerability affecting versions before 6.9.0 and stated that version 6.9.0 released on 2026-09-30 fixes it.
