At the risk of both thread drift and espousing personal opinions (yeah, 
everyone's got one!)....

If you are running a platform other than Linux, then KVM can be your 
friend. We use VMware for that application as there are various other 
management tools available that are useful to us as a service provider, 
and we're not afraid of licensing costs for those benefits when 
reasonable.   Comparatively, we found that KVM works, but is nowhere 
near as refined or elegant.  Both KVM and VMware can suffer a bit from 
the "jack of all trades, master of none" syndrome, but overall we just 
find VMware the superior (albeit more expensive) choice. If we're 
running Windows or *BSD (virtualized pfSense, for instance), that's our 
platform.

For virtualizing BlueOnyx, we are big fans of Aventurin{e} 
(http://www.aventurin.net), which is the sister project to BlueOnyx. 
It uses OpenVZ as the underlying virtualization engine, and overlays the 
GUI that would be familiar to any BlueOnyx user.  We use this 
exclusively now for new BlueOnyx VMs as well as various other Linux 
distros.   It's extremely lightweight which allows a lot of bang for the 
buck in terms of the number of guests you can run on given hardware.  In 
addition, there's a fairly well-developed API available so we can tie it 
into our billing & client management systems.   Automated 
setup/teardown, customer-initiated reboots & backups, etc are all possible.

Yes, indeed.   That's the automated method of doing the cut > save >

Glad to hear it's working for you now.
