LiveTime is available as a virtual appliance, significantly reducing the time and effort installing and maintaining your system. The appliance currently supports VMware, XenServer and the Open Virtualization Format (OVF). The configuration menu provides access to the key functions of the LiveTime operating system as well as utilization statistics. Traditional installation times have moved from hours to minutes.

Performance & Security

One of the key advantages of our virtual appliance is that LiveTime takes care of the core infrastructure for you so you can be sure it has been secured and optimized for service delivery. The virtual machine is based around LiveTime’s own JeOS (Just Enough Operating System), a Linux distribution that has been specifically tuned for LiveTime performance.

Development & Testing

Not only is this virtualization great for production environments, but equally useful in test environments, where you can spin up a new instance for training or development as needed using desktop virtualization tools from VMware, Citrix and Sun.

SaaS Providers

LiveTime’s lightweight and scalable architecture has been specifically designed for SaaS service providers. New instances can be deployed instantly using a standard virtual machine console. Tenancy and isolation is handled at the appliance level with no data co-mingling. Each appliance can operate in as little as 512Mb of RAM and can scale accordingly. LiveTime also offers other multi-tenant approaches for SaaS providers using other architectures.
