Virtual machine metrics​

VM metrics now include per-device detail for disks and network interfaces:

• Per Virtual Disk I/O and IOPS — see read/write throughput and operations per second for each individual virtual disk attached to a VM, making it easier to identify which disk is under pressure
• Per Network Interface I/O — see transmit and receive throughput for each network interface on a VM, so you can pinpoint which interface is saturated

Deployment metrics​

Deployment metrics now include additional breakdowns at the adapter group and disk pool level:

• Per Adapter Group I/O — network throughput broken down by adapter group, so you can monitor traffic distribution across your network segments
• Per Disk Pool I/O — read and write throughput per disk pool, giving you visibility into how storage load is distributed across your pools

These metrics are available on both Cluster and Standalone deployments. Read more in the Metrics documentation.

The new provisioning experience lets you upload a Windows ISO directly to a template and deploy VMs without any further manual intervention. Gallium automatically provisions the appropriate drivers during deployment, removing what was previously a multi-step process.

Unattended deployment support​

You can now supply your own autounattend.xml and first-run PowerShell scripts as part of the template. This enables fully automated deployments including domain joining, software installation, and any other first-boot configuration.

Answer files are encrypted end-to-end between the Console and the Hypervisor, so sensitive content such as domain join credentials is protected in transit.

What this means for you​

• Faster deployments — go from ISO to running VM with no manual steps in between
• Greater flexibility — bring your own answer files and first-run scripts to tailor deployments to your environment

Second generation Hypervisor​

Both products are built on our second generation Hypervisor, which brings a broad set of new capabilities:

• PCIe Passthrough — assign physical devices directly to virtual machines
• Distributed Storage — shared storage across cluster hypervisors without external dependencies
• Live Migration — move running VMs between hypervisors with no downtime
• High Availability — automatic failover to keep workloads running if a hypervisor goes down
• Hardware Profiles — more granular control over virtual machine hardware configuration
• Real-time Metrics — live monitoring of both cluster and virtual machine resources
• Adapter Groups — active/failover network configurations for network resilience

New Installer ISO​

Cluster and Standalone Hypervisors are deployed using our new Installer or Netboot ISO. Providing a more typical boot experience than Edge. Installations are performed in the Console interactively.

Built on the second generation Hypervisor​

Standalone is built on the same second generation Hypervisor as Cluster, bringing all of its expanded functionality to a single-server deployment. This includes PCIe passthrough, hardware profiles, and real-time metrics.

Designed for single-server deployments​

Alongside the shared feature set, Standalone includes functionality specifically tailored to single-server environments:

• Single NIC support — run the full hypervisor on a single network interface
• DHCP support — obtain an IP address automatically, removing the requirement for static IP configuration

Provisioning​

Standalone deployments can be created and managed through the Console and installed using the same Installer ISO as Cluster deployments.

Cluster is built on our second generation Hypervisor, a ground-up rebuild that introduces a wide range of new capabilities. This includes PCIe passthrough, distributed storage, live migration, high availability, hardware profiles, and real-time metrics.

Multi-hypervisor architecture​

Cluster deployments support multi-node topologies with shared storage and automatic workload failover. VMs can be live migrated between nodes with no downtime, and the platform will automatically restart workloads on healthy nodes in the event of a failure.

Provisioning​

Cluster deployments can be created and managed through the Console and installed using our new Installer ISO, making it straightforward to integrate into existing deployment processes.

What this means​

SOC 2 Type II is an independent audit that evaluates an organization's controls over an extended period, verifying that security practices are not only well-designed but consistently operated. This certification demonstrates that Gallium's systems and processes meet rigorous standards for safeguarding customer data.

Our commitment to security​

Security has always been foundational to the Gallium platform. Achieving SOC 2 Type II certification reflects the ongoing investment we make in protecting our customers' infrastructure and data. We will continue to maintain and build upon these standards as the platform evolves.
