Was just wondering if we could get more details on what is planned for the upcoming KVM server line.
Will it be standard VPS only, or will we see KVM versions of the storage line?
Will it be built on the same control panel behind the current VPS servers?
Will we be allowed to load our own ISOs for the install, or at least make requests for more 'official' ones (like OpenBSD and others)?
If it is using the in-house control panel, will we be able to choose our network and disk devices (e.g., virtio vs. generic Realtek vs. virtualized Intel NIC)

Thank you for questions. Here is a bit information about upcoming new KVM servers:
Will it be standard VPS only, or will we see KVM versions of the storage line?
At the moment there is a plan to release KVM only for standard servers. Storage server may be considered as well.
Will it be built on the same control panel behind the current VPS servers?
Yes.
Will we be allowed to load our own ISOs for the install, or at least make requests for more 'official' ones (like OpenBSD and others)?
Custom ISO's will not be supported at the time being. We will offer a ton of pre-built OS images, as well as FreeBSD.
If it is using the in-house control panel, will we be able to choose our network and disk devices (e.g., virtio vs. generic Realtek vs. virtualized Intel NIC)
Features like this will be implemented according to demand. At the moment there is no plans to offer such functionality on initial platform launch.
When the new servers KVM will be released?
we plan to make it available by the end of Autumn.
