If you are happy with some lower level tooling (and building some of the 
stuff yourself), Func offers
remote virt control using libvirt modules for Xen (incl. paravirt) as 
well as KVM, as well as remote hooks
for installation via koan (see below) -- and is very interested in new 
modules / tweaks from the people who use it.

You can also use Cobbler/koan to provide the missing provisioning half 
(so Func for control and Cobbler for installation)

I would suspect eventually ovirt will support other virt types since 
libvirt makes this possible.  
It's also planning on integrating Cobbler support in the future.

These solutions are more CLI/batch/scripting oriented though if you need 
to customize your own solution for specific
things (like the VCL case) you may want that anyway -- I'm not too 
familiar with the VCL to say for sure.
