That's the point of being "on the ground" for a partner/reseller, I don't think we have a reseller which is not reselling "locally"
good point.. lol

Speaking of on the ground, I Google Mapped your address from that link.
Did you see me looking in your windows, haha.

@BRRABill Got it. Not yet, that's also because XenServer market isn't really big (I don't say "confidential" but close)

Huh?
I said I was looking at your business location on Google Maps Street View. Were you responding to someone else?

Just thinking on how the documentation here at Mangolassi.it is better than XenServer's official documentation, and heading to lunch.
There is Xen here at my new job. It looks simple. I havent spent much time in it and already feel comfortable.
What are they using to manage it?
XenCenter
Yeah I don't understand why you haven't built an XO vm yet, it's free to do so. And it really gets you to understand how solid of a product it is.
Because he literally just started.

@BRRABill Sorry watching TV at the same time (and it's already 10:20PM here)
I thought you search for a list of our reseller with a map with everyone of them
We are based in France, in Grenoble.

Yes I was looking at your street.
I feel like I've been on vacation, or as @scottalanmiller would probably say, holiday.

@DustinB3403 said in What Are You Doing Right Now:
@olivier I agree here with @scottalanmiller, sticking to the freemium approach is a horrid idea.
Moving to, you mean. THey are not doing freemium right now, just not making it obvious enough that they are not. I don't think @olivier realizes how many companies walk away the moment that they see freemium "looking" products like @Texkonc's company did this morning. The free product should be a loss leader to do the marketing for them, that's how RH makes it work. Their free stuff makes them a household name, then larger companies pay for support. That's how the model works. Freemium just makes people look elsewhere before even getting started. That's why everyone in this community ignored XO until we found out it was fully open sourced.

In short, a "smaller" LHC, but with a LOT of machines doing heavy CPUs task, running a LOT of XS hosts.

That's my opinion/experience after 2y on the Open Source business (as a primary thing for my company I mean). Feel free to not share this point of view, but it cames from the field
How many of each company have you run?
My experience comes from the field as well. From a customer side, this is what I see businesses using to choose software. Freemium is almost an instant "ignore" when it comes to products. It means that it isn't worth deploying to test. Pure open means that I can safely deploy and then decide if I want to keep it, pay for support, etc.
-
Come on, as a customer/software consumer, you always want cheaper software, and that makes sense
(I don't have any problem with that).Open Source is at best a side product of the price choice, but not the thing that would make your decision.
