Windows 10 will be open source?
Well when Windows 10 comes out and since Microsoft is starting to open source it's programming language. Linux and Windows will be very much intertwined.
Nothing in that statement suggests that Windows 10 will be opened in any way.
How do you suggest windows 10 and linux will be intertwined if that's not what he meant. Windows 10 wouldn't really have an effect on languages going open source otherwise, it would just be language open source.
I didn't suggest that they would. But there is no change of Windows 1o being open and no one has suggested such a thing until you asked it (that I've heard.) This is the first time I've heard of anyone thinking that this could happen (in the near future.) Someday, maybe.
That languages are open suggests that things written "for Windows" will no longer be just "for Windows." That would be the intertwining, I would think, that .NET apps can run anywhere, even Linux and Mac.
They are not suggesting that Windows 10 will use Linux code.
.Net has long been open sourced. Very little use of it currently besides asp.net on on linux.
.NET is a language that had an open spec, but languages dont have source themselves. .NET was an open spec like Java, but like Java the language implementation was closed.
It was huge news this week that Microsoft opened the .NET implementation giving the .NET platform the ability to run everywhere. This is the first that there is open source involved. This is very new and a very big deal.

It has been suggested before: http://mangolassi.it/topic/4595/what-if-windows-went-open-source/23?page=1
That it should go open eventually is one thing. That Windows 10 is going to go open is another. There is zero chance that Windows 10 will be open. Someday the value to Windows being closed will be gone, but that time isn't now. And if they were going to do that, we'd know already.

Getting ready to migrate stuff over from Vultr to Digital Ocean. Clearly Vultr is not stable or working. Giving up on that, way too many problems.

DO and Vultr had the same price points, do I remember that correctly?

Correct. Effectively identical. One feels very enterprise, the other.... not so much.

I was able to build a replacement system on DO faster than I could get access to the dead Vultr system. DO for the win!
I foresee a lot of our stand alone workloads going to DO. Infrastructure, though, still needs Rackspace, Azure or Amazon.

Considering this, is DO a good place for an Elastix or FreePBX phone system?

We suspect so but that specific scenario, while discussed, has not been tested.

VMware is fully replaced with Hyper-v. I don't think I'm going to miss it.

We are doing that in a lot of places. There was a time where it made sense. But increasingly, HyperV and XenServer are the logical choices.

I've managed a ESXi infrastructure before, and currently manage a Hyper-V infrastructure, both were/are in the SMB range, 1-2 hosts 15-20 servers... but overall I haven't really found anything from ESXi that is lacking on Hyper-V. Still prefer XenServer when I get a chance though.

@coliver VMware vmotion works a little better if you do it a lot. I think most places I've had about 10 vmhosts. That's about it. I like hyper-v better for the most part.
-
What is driving the switch from VMWare to Hyper-V?
Are you also buying the MS management stuff for Hyper-V or just using it stand alone (aka completely free?)

That's mostly what I am finding now. NTG is in the process of going away from VMware and going to only HyperV and XenServer.

I've had VMware vMotion bring down a giant bank because it was unstable. Not a big fan.

Cost. HyperV gives you full HA, shared storage (via StarWind) and backup API all completely for free. That's huge. What's the upside to VMware with the latest rounds of HyperV and XS?

Or using free third party tools?

You can manage with RSAT remotely if domain joined.. But, if you have any windows server license you can install server with a GUI as well and install only the hyper-v role and you still get all your VOSE instances as long as no other roles are on the host. So far standard that's 2 VMs. And for datacenter unlimited. If you install other roles on the host (which isn't really the host its a virtualized system) you lose one VOSE right on standard.

Yup, lots of options.
