Testing oVirt...

@FATeknollogee partners are all very separate. The actions of one really do not reflect on others.
-
@FATeknollogee these guys sound really bad. I mean I can understand business decisions, they might not be seeing much demand for RHV, compared to Openstack, so they shift resources away, but feeding a customer promises is not good practice.
Check out Storware instead, they are very much oriented towards oVirt and RHV

A bit OT but I've tried to find the suse competitor of RHV and I've not found it... Is there anything from suse?

Probably but I've not used them for that in a long time. Would be interesting to know.

@dyasny What are you doing w drovirt?
-
@matteo-nunziati frankly, I'm surprised SuSE still exists
-
@FATeknollogee nothing yet, been meaning to contribute some code, but I've been extremely busy with my daytime job lately

They where quite strong in Europe a few years ago. But the company has been sold so many times...

That is a sure way to kill a product. Everyone starts to feel uncertain and then people give up while waiting for the dust to settle and the more that people wait, the more that the dust doesn't settle and soon everyone just gives up on it.

@matteo-nunziati Novell used to be bigger than Microsoft, I was a huge fan of NetWare back in the day. But SuSE is not Novell, and they have been scrapping around for some final dregs of their former glory to capitalize on. Obviously, that cannot work for too long.
They kept the lights on in Europe because as a German company they could capitalize on a bit of customer loyalty there, but again, it's meaningless when you don't have a product to sell, and your competition does.

That's been a very long time
1992 probably. Pre-NT era. -

It's sad because they were so great in the early 2000s.

1992 probably. Pre-NT era.NT is what killed it. But in the mid-90s I had netware 3 based clusters serving multi-site locations with frame-relay links, running IPX/SPX and diskless clients. Good times

NT is what killed it.
Yeah, Netware on DR-DOS was very.... aged by that point.

Why DRDOS? NWDOS-7 was great, it could even do multithreading and networking

NWDos was just a rebranding. Still DR-DOS.

oh I know, but Novell added the networking stack in there, and iirc the multitasking was also developed in cooperation with Novell

Well, no one else was going to invest in DR-DOS. Jajaja
