Re: [SR-Users] [ot] virtualization systems

Hi Daniel, not evaluation, but if you use it in production then you are required to buy a OS support contract. We however have standardised on Sun hardware which includes support for Solaris 11 in our production environment. So, yes a good point you make if you are going to be using in production on non-sun hardware you will need to pay Oracle ;( cheers Jason On Wed, Aug 29, 2012 at 7:46 AM, Daniel-Constantin Mierla &lt;miconda(a)gmail.com > > On 8/28/12 6:09 PM, Jason Penton wrote: > > No. We use solaris11. > > > IIRC, solaris 11 was free for evaluation purposes, has that changed? > > BTW, since mainstream opensolaris was discontinued, anyone knows what is > the best derivative (if that is at all)? > > Cheers, > Daniel > > > But yes on any hardware > On Aug 28, 2012 5:56 PM, "Daniel-Constantin Mierla" &lt;miconda(a)gmail.com&gt; > >> Hello, >> >> On 8/28/12 10:33 AM, Jason Penton wrote: >> >> Hey Daniel, >> >> We use Solaris virtualisation and it works great.
