Uwe - I'll let others in the community speak to the effectiveness of GlusterFS. I'm obviously biased in that respect :)
However, one point I would like to make is that if you're curious about what we provide commercially, I would encourage you to contact someone here to get the information directly from the source. If you need longer than 30 days to evaluate, communicate that to someone here so that we can try to accommodate you. Thanks, John Mark Walker Gluster Community Guy ________________________________ From: [email protected] [[email protected]] on behalf of Uwe Kastens [[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, August 04, 2011 3:38 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [Gluster-users] gluster usable as open source solution Hi, I looked at gluster over the past year. It looks nice but the commercial option is not so interesting, since it is not possible to evaluate a storage solution within 30 days. More than one any other storage platform its a matter of trust, if the scaling is working. So my questions to this mailinglist are: - Anybody using the open source edition in a bigger production environment? How is the expierence over a longer time? - Since gluster seems only to offer support within the enterprise version. Anybody out there how is supporting the open source edition? Regards Uwe
