Not sure that this helps your case much but Encyclopaedia Britannica uses this on all of our unix server from content distribution to development, solaris and linux (~100 hosts). I installed it when I first got here and now it's integrated into our backup strategy, production deployments, host builds, some monitoring, and scheduled processes.
I've ingrained it into the culture such that it's used as a verb now..." are you gonna cfengine that process". I, like many other on this list, could provide a laundry list of things cfengine is useful for, and likely more cost effective for, though I don't believe I've seen a justification paper. Good luck convincing "management". -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of greg Sent: Wednesday, March 09, 2005 9:19 AM To: cfengine Subject: companies using cfengine ? Hi there, As a young unix sysadmin wanting to increase his ability to manage 70 Solaris servers easily, I'd like to persuade my boss that cfengine is the best solution for my company. The first question he asked me was: "And what known company use your software ? How can I be sure that this is not a freaky-shareware-that-will-break-my-servers ?" So I googled but didn't find anything. Do you have some examples of business/universities/whatever that use cfengine in production on hundreds of servers, and where it works ? Thaks a lot.
