 What do you think? 

The decision to choose between RHEV and oVirt (or any other oVirt based
product) is a complex one:
* Do you want/need support?
* Do you need a certified platform for support of your other enterprise
applications (Oracle, SAP, etc)?
* Do you need a commitment to provide long term maintenance of the platform?

If you want or need any of these, then you will not not get them with
oVirt - however, you may get them with oVirt based products (and in
particular with RHEV). And while we work hard to ensure that oVirt works
well for our users, RHEV does have a much more rigorous QE cycle which
results in a more stable release which is supported by Red Hat than what
you get with oVirt.

That said, if you want to try newer features, you will get them 6 months
earlier in oVirt than in RHEV - so I would encourage people to use oVirt
for their test and preprod environments, and consider RHEV for
production, personally.


I hope this helps!

Cheers,
Dave.

[Users] It is Ok using OVIRT in production environment ?

2014-04-05 Thread tristan...@libero.it
Hello,

actually we have a cluster of RHEV nodes, and other one cluster with vmware 
nodes.

I'm so excited about the works that community are doing with ovirt, but all of 
my sysadmin said me that cannot be used in production, because there is not a 
very stable release and because they need to spend too much time in upgrading 
node and manager.

What do you think? 

Thanks
Marco
