Hi ! I am the suns owner of a tiny local business and I am looking for a solution to some circumstances we are having. I would like to ask you if openNebula can be used for this scenario.
There are many computers being used in this business. Most of them under windows, and a typical disordered network. It had happened more than once, that disk fails or a new windows is installed by some other third-party with a different office suite, and because of this some data is lost. This data usually means a lot of money and stress. It is hard to solve this by using linux everywhere, or to change the office suite, or to do backups all the time. Because most people working here are quite old, and they don't like changes. They can only use tools like Excel and some basic copy&paste through windows networks. We usually have more than one computer on, too much useless time at the day because of the distribution of information. I am thinking on installing openNebula in a 2-core computer with one 160 Gb disk + other 750 Gb disk, and maybe some additionals tinier backup disks. I am reading the documentation and I have doubts whether it can be installed in only one computer, or several hosts are required. I would be using guests and VNC clients to store the different software's and files, used by each part of the business. So my parents and employees will be working with a windows inside a window. Almost no change for them. And they could open it from any computer on the LAN including laptops. This way i can do periodical backups and share it with samba, because there is a good chance that I would not be around to solve any kind of crisis. Having this in mind, do you think experts that it is the case scenario meant for openNebula ?
