Well, NexentaOS is free for any capacity, and its for the do-it-yourself people who those who want the general purpose OS. It also has ZFS root and full checkpointing of the system so one can always revert based on any failure (upgrade or otherwise). NexentaStor provides a bit more, including disaster recovery solutions, full auto-snapshot, auto-tiering, and auto-replication services, with specific retention controls. If one is looking for the full featured NAS with a batch-capable command line or a web based GUI with wizards, its for you. I guess is counts on the target audience. Back to the basics on distributions, I chose Nexenta early on since "live upgrade", BFU, and similar were not something that I could afford to rely upon for a production system. My case is different, as I service 100s to 1000s of users per NAS head and need fully reproducible solutions. The at home user could choose from anything, but may be safer with the same strong foundation that NexentaStor uses in NexentaOS :) > > > > > This message posted from opensolaris.org > _______________________________________________ > opensolaris-discuss mailing list > opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org > _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
