Hi Daniel, not evaluation, but if you use it in production then you are required to buy a OS support contract. We however have standardised on Sun hardware which includes support for Solaris 11 in our production environment. So, yes a good point you make if you are going to be using in production

Hey Klaus, We use solaris as host AND guest ;) solaris is slightly different to normal VM systems in that you can't really load up "any OS" into the guest. There are branded zones that support a few flavours of linux (ala redhat, etc). However, in our experience the Solaris OS is really solid for

I haven't heard anyone using Asterisk in large production systems in other virtualization than OpenVZ. Asterisk depends a lot on timers and these aren't reliable enough in Vmware and Xen when putting load on the media server. I would love to hear about a successful implementation :-) on other pl

Hi Daniel, here's from my personal experience: Our setup at ng-voice is a little weird sometimes: We've rented some virtual servers at a german provider (who uses Xen). On these virtual servers we've installed OpenVz, which for us is absolutely great, if you are just working with Linux-Servers. Wh
