Hi,

a few weeks ago I opened a survey asking oVirt users about how they use oVirt.

Here are the analytics of the survey:

https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1s3k4pq_U4vHTuUUKr6dOosGj_EGFxqEisansHlqnyyM/viewanalytics#responses

Most notable facts:

- 197 responses, two times the responses we got with the 3.6 survey!

- CentOS confims as the most used distribution for running oVirt engine (89.8%) and Hypervisors (74.3% which become 94.2% including oVirt Node which is a CentOS spin)

- Fedora is the second distribution (4.6%) mostly used only for runnig oVirt engine

- oVirt Node jumped from 7.1% on 3.6 survey to 19.9% in 4.1!

- Surprisingly we have someone running both engine and hypervisor on Ubuntu based system, within VMs. I'd like to hear more about this use case.

- Within other OS we had Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 and 7 and Scientific Linux (I guess 7, wasn't specified)

- Within the storage, there isn't a "winner" between NFS, Gluster and iSCSI. Within Other Storage, Fiber Channel is the most used. We had also: Ceph, DAS, EMC ScaleIO, GPFS

- Hosted Engine is the most used deployment choice with 58.4% (was 50.0% in 3.6)

- 65.8% of Hosted Engine users use it in Hyperconverged setup.

Thank you for your feedback and appreciation, we'll look into suggestions you sent in the survey.
