Thanks, Dave! I have had one such reply off list. Are you encouraging them to post on list despite the commercial nature of the response? ________________ Alan Johnson alan@datdec.com Date Format PSA <http://xkcd.com/1179/> On Wed, Sep 18, 2013 at 5:16 AM, Dave Neary <dneary@redhat.com> wrote:

We are looking into professional support options for oVirt. We are investigating the obvious path of switching to RHEV, but the effort involved is still TBD. So, we are wondering if there are other companies out there that migth provide direct support, training, or consulting services for oVirt.

I would welcome alternate service vendors proposing services around oVirt - I think there would also be a great opportunity to collaborate with the oVirt community and improve the project for everyone if your company is offering support.

Of course I am biased, but I think that RHEV is the best choice for a professionally supported oVirt installation today.

Thanks, Dave.

I think we'd be very interested in getting them involved in the community. I wasn't aware of any other support options around oVirt other than the RHEV product suite from Red Hat.

That's very interesting as most other projects sometimes react not really cool if users/companies announce commercial services. The company I'm working for / I co-founded (company name ovido - located in Vienna, Austria) is offering professional services for amongst others Linux, monitoring and virtualization like consulting, trainings but we also support these installations. Our main virtualization focus is RHEV, but for some customers oVirt is - for various reasons - the solution which fits better their need. As we really like oVirt and RHEV we try to spread out the word with magazine articles or presentations on open source events (mainly in Austria and Germany). Besides this I started open sources project like the check_rhev3 Nagios/Icinga plugin and the ui plugin for Icinga/Nagios. What we don't do is announce our offering of commercial services in an obvious way in mailing lists. Regards, René

Mike
