No. We use solaris11.


IIRC, solaris 11 was free for evaluation purposes, has that changed?

BTW, since mainstream opensolaris was discontinued, anyone knows what is the best derivative (if that is at all)?

Cheers,
Daniel

But yes on any hardware

    Hey Daniel,

    We use Solaris virtualisation and it works great. The zones (VMs
    per se) are lightweight, easy to administer and rock solid.

    btw, common misconceptions are that you need sun (oracle)
    hardware and that the os is not free. These are both false.

    so you use opensolaris, I guess, and then it can be any intel/amd
    arch server (e.g., dell, hp)?

    Cheers,
    Daniel


    cheers

        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. While Xen is a rather
        complete virtualization, OpenVz is lightweight and comes in
        handy, if
        you just want to logically separate servers. We've got each IMS
        component (P-/I-/S-CSCF, HSS, Application-Servers, Databases)
        running
        on a dedicated OpenVz Container, which is really great. We've
        even got
        a CentOs-Container running on a Debian OpenVz, which is started
        "on-demand" in order to build RPM-Packages. With OpenVz you
        can even
        move Containers from one host to another, theoretically with zero
        downtime (doesn't work with SEMS, don't know about other
        software).
        For our IMS-setup, we work with RTP-Relaying, which works
        great within
        virtualization, i cannot complain.

        At another customer (a fibre provider in Germany), we're
        running all
        the infrastructure on Xen-only. An infrastructure provider
        takes care
        of the administration, but those servers run poorly
        (RTP-Relaying is
        okay but everything else is really slow).

        Conclusion for me: VoIP on virtual servers can work great,
        but the
        virtualization infrastructure needs to be administered
        properly which
        may not be an easy task, if you are new in this subject.

        Kind regards,
        Carsten
