but I think you can expect a beta with a month or two, perhaps less. We've already got an alpha that we've handed out in limited quantities.
Actually, I read about that alpha; one of my coworkers was at SCALE 9x, if I'd known at the time I would have had him pick up a CD ;).
Once you dive under the controlled UI (which you can do), you basically are breaking your support contract.
Meh :(, that rules it out for me; I need to run our own custom stuff to integrate it into our identity management platform.
add-on features like HA clustering, the management UI, auto-tiering/auto-sync, etc.
HA clustering I would actually be interested in, depending on pricing; but unfortunately not in an appliance-only availability.
There have been some discussions, but figuring out how to make that commercially worthwhile is challenging
Agreed. If not support contracts, what about engineering services available on a time/materials basis? That would cover my main concern of having expertise available in case of a critical failure. There might also be occasions where a specific bug has already been identified, but local resources lack sufficient time or knowledge to efficiently fix it. One of the people I've spoken to off-line mentioned a handful of known opensolaris bugs he'd really like to see resolved in NCP and would be willing to pay somebody to make it happen.
