      I'm a broad spectrum hobbyist when it comes to software and technology. At first I started with my own blog and using a vps on digital ocean, and quickly became interested in the devOps side of web development. I moved onto Continuous Integration (Atlassian Bamboo), then I was interested in Vagrant, provisioning with puppet & chef. I work in manufacturing, but I have a long list of projects for my personal home/office lab. Cheers!

          Hi All,

          I started my career in the 80's modifying Bulletin Board dial-up systems and migrated towards telecom TCP/IP over RS422 applications and was hooked on telecom ever since. At 56 I am still going strong with tech and probably will never stop as it is my passion.

          I am a developer/architect of DPDK and VPP applications, I am now looking into XO as I am curious about passthrough capabilities and I am currently testing various providers of level 1 tech.

          My long term focus is VNF capacity and Throughput, I am working through solutions for Data centres that have capacity problems.

          Look forward to interacting with everyone.

                  @olivierlambert hi there, I'm in a non-IT related department, very quiet.
                  long story, stress, poor payment, low resources... I think I will be happier here.

                  by the way I will keep on the email subscription so I keep informing on how is your way going.

                  good luck with your projects !!

                      Hello !
                      I'm a senior linux/unix administrator/system engineer and I'm also working with networks (L2/L3).
                      I first started using virtualization in 2006 on a Debian/xen basis, then Xenserver 5.5 -> 6.0.2 -> 6.2 -> 7.2 -> xcp-ng ...
                      I've also been using xen-orchestra since the first public version.

                          Hi!

                          I'm a Citrix engineer working for an MSP in the UK, just started using XCP-NG for my home Citrix lab as XenServer had issues with my Lenovo M80q mini system, so I came across XCP-NG 8.3 and it works a charm so far.

                          Got an MCS deployment working with no issues yet.

                          Thought id stop by and say hello while I read through all the useful posts on here.

                          Michael

                            Hello @MichaelMyers84 !

                            We'd like to get an official support for Citrix things on top of XCP-ng (since it's the same API than XS), maybe in the future 🙂

                              Hello, I am a systems engineer for a mid sized ISP. I have been mostly a VMware/Vsphere admin going back to 2007 back in my enterprise days. Even played with XEN project a bit prior to jumping into ESX. I started using xcp-ng in my personal lab to prototype cloud-init scripts, Ansible playbooks and other IaC toolstacks, and to have a solid reliable virtualization stack to run my hosted apps, email, and websites. Thanks to the xcp-ng team for such a stable and easy to use system! The support is top notch!

                                Thank you @dj423 ! We hope to convince more and more VMware users to make the transition, there's a good momentum around this recently 🙂

                                  Hello!

                                  I'm system and network engineer.
                                  I have started work with xenserver since 2013 (I think it was opensource 6.2 version).
                                  In 2015 I started deploing my own control panel for hosting based on xenserver.

                                  After Citrix closed free version I started to move to XCP-ng.

                                  Now I'm playing with xcp-ng + GPU, testing performance in different scenarios and sharing on this forum 🙂 I believe that knowledge should be open so that everyone can move forward faster.

                                      Hello team,

                                      I am a system and network integrator in the defense sector.
                                      I have deployed the XCP-NG hypervisor for our tools (moving from ESXI 5.1 to XCP-NG 8.2 😥 ). I have been working in IT for several years now and have previously used XenServer 6.5, so I'm not completely lost. As for virtualization technologies, I am agnostic (Proxmox, VMware, Hyper-V, etc.).
                                      Looking forward to exchanging ideas with you!

                                      PS: Is it possible to have a sub-forum for French speakers? 😉

                                          @Glitch Hey Glitch! Make sure you check out the maintenance mode for SR, along with its web hook! An idea I came up with during Covid-19 pandemic, and Vates implemented.

                                          Something which can aid large deployments of XCP-ng and Xen Orchestra, such as your employer's one!

                                          By the way nice avatar! A fan of Japanese Anime I take it? Especially the Ghost in the Shell franchise, Laughing Man in Stand Alone Complex.

                                            Hi!

                                            I have been using Xen for nearly 10 years, now. I started with VirtualIron and changed over to Xenserver when Citrix closed VI.
                                            My use-case is mostly a company-network of a mid-size-company.

                                            I know this is an old post...but..I loved VirtualIron
                                            btw, Oracle "killed" (aka bought) VirtualIron.
