      @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 πŸ™‚

                  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 πŸ™‚

                      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 πŸ™‚ 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 πŸ˜₯ ). 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? πŸ˜‰

                              @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.

                                  I'm the president of a general contractor in the South. I've also been our IT person for 30+ years.

                                  Last fall, when the winds of change at VMware began blowing, I started looking into alternatives for esxi. I happened upon videos about XCP-NG from Tom at Lawrence Systems and I decided to install it on a test system.

                                  Its a great product and I've enjoyed getting to know it!

                                      I understand, it's true. We will say that it is always more friendly in this native language and easier to discuss complex subjects.

                                            Hi John,

                                            It works, I'm looking at it πŸ™‚
                                            Exactly, well done 😜

                                            If your wondering how it was recognised, you see I have watched Ghost In The Shell too! It introduced me to Japanese Anime and I was introduced to it by Media Studies students at the college I went to! While I was studying during a free period at the college on my IT course which was being studied at the time.

                                            You see I was in the library (Bibliothèque) at the time and the media studies classroom was right next door.

                                            I wouldn't be too surprised if there was two way inspiration between Ghost In The Shell and the Cyberpunk novel used for the base of Cyberpunk 2077 video game!
