Hi,
IT consultant/CTO, started using XS at 6.0 (for Sass comany and friendly web sites hosting). Nothing special really, mostly local storage non pool servers (almost doing software raid but never dared....) .
I recognize myself more in this project than XS 7.x new direction. Probably because I don't match Citrix's current commercial target.
I believe it is incredibly hard for Citrix to cater for all market segments and XCP-ng seems to be as gracefull as possible an approach to please a greater number of supporters while promoting the quality of Citrix's work.
Also been following XOA for a while (to give our devs autonomy) and I hope that we can continue a constructive and respectfull collaboration with Citrix and secure the future of XS, XCP-ng and XOA.
Bravo team!
