When I check around for hosting services (I do it a lot, part of my job)
I always check availability of Solaris like OSs. I must say that the
result is sad.
Not withstanding available hosters, it should be kinda hard to find a
hoster when the/some devs are calling chaps who use OI in production
idiots and to wait for a stable release?
Since that take casts me amongst the "idiots", I beleive it has
always been the case that a company adopts what it can best support.
One end of that is windows, thru Linux to Solaris at the other extreme.
Personally I'd rate the other end in the "idiot" category, but then
that is only my [expert] opinion and YMMV.
When I find another way that can let me recover Tb of nfs and cifs
file systems from an OS rebuild, in under 60 minutes, then my opinion
might change. Until then, it is still the best ZFS platform I have
available.
My experience was similar. I wanted ZFS for storage management.
Oracle wouldn't return my phone calls on support contract inquiries,
even though I tried for ~6 months.
Hence, OpenSolaris 2008.11 evolving into snv_134 then into
oi_147/oi_148 on the servers at work.
