<p class=MsoNormal>Hi all,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>We just released a virtualization platform (GPL licensed) <a
href="http://pve.proxmox.com">http://pve.proxmox.com</a> . <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>On this platform, pre-build virtual appliance can be started
within seconds as we use <a href="http://openvz.org">http://openvz.org</a> here.
Please note, by using OS virtualization there is little overhead (just 1 to 3 %
performance loss, really!) – this is absolutely the fastest technology
for Linux server virtualization. (openVZ is the basis of Virtuozzo, the
commercial market leader in the VPS market). <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>We are also building virtual appliances for the use in the
enterprise, e.g. our own mail gateway, a web filter proxy (both are commercial)
or a mediawiki appliance and many others will follow in the next months.
(please note, Proxmox VE is beta, but this will change soon – subscribe here
for updates <a href="http://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Mailing_Lists">http://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Mailing_Lists</a>
) <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>We use and love RT since years so we want to contribute also
a RT appliance – I personally know a lot of companies who wants RT but
they cannot install it – too difficult. We will solve this problem.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>As we are a Debian focused company, we prefer to build
the appliance based on Debian Etch (32bit) and it should be using the stable RT
packages, mysql or postgres (which database is preferred?).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>So I would be happy if anyone can comment our plans and give
us feedback. Also I would appreciate feedback from Best Practical.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Thanks, <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Best Regards,<o:p></o:p></p>
