Imagine ... trying to get something as simple as a quote for Lustre support ...

- 1 minutes read - 176 words… and not being able to. Seems most of the folks at Sun/Oracle haven’t heard of Lustre. I had to explain it to them on several calls yesterday. They didn’t understand why someone would want to pay for support of a GPL licensed system … er … ah … mebbe we found some real nice gotchas, and want to get Sun to work on them, and give us a hand in ameliorating them? I know … too early into the acquisition to really know, but some of the responses have been interesting thus far. If you know how to get a Lustre support contract out of Sun/Oracle, please, by all means, send me your telephone number. I’d like to shorten the time it takes to walk these trees until we accidentally find the right people. (I shouldn’t complain, as I am so far behind on my own work in generating quotes … the irony is not lost on me … in our part it is due to a very healthy demand, and an ever expanding pipeline)
