Hello,
Due to the awesome product that LVS is I have obtained the support of
LVS is not a product in the traditional sense of "a product" you get
from marketing. It's a modular software component that can be (most of
the time smoothly) integrated into your existing network infrastructure
to provide benefits in reliability, performance, high availability and
others.
management to deploy LVS as the load-balancer for our new CRM
deployment.
Which management?
Let me explain...
Siebel CRM has a built-in load balancer.
Aha, we're speaking of Oracle products. Another business field where
Oracle is become #1 provider by buying technology. Very well.
It has several limitations
which affect uptime and maintenance windows.
Care to elaborate on these limitations? I was unable to find any
specification on Siebel CRM.
They also support 3rd party load-balancers. Their support configurations
consist of:
-Cisco CSS Content Service Switches
-F5 Networks Big IP
This is interesting, considering that Oracle has once participated, with
significant base funding, in developing the world's craziest hardware
load balancer. Unfortunately money ran out, before they got out of the
prototype status. I don't know how oracle.com nowadays is load balanced
but they sure do have a very high uptime.
We are considering approaching Siebel to get their approval and support
of using LVS instead.
That would be interesting ... to run Nasdaq with LVS!
Thoughts?
On what exactly? Do you have or know anyone of the board of directors at
Siebel?
Ideas?
Get Oracle to do some investing into getting LVS user land ready for
easy deployment. Maybe they want to write L7 code for their middleware
framework.
Help?
Help with what?

If you want to sell your 86 Buick, I'd be very interested. I need a car
to drive down from Oregon to Costa Rica next April/May; if possible I
should be able to transport my 6'8 long-board and my 5'9 fish. However
with that particular case of car, I'll probably need to get a special
contract with Shell ... :)

This appears to be a great opportunity for this project.
Apologies for coming off a bit bold, but your email is a bit vague.
However input and effort into promoting LVS is always very welcome.
Thanks for your time,
Roberto Nibali, ratz
