FlexiScale, FlexiScale…
May 9, 2008Well there’s been a lot happening in Camp FlexiScale since Tony’s last post.
The developers have worked hard to bring more choice in OS image and we now have the following:
Windows Server (32 and 64-bit)
CentOS 5 (32 and 64-bit)
Debian (32 and 64-bit)
Ubuntu 6.06LTS (8.04LTS to follow soon)
Most of these images have been available because you guys have asked for them. We’ve always been and always plan to be customer led when it comes to development. We feel it’s important that you guys have your say which is one of the reasons that Jonathan has created the “wish list” thread on the FlexiScale forum. Of course, we won’t be able to cater for every request but where there’s clear demand we’ll certainly do our best to give you guys what you want so by all means go on and have your say.
FlexiScale is now growing at the phenomenal rate of 1% a DAY!
So how come that we’re getting this growth yet my phone’s gone quiet?
Online signups!
Since the online signups went live around 90% of people are signing up themselves online. This is great as it really shows how easy and intuitive the whole process is from signing up to provisioning and utilising your servers. Exciting times!
Please remember though that there are still some real live human beings at XCalibre that are happy to talk to you and help you with anything you need or any questions that you’d like answered. Besides, you’ve usually got some really interesting projects on that we miss hearing about.
We still want to make sure that our new online signups are getting on ok so what we’ll be doing is calling you. You don’t need to panic and hide from your phone, all we’ll be after is a friendly chat to make sure that you’re getting on alright and have everything that you need. So we hope you won’t mind.
We’ll be updating the blog on a more regular basis to keep everyone posted on where we are and what we’re up to so watch this space.
John
