Except HP Server Automation[1], HP Operations Orchestration[2], HP Network Automation[3], and that's just Opsware products. That doesn't touch on the lasting transformational aspects of his work at UIUC, or Netscape.

- dredmorbius 14y agoOpsware is a freaking joke.
- jmj42 14y agoDo mind elaborating? In fact, Opsware created products that (still) play an important role in large, private, datacenters. Hell, for what it's worth, their 3 main products were actually created to manage their own infrastructure. Which part of that is the joke?
- dredmorbius 14y agoThe deployment attempts I've seen have been spectacular failures. This goes back a few years (~2008), some things may have changed. Lack of a CLI accessible on managed nodes being a huge issue for datacenter work. Staggeringly deficient database performance. My recent experience has been with Puppet/Chef. They're still crufty in their own ways, but far more appropriate than Oopsware.
