Default Re: Experiences with Crossbeam C-Series

Hello Christopher,

I should firstly congratulate you on your appointment at Crossbeam. I hope your first few weeks has been interesting and rewarding.

Your comments, whilst interesting in themselves do nothing to dispel the original poster's issues, who as a Crossbeam Customer *IS* disaffected by Crossbeam.

As a Crossbeam Customer you were exposed to X-series which I said was a different beast than C, and largely unaffected by the C quality issues.

Perhaps you could address the real problems with the C-series that the original poster had and that I merely added to with truthful comment and NOT anecdotal comment. Can you deny the C10 and C30 had disk problems? Can you deny that the Dual-CPU C-series had a crippled kernel that did not support SMP? Can you deny that the support fix was to boot the UNI kernel? Can you deny that the NP on the C30 cannot be used with CHKP ClusterXL?

If you can refute all these comments then I take my hat off that the issues have finally been fixed, however, merely pointing to the new C2/6/12/25 do not alleviate existing Customer issues.
