Looking back a few months, looking ahead …

Post by grahamperrin » Thu Jan 24, 2013 2:42 am

In July 2012:

… GreenBytes' long-term goal is to merge our storage optimization technology with ZEVO to create something entirely new …


Then came the surprise August 2012 announcement of the IO Offload Engine, then the promised September 2012 release of the first Community Edition of ZEVO.

I don't know what's next for ZEVO, but I guess that major developments involving any other new product from GreenBytes will be strictly under wraps until the time is right.

Roundup

Post by grahamperrin » Thu Mar 14, 2013 2:30 pm

A roundup from viewtopic.php?t=2022 and viewtopic.php?t=2037

GreenBytes now offers three solutions:

  • IO Offload Engine
  • vIO
  • ZEVO

I expect an extended flurry of activity around vIO, then more news about ZEVO.

Brewing with ZEVO

As much I'd like to know what's brewing, and as much as I like open source, I also like periods of secrecy. Without this, there'd be no surprise …

An update would be greatly appreciated, but I'm not desperate. YMMV.

OS X 10.9 compatibility with ZEVO

With the seeding and eventual release of 10.8, just one Mountain Lion-related bug became noticeable. The fix was made around a week after the first GreenBytes release of ZEVO.

It's possible that 10.9 will be less compatible than 10.8. I would not say likely.

Silver Edition availability

Post by grahamperrin » Tue Jun 04, 2013 12:00 am

Re this topic's viewtopic.php?p=3533#p3533 and more recent viewtopic.php?&t=2184

For Silver Edition, neither the full installer nor the update are redistributed. For a long while after ZEVO was transferred to GreenBytes, the updater alone was distributed by Ten's Complement but that distribution ceased probably a few months ago.

Considering the bugs in Silver that are fixed in Community Edition 1.1.1, I recommend very strongly against working with Silver.
