Who is anyone using for consulting or support?

[Derek Ragona]

I am working with a firm here in the Chicago area and they are interested
in using FreeBSD, but would like to know of other outside support resources.

I have checked the links on the FreeBSD.org website but have not gotten
much response from firms on that list, which seems to be out of date.

So if you know of a firm that offers support and consulting on FreeBSD in
the continental US, please post back.

Thanks.

Aloha Derek,

Thats a "funny" request for FreeBSD. I have used it for years and
outside of hardware issues (which were non FreeBSD issues) it just works.

I was unfortunately involved with the install of a M$ system recently
doing "network cable" trouble shooting for the company. The problems
they had were all Microsoft running Msql data base and it took 4 weeks
and 2 outside support companies to resolve these issues.

If they have previously used M$ and a data base I could see why they
would expect that outside support would be necessary.

You may find some independent sysadmins on this list who could help you
with any issues you may have.

Having seen your answers on this list I would think you could handle
most situations you may encounter.

I wish you success.

Hi Derek,

I met the folks from ixSystems and the PC-BSD project at BSDCan earlier
this year, and I learned that ixSystems had just launched a FreeBSD
support service:
http://www.ixsystems.com/news/ixsystems-announces-professional-freebsd-and-pc-bsd-support-offering.html

I've cc'd Matt Olander, CTO of ixSystems, on this message, and I'm sure
he can help you out with your support requirements.

Best regards,
Greg
