Hi all,

we need customer reference from telcos/internet providers for our prospect customer project. It will be very kind if existing users from this area could provide reference for us. We need company name, approximate network size, and minimal information on what is being monitored (everything, only network equipment, etc.). You can post information here or send directly to me in private message. This information won't be published, only provided to our prospect customer.

Thank you!

Best regards,
Victor

Добрый день!

Нам для одного проекта требуются отзывы пользователей - провайдеров. Если кто-то может предоставить, будем очень благодарны. Надо знать название компании, кол-во устройств которое мониторится, примерно что мониторится (все, только сеть, и т.д.) - можно мне в личку. Публиковаться информация нигде не будет, мы только предоставим ее потенциальному заказчику.

Спасибо!

Hi all!

NetXMS 2.0-M1 is released. This is first release in 2.0 branch. From now on we change version numbering scheme. Now it consists of only two numbers followed by qualifier. Qualifier could me M (for Milestone) which indicates milestone toward release, RC (for Release Candidate), and no qualifier for stable release. Patches after release will be indicated by adding third number.
We do lot of changes in system internals, and much more expected in next milestone versions. Although we do our best to test system before release, M versions may still be unstable, so upgrade with care and be prepared for rollback.
