Anyway, all of the above is just my opinion on things moving forward, hope this helps somebody.

Don't get me wrong; RHEV shouldn't be consigned to the eternal flames. Well...the version I'm using probably should.

Likely a legacy version issue. If running a RHEV version which requires Internet Explorer, that means:

- Deployment of RHEV 2.x, which was released on 3-NOV-2009 and EOL'd on 1-MAR-2013; or
- Deployment of RHEV 3.0, which was released on 18-JAN-2012 and EOL'd on 5-DEC-2012

When measured against expectations of a modern hypervisor, either version above would fall laughably short. To get a sense of the releases...

RHEV 2.1 (released 3-NOV-2009)
RHEV 2.2 (released 23-JUN-2010)
RHEV 3.0 (released 18-JAN-2012)
RHEV 3.1 (released 5-DEC-2012)   <--- this is when Windows requirements were dropped
RHEV 3.2 (released 11-JUN-2013)
RHEV 3.3 (released 21-JAN-2014)
RHEV 3.4 (released 16-JUN-2014)
RHEV 3.5 in planning now


I think the potential is there given the brainpower available. If the right decisions are made it can become a viable contender and potentially market leader.

Thanks! Today RHEV shines in security and performance. As time moves forward, many RHEV subsystems are being integrated with OpenStack services (e.g. neutron, glance in RHEV 3.4). The plan is to created spanned subsystems between RHEV and OpenStack environments -- allowing RHEV to participate in the development velocity of the OpenStack community.
