Review on Cumulus by Jonathan Fernandez

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Highly Customized Powerful Operating System

We use Cumulus Linux in our network. It is a very powerful OS - highly customizable, and provides excellent performance. Easy to deploy, easy to use. It has a simple GUI, and good documentation online. I have not been able to find the documentation for Cumulus-OS that is as complete as the linux OS, but most of the linux documentation can be found in the webpages. It is difficult to find specific information about Cumulus in the available documentation. We use it in our network, and it performs well and has fewer crashes than linux. I like that it can be used as an appliance or managed by another platform such as Cisco UCS Manager/NX gateway etc. It also has many features which are not available in other products for example VMWare vMotion support. If you want to have high availability solutions then this product will help your business grow because if one node goes down there is always another ready to take over its duties.
