What happens to the Clustering Support? Isn't it available anymore or ist it available but not open source?
Billy Bateman
says:
Ok so what do we do for clustering then. Dont really see any of the opensource features being of importance to anyone but the FBI for maybe the archiving or reporting when websites get in trouble for terrorist activity or something.
CLUSTERING: This should be important to anyone needed support for multiple servers to run a large site. Understand this costing, but think it should be on a server basis and not a per user cost.
Please let us know where to start getting info for the clustering support.

I just upgrade the openfire server to version 3.5 and now our Enterprise plug-in is not working. I tried downloading it, stopping the server and adding it to the plugin folder and starting the server again. I also tried uploading it with the form in the admin interface, but nothing works.
Please reply quickly as we use the enterprise plugin to let studens open a live chat with the support team.

Hey Andreas,
Clustering support is available to existing enterprise customers. You may want to contact your sales rep for more information. Anyway, support in the forums is always available.

in response to Billy Bateman:
Hey bbateman,
Clustering cannot be made open source since we are using a commercial product (Coherece) for the clustering solution. In other words, this is a license problem. Anyway, some people tried using other clustering implementations with Openfire and that worked for them.

in response to Kim Stenbryggen:
Hey stenbryggen,
Have you updated also to the latest enterprise plugin version? You may want to check the logs for errors. Also create a new thread in the discussion forums instead of a comment in this blog for faster response.

What is the ETA on the open source pieces? Very interested in Sparkweb and Reporting.

in response to Seth Martin:
Spoke with a sales rep.
They provide the link to the temp license key up to May 12th with which they said OpenFire Enterprise will be open source by.

I am unable to find any telephone number to contact with sales rep as I have some queries(technical+general) which I need to know before we opt for licensed version.
Thank
So how does this work, is there still a plugin or do we need to upgrade openfire to a new release to have all the enterprise features?
