Last week I posted an article about the Convergent Technologies
Megaframe that our office has been using for a large
project. The article came across in a way that was not intended and
I wish to clarify what I wrote.
1. The opinions expressed in the article were my own
and not that of my employer or even of my
work group officially or unofficially.
2. The article came across as a flame in its language although
my purpose was not to be critical of any individuals nor
to anger my employer's business associates.
My purpose was to get in contact with other users of
the Convergent Tech. MegaFrame and see what their
experience has been in order to provide mutual benefit
in dealing with any difficulties with the product.
3. There are lots of positive things I have to say about
Convergent Technologies, their staff and their product.
Even though we have not purchased our MegaFrames directly
from Convergent Technologies (but rather through an OEM),
they have provided us with excellent support. We have
received from them special releases of the operating
system just to deal with certain problems only we
were experiencing due to the unusual configuration of
our system and the demands we were placing on it.
On several occasions senior engineers came on-site to
work with us to resolve some of the difficulties we
were experiencing, often for long hours on a weekend!!
Without exception, every engineer that I had opportunity
to work with was highly qualified and easy to work with.
4. My personal opinion is that the modularity and expandability
in the architecture of the MegaFrame along with the
support we have gotten from Convergent (and our OEM)
leads me to believe that we have made a good choice in
selecting the MegaFrame for our project.
