What are most interesting new features for current users of DSS v6?

Biggest difference is Active / Active failover :

Did you guys fix it to where on a Hyper-v failover box if you fail over to the other node you don't lose connectivity?

+1

I'm anxious to get moving on a Hyper-V failover setup.

I think you will also find that Windows Server 2012 has had improvements in failover tolerance.

Indeed. From what I can tell the problem is around the persistent connections, with some of the connection information stored in RAM.
We will have this worked out in next major release of DSS V7. Expect around second half of August.

So does this mean all work on DSS 6 comes to a halt?

Not all Andy.
We will continue to update V6 for a short time. But as always, things move forward. Think DSS V5-->DSS V6.

That is good information. I will hold off until the next release and plan on upgrading to Server 2012 when it is released.

I have an active basic support subscription which entitles me to a free upgrade from DSS V6 to DSS V7.
How do I get the new license key?
