Is DSS v7 still being developed?

[tman]

I'd be interested to know from Open-E themselves if DSS v7 is still being developed. We have invested extensively in this version, and are still deploying instances. As licenses are still available, and it's still supported, I'd like to think it's still being developed, but the last update was June 2019. If Jovian is taking over, it's only fair to let customers know whether DSSv7 is still a thing!

It is true that over 90% of our sales is related to the JovianDSS product. We will still be making one more release for DSS V7 for updates and drivers but for new features and development this will not happen as this product is very old on the market as you know and to continue with development time on a product that delivers very low revenue would not be a good idea. Also continued customer support renewals for DSS V7 are also low due to many migrating to the JovianDSS there is very little revenue on the Support side as well on DSS V7. We will be looking at dates to announce the EOL of the DSS V7 but will continue to allow support for this product. We do not have an exact ETA on this announcement so please be patient.

Thanks for the update. Looks like DSS v7 is heading towards end-of-life then, but hopefully not end of support for a while yet!
