But what will become of the Nabaztag?

But what will become of the Nabaztag? Bunnies Wi-Fi, French product launched in mid 2000, yet many problems. The company Violet, the basis for electronic leporidae, was acquired by Mindscape in 2009, which decided to produce a third version of the Nabaztag, as the Karotz. If Karotz - despite some delays - is expected to arrive late in the stalls, the Nabaztag and Nabaztag / tag them, no longer work.

Indeed, rabbits are highly dependent on servers and - unfortunately - Mindscape seems to be very difficult to manage them. Since the takeover situation was erratic, with services that were not working and connection problems, but a few days ago, Mindscape has had to move servers. Indeed, the host of the infrastructure inherited from Violet moved servers and also in the process.

And since then nothing works. Migration should be done in one day, there are almost 10 days, and nothing works. Obviously, Mindscape's hard to manage servers from Violet. The explanations available on the blog rabbit Karotz indicate that front-end servers - which manages the site of Violet - has not restarted and that all hard drives in RAID 1 does not do its job.

The company is trying to clean the hard drives - saturated logs - and trying to replace a functional infrastructure. Currently, only the Nabaztag rabbit (first generation) running, the XMPP server needed to rabbit second-generation (Nabaztag / tag) are still stranded. In fact, the Nabaztag bunnies do not perform and yet still sells Mindscape rabbits - he is out on its website but available in store-, rabbit can not start.

According to the company, the Nabaztag and Nabaztag / tag (which are about 150 000 worldwide) should spend on infrastructure Karotz, more advanced, but when you see the society's efforts to replace the current servers are may suspect that this change is not for now. Hope that the concerns are resolved quickly, both for Mindscape - who is currently dent his image - and the community, which seems quite upset not being able to use its Wi-Fi rabbit paid dearly.
