NT is what killed it.
Yeah, Netware on DR-DOS was very.... aged by that point.

Why DRDOS? NWDOS-7 was great, it could even do multithreading and networking

NWDos was just a rebranding. Still DR-DOS.

oh I know, but Novell added the networking stack in there, and iirc the multitasking was also developed in cooperation with Novell

Well, no one else was going to invest in DR-DOS. Jajaja

RHV-H/RHV-M are the downstream.

Of oVirt? Yeah, I think we get the features in oVirt first. So anyone on oVirt likely had that stuff already.

@scottalanmiller What's the backend storage on your oVirt install, NFS, Gluster, iSCSI?

@scottalanmiller What's the backend storage on your oVirt install, NFS, Gluster, iSCSI?
We decided not to use oVirt. But if we were, none of those would make sense. We are using virt-manager and local storage basically everywhere.

Can you say why you decided not to use?

Yeah, way too much overhead and complexity. It make simple tasks hard and it is totally focused on clustering which rarely has any place in the SMB. Deploying it was a huge headache. Had some neat features, but none that we cared about. We ran into some issues with it that were enough that we questioned the logic of trying to use it.
Tested virt-manager instead and it was flexible, simple, and worked perfectly, instantly. The real thing was that in the end oVirt just offered nothing of particular value, but had a lot of negatives.

What was the purpose of looking into it in the first place? What were the goals? What was the problem you were trying to solve?
