Do mind elaborating?
In fact, Opsware created products that (still) play an important role in large, private, datacenters. Hell, for what it's worth, their 3 main products were actually created to manage their own infrastructure. Which part of that is the joke?
The deployment attempts I've seen have been spectacular failures. This goes back a few years (~2008), some things may have changed.
Lack of a CLI accessible on managed nodes being a huge issue for datacenter work.
Staggeringly deficient database performance.
My recent experience has been with Puppet/Chef. They're still crufty in their own ways, but far more appropriate than Oopsware.
