The long period without updates on the english part of our site might suggest that we are only focused on our Flemisch activities. Nothing could be further from the truth! At the end of last month we have given a seminar on "hybrid clouds and advanced virtualization" in Karlstad. This event was organised by our Swedish partner Compare, a joint organization of the ICT industry in Sweden. Compare is supported and supports about 100 companies in Sweden and has lot of datacenter expertise.

If you like to see the presentations we have given, you can find them here. The content was mostly an updated version of what we presented on our last themeday.  We are currently looking into a collaboration around "green servers" or how you can improve the power management of what sits insides your rack. Traditionally, datacenters have focused on everything around the rack: UPS, power conversion, Cooling efficiëncy and so on. We are actually looking on how you can save energy without lowering the performance of your servers. To be continued.

Below you see us visiting Compare's ultra modern experimental datacenter where the newest cooling and UPS technologies are tried out long before they go into production.

Our team was also present at the Devopsdays in Hamburg, Liz went to the Intel Innovation Conference in Dublin and last but not least we exchanged ideas at VMworld Europe (Copenhagen, Danmark). You can find our thoughts and impressions about hybrid clouds here.
