Virtualization Africa: T minus 5 days


Where are we today?

  • Working on the Green Grid talk/presentation. Here's a look at what I am working on, not done yet but will be done tomorrow. It seemed like a neat template to me ;-)
  • Got my vaccinations.
  • Got some more advice from my friends on personal and professional matters.
I did have a long discussion with my wife on the usefulness (or uselessness) of talking about Green Grid, environmental responsibility and other stuff. I think people all over the world are just the same. They just happen to care about other things. I firmly believe that when it comes to saving our planet (I know, I should have said "Environment" , but then nobody would "care"), then it will be very hard to ignore.

Anyways we will continue with our struggle and somewhere along the road, I hope, we will look back and say: " I am glad we all did it together, we hosted our data center together, we shared our electricity bills and we came out winners together"

The Framingham, Mass., company offers consulting services for companies that use virtualization software to improve the performance of corporate servers and cut costs in their data centers. GlassHouse also provides Internet-based data storage. "Software-as-a-service," or SaaS, companies and vendors of virtualization products have proved popular among investors in recent years as corporate customers seek alternatives to conventional packaged software. GlassHouse, with roots in both sectors, will test the strength of that interest, said Peter Falvey, managing director with Boston investment bank Revolution Partners. "It will be a bit of a bell weather," he says. "It's not as though it's the 15th SaaS m...
