Highs and Lows

Posted on

The last couple of weeks have certainly been a bit of a rollercoaster ride here, although it’s finally ending on a very positive note. For several weeks now we’ve had a significant problem when we were restarting physical servers, in terms of how long it was taking them to come back online, due to the   …Continue Reading

Cheddarvision puts FlexiScale to the test

Posted on

On 17 September 2007 we got a panic call from the owners of Cheddarvision, a favourite on Myspace and YouTube. This web site is normally fairly quiet – after all, watching cheese mature isn’t exactly exciting, as nothing happens for months at a time.
