To combat the ever-growing trend to completely virtualized environments I want to show people how the "Cloud" looks like in the material plane and give you a glimpse on the metal that runs the 'webs ;)

I want to talk about strong and weak points of the vendors, how they fare in procurement and demonstrate how maintenance and HW upgrades look like. If there's interest I also want to discuss general aspects of modern hardware in regards to performance/speed, capacity planning and bottle necks, power consumption etc. If you've got questions and problem cases or just want to share your war stories, please come!

[1] The R200 is not really the flagship of Dell, if anybody got a spare R410/R510 which they can bring along or I can pick up somewhere before monday that'd be great to have a somewhat even comparison :) Only requirement is that it's bootable and we've got access to the iDRAC and the BIOS.

Hi,

Because of date conflicts (especially the Big Brother Awards gala on
next Tuesday), this month's meetup is on next Monday, 24.10, on 19:00.
Michael will tell (and show!) us how the real hardware looks like. I'm
just back from Devopsdays Europe in Göteborg and maybe will do a quick
relation. See you there!
