Imagine you own a car that has no instrumentation. No speedometer, no gauges for fuel, oil temperature, and not even an odometer.  What about the warning lights that flash on momentarily when you start the engine?  Imagine if you didn’t have those dash lights for brake or engine warning or faulty airbag or coolant warning.  What about those indicators that assist maintenance including oil, coolant, tire pressure, even battery charge?

Another 7x24 Exchange - Great People and Content

Green (Low Carbon) Data Center Blog

Author: Dave Ohara

I am back at 7x24 Exchange and trying out a switch to iOS only devices. I am using iPad Pro with a Logitech Create keyboard. The conference has just started officially.

Well for me it started at 4 pm when I walked in the lobby and started with people. Great people. Many were presenting and reminded me of the ideas they are discussing. Attendance is over 700 and the conference carries on in its relevance in the industry.
