We had six show up for last night’s meeting (6/10/09) at Granite City in Clive, IA. It was mostly a social occasion, so there wasn’t a lot of Virtualization content to record. Here are a few points which stood out in my mind:
- SuperMicro now offers blade servers which integrate a miniature SAS SAN on the back plane. Sounded pretty cool.
- Josh More discussed some basic security concepts around Internet-accessible servers — Virtual or otherwise.
- Had an impromptu “Name That Tune” competition between an iPhone and a G1. The iPhone won. This time. . .
- Laserdisc video is analog, as I pointed out to some peoples’ dismay.
The conversation was, as usual, quite random so there were many, many more topics discussed than I’ve presented here. I guess you’ll just have to attend the next meeting so you don’t miss out!
