This is the third MeltDown scheduled to re-occur every 6 to 8 weeks. We avoided a March meet-up because of "March Madness" and gave our busy tech community some time to recover from the end of the Government's fiscal year.
The last event was awesome!! Thanks to all that attended and Outside the Cube for hosting.
MeltDown 3 will be graciously hosted at Outcrop Yukon's offices, details below, where there will be some nibbles and drinks and space to chat in. There is not a lot of power available so bring fully charged devices if you are planning on bringing them.
This time we are going to have an Q&A evening with Richard Whittaker, a Configuration Manager at Northwestel, on a current buzz technology topic: Virtualization.
Richard was a significant player in the very successful migration of Northwestel's significant server infrastructure to VMWare's ESX platform. Their migration reduced power consumption, heat production and physical server counts.
Richard will be available to talk about software concerns, hardware concerns, and any of your other tricky virtual questions. He will also be available after the Q&A session to chat about specific solutions for your business.
The Q&A session will start after 5:15p.
