New job, dead lab and a temporary solution. ;)

Hi !

Let’s start blogging again. 🙂 A lots of time passed since I blogged interesting things. The main reason was, I decided to change my employer. The last weeks we moved our home, too. Now my little family is living in a suite little house, with a big garden, a big garage but no more big cellar. 😉 But I will talk about this circumstance some lines later.

Today I had my first day at qSkills. This is my new employer. 🙂 I’m working as an IT Architect and Software-Engineer. My first job is to design and implement an entire new network because the current network is very outdated. Maybe the new network is based on Cisco Nexus. 😉 It’s hot stuff and my new boss loves nice and cool toys. Me too! 😉 BTW. the company earns his money with professionel trainings and they have a strong relationship with Fujitsu and NetApp. In the dedicated training datacenter (nine 47U racks!) are lot’s of nice toys installed, predominantly Fujitsu servers and many NetApps storage systems of course. A very nice playground for lot’s of tests in addition to my private lab. 🙂 A good point to talk about my home lab.

My well known home data center is DEAD ! I moved everyting into the new garage, until I can start my new home lab idea. 😉 I’m not sure if I can pay the new idea this year, because the move to the new home was very expensive and I have a wife and little daughter who needs money too. But I can wait until next year. Meanwhile I’m running a tempory solution in the new cellar which is not big enough for a 2m tall rack. But it’s enough for playing and blogging about my experience, as you can see on the last picture. 😉 That’s why I hope you visit my blog, again…. 😀
