London so far and the technical questions begin


Tags :


The first day was spent listening to some of the presentations from the seminar and jotting down some questions.  Dinner was at Pepper Thai in the Swiss Cottage area.  Dinner was good.  we almost skipped dessert until the next able received theirs, that left everyone stuffed from fruit fritters and vanilla ice cream with honey.

All day today was pent with a customer in talks about Domino, the pending beating from a business review group about Exchange coming in and ways to scale the infrastructure while reducing costs.  We came up with some ingenious ideas after sitting down, drawing out ideas and then looking at the actual network.  Final result?  Removing about 7 servers, beefing up one, generating two more clusters from active servers to provide more scaling and load balancing and rearchitecting the replication topology.  All this while considering some DAMO installations and a definite upgrade to Domino 7 in the coming weeks.

Dinner was down in Covent Garden at Fuel Bar.  It was quite good sitting outside on one of the warmest nights they have had this year.  The whole area was packed.  That was a restaurant I would visit again.  Then a quick trip to Picadilly Circus to take in the sights.

Pics are uploading and tomorrow is all presentations, so I expect plenty of questions to share.
