Softlayer recently
concluded their Asia-pacific tour, and in case you missed it was every bit
worth it.
Softlayer just
finished its Asia Pacific leg of its workshop educating attendees about the
unique cloud solutions the company offers. Needless to say that the workshop
kind-off strengthened the already well-established fact that Cloud is the
future of all technology. But for startups this future is hard to come by as
adopting the cloud is no straightforward task. The basic intention behind the
Softlayer workshop was to acquaint startups to the cloud, and basically bring
them to a level of ease.
Here are the Five coolest
things you may have missed by not being at the workshops:
1. Bare Metal Servers
As snazzy as it
sounds, it actually is. Softlayer’s use of bare metal servers to run networks
that are not only faster, but require low levels of storage and maintenance as
compared to other physical servers. Attendees at the workshop were acquainted
with this new physical technology that helps Softlayer deliver better
performance and speed.
2. Access
Perhaps the most
engaging part of the workshop was where the attendees were taught how to make
their own cloud networks, work with APIs. This section was especially a big hit
with people attending the workshops.
3. Interaction
The interaction
section was organized to bring businesses closer to each other. To get
acquainted with what everyone else was doing, the problems they face and
measures that are employed to take care of these problems was one of the
highlights too.
4. History
Not everything was
about the future. Softlayer also laid emphasis on the history of Cloud and
helped attendees learn about the genesis of a global player that is now
everywhere.
5. It was Free
Yes, it was
absolutely free. All that knowledge, interaction and information - even the
snacks were free. One just couldn’t leave empty handed.
