ScriptRock Inc, pioneers of configuration monitoring, announced today their $8.7M Series A round of funding.
August Capital led the round, which included previous investors Valar Ventures and Square Peg Capital.
Enterprise veteran Vivek Mehra of August Capital will be joining ScriptRock's board to guide them along the path traveled by Splunk, another early stage August investment now valued at $4.8B. Mehra is also known for his aggressive positioning of Cobalt Networks, which sold to Sun Microsystems for $2B following a successful IPO. Scott Petry, founder of Postini and Authentic8, is joining ScriptRock's board of directors, further bolstering ScriptRock's enterprise expertise. Square Peg Capital's investment was led by Paul Bassat, a fellow Australian and founder of Seek, the world's largest jobs site. Peter Thiel, the well known Facebook investor and cofounder of PayPal and Palantir, saw the promise of ScriptRock early on and has subsequently invested in all rounds.
With the addition of board members experienced in building world class enterprise service providers, ScriptRock is now positioned to lead the growth of operations as a service.
The company has come a long way -- in just a few years ScriptRock has moved from Australia to Mountain View, CA, and grown into a trusted provider of server management for enterprise level operations. Founders Alan Sharp-Paul and Mike Baukes, veterans of the financial technology industry who have referred to themselves as "corporate refugees," created GuardRail to address the problems they experienced firsthand working in enterprise IT.
"GuardRail solves a real problem," said Sharp-Paul. "Whenever we show people who develop or release software, they just get it. They know how costly it is to identify configuration problems, especially once they've already been deployed. This is their silver bullet." Added Baukes, "People will use GuardRail if they aren't stupid."
Their unique perspective on DevOps is based on an actual working relationship. Sharp-Paul and Baukes worked on opposite sides of the proverbial wall within corporate IT, Baukes as a sysadmin and Sharp-Paul as a developer. Their frustration with what they saw as a broken process drove the design of GuardRail, ScriptRock's configuration monitoring platform.
While other companies focus on automating server configuration, GuardRail addresses a more fundamental problem. Knowing the differences between hundreds or thousands of servers is a vital precursor to automation, and no existing software provides a sufficient solution. GuardRail is the missing link that gives developers and operations visibility into their systems' states.
"We've got a great team and we've worked hard to get to this important milestone," said Baukes. "I'm proud of the product we've built and excited that we're now able to bring it to an even larger audience."
About ScriptRock
ScriptRock is a pioneer in configuration monitoring and operations as a service. Their flagship product, GuardRail, enables anyone to discover their datacenter and accelerate their release cycles.

The security devil is always in the details of the attack: the ones you've endured, the ones you prepare yourself to fend off, and the ones that, you fear, will catch you completely unaware and defenseless. The Internet of Things (IoT) is nothing if not an endless proliferation of details. It's the vision of a world in which continuous Internet connectivity and addressability is embedded into a growing range of human artifacts, into the natural world, and even into our smartphones, appliances, and physical persons. In the IoT vision, every new "thing" - sensor, actuator, data source, data con...

The major cloud platforms defy a simple, side-by-side analysis. Each of the major IaaS public-cloud platforms offers their own unique strengths and functionality. Options for on-site private cloud are diverse as well, and must be designed and deployed while taking existing legacy architecture and infrastructure into account. Then the reality is that most enterprises are embarking on a hybrid cloud strategy and programs.

Gadi Vichman.
(photo credit:Courtesy)
The Beersheba District Court on Sunday sentenced 20-year-old Eden Ohayon to life in prison for stabbing a man to death, for asking him and his friends to stop making noise outside his apartment at night so his baby could fall asleep.The brutality of the May 2012 murder and the picture of Gadi Vichman's wife, Michal, seeing her husband stabbed to death by Ohayon while holding her crying baby shocked the nation at the time.The police also came under severe criticism at the time for failing to respond to calls for help from the Vichmans.Responding to the conviction, Michal Vichman expressed satisfaction that justice was being served to Ohayon, who had killed her husband in cold-blood. The prosecution also expressed satisfaction that there would be "no tolerance" for violent behavior by youths like Ohayon, particularly with what it called a disturbing trend of youth violence with knives.Security personnel were forced to physically restore order in the court and remove Ohayon's family after they burst out in anger and started cursing Michal following the reading of the sentence.Ohayon's legal team said it would appeal to the Supreme Court.Gadi Vichman, 36, went out to speak to a group of noisy youths two hours after his wife called police to the park near their home on that May night. When the municipal patrol car failed to materialize and the noise – which included shouting and bottles breaking – continued to keep their baby awake, Vichman went downstairs to speak to the youths and was stabbed to death by Ohayon.The court rejected the defendant's claims that the stabbing was merely a case of manslaughter and not willful murder, which occurred as self-defense during an argument during which Vichman allegedly provoked Ohayon.It ruled that it did not believe that Vichman had provoked Ohayon, but that even if he had, the provocation did not in any way justify Ohayon's attacking Vichman with a knife.The court also rejected Ohayon's claim that he could not be convicted of murder when he had stabbed Vichman only once.Ohayon was also ordered to pay the victim's family NIS 200,000 in restitution, despite a request by his lawyer to limit the sentence to the prison term.On the night of the stabbing, Ohayon and a group of his friends had gathered in a park close to Vichman's apartment. With Ohayon were his girlfriend – a minor identified only as M.H. – and Chen Harel, Lial Peretz, and Or Mesika. Ohayon carried a knife with him, the indictment said.According to the indictment, Ohayon and his friends made a great deal of noise that disturbed the neighbors, and caused Vichman's infant daughter to wake repeatedly.At one point, Michal Vichman went onto the family's balcony overlooking the park and shouted at Ohayon to keep the noise down – but when youths took no notice, the indictment said, Michal called the police.Later that night, Vichman went out onto his balcony and asked Ohayon and his friends to be quiet.According to the indictment, Vichman told the youths that while there was no problem with them being in the park, they should be quieter because there were people living nearby.However, the indictment said, Ohayon's response was to curse Vichman, calling him a "son of a whore."After that, Michal called the police again, who told her they had already sent a patrol car to the scene.Meanwhile, Ohayon and his friends continued to make a great amount of noise, and at one point Ohayon spoke loudly on his cellphone with someone, cursing that person and telling him to come meet him at the park.A short while later, Vichman went back onto the balcony and told Ohayon and his friends he was coming down. Michal told the youths that she had called the police, the indictment said. Ohayon sat on a park bench and cursed and shouted at Michal and Vichman."Let's see you come down here," Ohayon allegedly said, continuing to shout obscenities referring to Vichman's mother.At around 2:15 a.m., Vichman left his apartment, jumped over the fence separating his apartment block from the park and went over to Ohayon and his friends.Michal, fearing what would happen to her husband if he approached the youths, shouted from the balcony for him to come back to the apartment.At that point, Ohayon jumped up from the bench and began walking toward Vichman, the indictment said, while his girlfriend M.H. told him to "drop it" and leave.However, when Ohayon reached Vichman, Vichman head-butted him, hitting his lips, the indictment said.The blow pushed Ohayon back slightly, but the youth remained on his feet and moved toward Vichman, holding his knife. Ohayon plunged the knife deep into Vichman's chest, then made a cutting movement from left to right before pulling the knife out of Vichman's body.Vichman collapsed, blood pumping from his chest, as Michal watched from the balcony.She began screaming for help, but Ohayon and his friends fled the scene, leaving Vichman wounded on the ground. Paramedics tried to resuscitate Vichman, but he died at the scene.As he ran, Ohayon threw the knife into a garbage container, but it was later recovered.

Last summer I purchased a ticket on Tanzania's Coastal Air. After purchasing the ticket I noticed in the terms sent after buying the ticket that there was a 15 kg total baggage limit. This limitation was not, as far as I could tell, mentioned anywhere before the ticket was purchased. After weighing my bags I found that I was about two kg over the limit due to the camping gear that I was bringing along. I searched the travel forums to find whether Coastal strictly adhered to this limit and found that in some cases upset passengers were forced by Coastal to leave baggage behind.
I emailed Coast Air's helpdesk and asked them to cancel my reservation and refund my fare because I could not meet their baggage restriction. I was sent three separate emails confirming my cancellation with an official PDF of the confirmation of cancellation. The third email also indicated I would be issued a refund. I later discovered another odd email was sent from Coastal with the following message:
"Hi you can cancel and you'll get a full refund because the booking is for july,how many kilos do you have?
Because if the charge you if its znz I think its one or two dollars per extra kg"
This was in response to my original request for cancellation and was sent after the three emails which had already confirmed my cancellation.
It has been over a year now and Coastal Air has still not refunded the money I paid for the cancelled tickets. I have made repeated requests to their billing agent, 3GDirectpay. 3GDirectpay's initial responses led me to believe a refund would be forthcoming but my last several emails have gone unanswered. In frustration I recently sent both 3G and Coastal Air a message indicating I intended to publicize the situation to warn other travelers of their business practices.
I promptly received a message from a Niala at Coastal Air claiming that my original booking had been cancelled in error. The message contained a copy of an email that Niala claimed had been sent to my email address a year earlier granting me permission to exceed the 15 kg baggage limit with PDF's of the renewed reservation and boarding passes. Interestingly Niala even included the headers for this message with a date of two days after the cancellation emails and my correct email address. Of course I never received this message and never agreed to rebook the flight. I suggested to Niala that we contact my email provider to find if they have logs of the emails sent to my account at that time to determine whether that email had ever been sent to my account but she was unenthusiastic about the idea.
In the last message I received on the matter Niala told me she would discuss the matter with her manager and get back to me the following Monday. Needless to say Monday came and went and I have heard nothing from Niala or Coastal Air since. I did check the spam folder. Perhaps another phantom email was sent?
I have made four separate trips to Africa over the years visiting ten countries and have, with the exception of Coastal Air and 3Gdirectpay, been very happy with the service I have received from African companies. There are several reputable airlines in East Africa that offer flights on the routes flown by Coastal Air. Do you really want to risk your money with a company that conducts business in this manner?
Beware: Coastal Air

I always know, when I see the heading "Beware" that a wordy saga will follow relating a story that most often is as much the fault of the complainant as the entity complained about.
I've never seen an airline website that does not give their baggage allowance, sometimes a bit hard to find but always there somewhere, in my experience. That's the crux of this complaint is it not. Maybe this airline is the exception and doesn't give the information but in that case, given the OP had camping equipment, he might have investigated further.
Experienced travelers know there will almost always be glitches, especially when we travel off the beaten path, that will cost money we didn't anticipate. I'd just count it as one of those and forget about it. I for one, although unlikely to be flying on an African airline, will not remember this complaint when it comes to booking a flight. I'll investigate the safety record to see if I'll be likely to survive the flight and if so, will book.

So how much money do they owe back to you?

This BEWARE thread was also posted on Trip Advisor with interesting comments. But have to wonder as a regular African traveler, the OP wasn't already aware of weight limits on small planes and if not certain didn't inquire, before purchasing said ticket, here on Fodor's or TA about weight limits if not clearly stated on the Coastal site.

I'd still like to know if jm2000 is out $2, or $200, or $2,000? If they do not reply, I would not take them seriously.

I don't take them seriously already. These sorts of "warnings" are generally from those who don't want to blame the real culprits, themselves.

£28bn pension windfall to reduce deficit
Monday 19 March 2012
George Osborne will use a £28 billion windfall from the transfer to the state of Royal Mail pensions to reduce the deficit and not to pay for major projects, the Treasury said.
The cash bonanza is expected to become available within weeks - with officials confident the EU will approve the deal in time for the Chancellor to announce it in Wednesday's Budget.
Taking over the pension scheme - which has a near £10 billion deficit - is designed to make the organisation more attractive to investors as the Government seeks to privatise it.
Once completed, Mr Osborne will be able to sell off the billions of pounds worth of shares, bonds and properties that have been accumulated among the fund's assets.
Accounting rules mean however that the £37.5 billion liabilities will be absorbed into the rest of the state pension system and so won't immediately show on the Government books as debt.
The Chancellor was reported to be under pressure from Tory donors and backbenchers to splash the extra money on infrastructure projects such as roads, schools and power stations.
But the Treasury said it would go immediately to cut the UK's record deficit.
News that the transfer could happen within weeks was welcomed by the Communications Workers Union (CWU) which has campaigned for several years for the state to take over the pension.
A spokeswoman said: "This will protect the pensions of postal workers who have faithfully paid contributions for decades.
"We've consistently argued that the Government has a moral obligation to take on the pension deficit, partly as owner of the company and for allowing Royal Mail to take a 13-year contributions holiday.
"They laughed in our face when we suggested it so it's been a long journey getting here."
The union remains opposed however to the privatisation, which is not expected to happen this year.

"Sustainability of Traditional Language, Culture and Knowledge," emerges as the theme of the 16th Annual American Indian Studies Association's conference.

Native people face change and challenges at an amazing rate. What does sustainability mean within a world with rapid change?
This year's conference looks to explore and initiate discussions about the sustainability of traditional knowledge. This includes, however is not exclusive to: language, culture, art, history, environment, governance, health, storytelling, education and all other topics which would include sustainability of traditional knowledge.
The organizers of the AISA Conference welcome proposals for paper presentations, panel presentations, round table discussions, and workshops.
Consideration will be given to other topics that relate to American Indian issues.
Paper/Session/Panel Proposals:
· Please send paper and panel submissions in a digital format.

For over 13 years Native Nation Events has been producing cutting edge conferences in the Native American marketplace. With an incredible amount of input from tribal leaders over the years and a team of professionals in organizational development and leadership training, we created and held our annual National Native American Leader's Forum last year. After three very successful National training sessions, two in Hawaii and one in New Orleans, we were encouraged by many of the leaders in attendance to hold regional forums so more of their members to be able to participate.
We are very happy to announce that we will be holding three regional events starting this November throughout the United States. These regional forums will share the new annual curriculum developed for our July 2014 Hawaii National Forum. This means that if you were unable to come to the National conference, you are still able to benefit from the training that hundreds of your peers have already experienced. With the feedback of over 200 Tribal Leaders and attendees, we continue to hone and refine the leadership training based on the most current needs of Tribal Organizations.
With the intentions of creating a small, intimate environment, totally unique to Indian Country, this two day program is limited to the first 75 registered attendees. Through research, activities, content and assessments, you will learn to become a more efficient leader in both your professional and personal life. Engage with other Tribal Council members from around the country who have similar experiences, explore how to resolve interpersonal tribal conflict, influence others to get results and build long-term motivation and commitment to you and your tribe.

Heavy fighting rages in Sudan's Darfur region
KHARTOUM (Reuters) - Rebels have seized two towns in Darfur, international peacekeepers quoted a local leader as saying, as fighting raged in at least two parts of the troubled region of western Sudan.
Sudan's military denied the report, but the UNAMID peacekeeping force said Central Darfur's governor Youssef Tibin had told it armed groups had seized the towns of Golo and Rockero in the Jebel Marra area.
"He also stated that approximately 850 families had been displaced and fled to Nertiti village as a result of the fighting, while others are believed to be wandering in the mountains seeking safety," the U.N./African Union force said in a statement.
Tibin could not be reached for comment but Sudan's army denied the government had lost control of the area, the state-linked Sudanese Media Center (SMC) said on its website.
The army repulsed an attack in the same area by rebels of the Sudan Liberation Army (SLA) faction led by Abdel Wahed Mohamed el-Nur, killing more than 30 fighters, the Media Center quoted an army spokesman as saying.
Ibrahim el-Hillu, spokesman for the SLA faction, said however his forces were in complete control of the Golo area after repulsing an army attack.
"Many government soldiers were killed," he said.
In separate violence, fighting broke out between the Rizeigat and Bani Hussein tribes on Saturday over who should be allowed to use a gold mine near Kabkabiya in North Darfur.
"A row between some individuals has turned into battles ... Fighting is still ongoing," Omar Ali, a leader of the Bani Hussein tribe, told Reuters.
"It's a tragedy. I don't have numbers yet but I can say a large number of people have been killed and wounded so far."
Mohammed Aissa Aliu, a Rizeigat leader, said elders of his tribe were trying to stop the fighting. "We have sent a delegation to mediate," he said. "The situation is unacceptable."
Sudan's state radio said authorities closed the mine on Wednesday.
The deployment of the world's largest peacekeeping force, UNAMID, has failed to stop violence in Darfur where mostly non-Arab insurgents took up arms in 2003 to fight against what they call the neglect of the region by the Arab-dominated government.
Fighting between rebels and government forces has recently picked up and banditry has also spread.
The three main rebel groups have formed an alliance with insurgents in two states bordering the newly-seceded country of South Sudan, forcing Sudan's army to fight in three places at once.
Sudan is also struggling with a budget crisis due to the loss of most oil production with the southern secession of 2011.
Human rights groups have accused Sudan's government of arming Arab tribes like the Rizeigat when it moved to quell the Darfur rebellion in 2003.
Diplomats say Sudan failed to disarm allied tribes as required under an agreement between Sudan and small rebel groups in 2011. Larger rebel groups have refused to join the deal.
The International Criminal Court has issued arrest warrants for President Omar Hassan al-Bashir and other Sudanese officials for masterminding war crimes in Darfur. They deny the charges and refuse to recognise the court.
Human rights groups and the United Nations estimate that hundreds of thousands of people have died in Darfur's conflict, although exact tolls are controversial. The government says around 10,000 people have died. (Writing by Ulf Laessing; editing by Andrew Roche)
