Curmudgeon's Corner
cur-mud-geon: anyone who hates hypocrisy and pretense and has the temerity to say so; anyone with the habit of pointing out unpleasant facts in an engaging and humorous manner
Pieces Of Paper Aren't Defense Instruments...
Pieces of paper do not work well to defend a person from another or several others. Even with the power of the courts behind the piece of paper, the holder is forced to rely upon the good or less-than-good intentions of the restrainee.
Restraining orders are typically employed in situations that stem from an intense emotional base; divorces, perceived wrongs, and so on. Restraining orders threaten some kind of judicial action in the event that the restrainee fails to observe the order. They often will specify a certain minimum distance of physical separation, be that 1,000 feet or one mile or an entire community.
1/10th Of 1% Doesn't Sound Like Much...
A brief article appeared in the Journal Sentinel this morning discussing the money received by the Miller Park stadium district from its share of the five-county sales tax collections. We've always heard about that expressed as 1/10th of 1%, and that makes the tax seem smaller, at least to me as I briefly process the sentence that I read.
After all, that is only a penny for every $10 spent in the five county area set aside to pay for Miller Park. I was, by the way, not opposed to that cost sharing just to set the record straight.
Communities Are Fragile...
Communities are fragile. They are interdependent on so many disparate pieces as to be capable of being degraded quickly. Maybe we can learn something from this morning's General Motors announcement concerning Janesville.
General Motors is closing the Janesville GM plant and that will put something in the range of 2,600 to 2,800 employees out of work. This could happen as late as 2010 or as soon as next week, dependent only upon the marketplace. There have already been over 2,000 jobs lost simply as the result of GM's slowdown in production. This announcement will, unfortunately, cause many, many more announcements over the next months.
UW Tuition To Rise By 5.5%...
The UW Board of Regents decided that tuition had to go up 5.5% for students at the four-year universities. They laid the blame in large part (3% of the 5.5%) at the feet of the legislature that mandated free tuition for veterans. There are some 3,200 veterans now registered as students under this program; the program was originally intended to pay 50% of the tuition and that was raised to 100% last fall.
The UW and the legislature have been at odds for a long time. This is likely just the next salvo to be fired in this long battle.
Loans Cut For MATC Students...
MATC students along with all technical college and two-year college students in Wisconsin have a more difficult time gaining their education as the result of lenders leaving this marketplace.
MATC has nearly 5,300 students now at risk due to the fact that several lenders have decided to pull out of this market stating that it is unprofitable. That supposedly is caused by too little money being borrowed for too short a time.
Wisconsin's Biggest Growth Segment?
Wisconsin's gross domestic product (GDP) increased by about 1% in 2007, half the rate of growth of the nation as a whole. But one sector continues its dominant position as the leading growth segment in our state: government seems to be our biggest growth segment.
State government and related institutions continue to grow at significantly greater rates than the GDP. Might our GDP have risen more than 1% if the state's business climate were better than it is? I believe the answer to that rhetorical question is a resounding YES!
Last Two Standing...
We have, it appears, survived the presidential primary campaign season.
During this season just passed, we witnessed the significant defeat of the Clintons. Yes, of both Clintons, not just Hillary. There is no 'just Hillary'. With her comes the other, Bill. With her comes the remembrances of all that was the Clintonian presidency; the innuendo, the smears, the lost billing records, the huge trading gains, the eleventh-hour pardons and on and on and on. It wasn't a significant defeat in terms of numbers of votes, but it was significant in terms of the name and the legacy.
MATC Secession Discussion...
The move toward filing the documents necessary to seek secession from the Milwaukee Area Technical College tax district has begun to draw some debate amongst the politicos in Germantown.
Village President Kempinski has been quoted as being concerned with the seemingly slow movement in this process, and School Board President Erdmann says that we shouldn't worry because it is being taken up in July for ultimate filing in August.
Assembly 'Debate'...Chapter One
Two candidates have declared, so far, for the Assembly 24th district seat being vacated by Sue Jeskewitz. They are Republicans Randy Melchert and Jason LaSage. I continue to hear that there will be other candidates declaring between now and the deadline on July 8th, however we want to begin the Assembly 'Debate' so as to help voters learn as much as possible about the candidates. I have posed much the same questions to both candidates as were discussed in the Senate "Debate' series.
The initial question was this: If you were to introduce yourself to a roomful of voters, what would you tell them of yourself?
State Global Warming Task Force?
Are we being a bit presumptuous by having a Wisconsin global warming task force? There is no solid scientific evidence of anything other than what our earth has always gone through. Our emotions are being played "like a fiddle" with pictures of polar bears drowning when, in fact, the pictures were of nothing of the sort, and the fact that there are twice the number of polar bears today as were on this earth 40 years ago. The Great Lakes were drying up at an alarming rate and today we don't know what to do with all the water that fell on us.
We are reduced to blaming both hot weather and cold weather on global warming. We are reduced to blaming both drought and flooding on global warming. We either have more hurricanes or fewer hurricanes, but both those phenomenons are caused by global warming. We just had one of the greatest snow falls in any winter on record, but it is caused by global warming.
Judge The Judge?
We are all too aware of the 'fabled' 9th U.S. Court of Appeals found in San Francisco. This is the single most liberal-leaning court in the federal system and can be counted on for ground-breaking decisions that often run counter to the mainstream.
Now, we're being given the opportunity to make our own judgments about the chief judge of that court, a gentleman by the name of Alex Kozinski. By all accounts, the judge has had a storied career. He was appointed to the 9th Circuit by President Ronald Reagan and was considered as a possible Supreme Court nominee by then President George H.W. Bush in 1990 and 1991 according to an Associated Press story that ran in the morning Journal Sentinel.
Three Equal Branches Of Government...
Our country was founded with three equal branches of government: the judicial branch, the legislative branch and the executive branch. The Constitution granted certain privileges to each branch and was careful to separate those duties as the country's founders saw fit.
That effort by our country's founders was overthrown yesterday when the Supreme Court usurped the powers of both the legislative and the executive branches. The swing vote, as has become the norm in this court's decisions, was Justice Anthony Kennedy.
Fathers Day 2008...
When I grew up almost everyone had a father living at home. There were a few who had lost a father to illness or war or, sometimes, divorce. But most everybody had a dad. Our dads came in a variety of styles and flavors; some were very involved in the lives of their children; some were working two jobs to make ends meet and were not always home as the result. But, most everybody had a dad. We'd complain about our dads making us do this or that, but we had a dad. I worked on paper routes when I was old enough to become a 'carrier'. I peddled my bike all over Viroqua, WI delivering papers and collecting the weekly 35 cents that the paper cost in those days. On the rare occasion when Dad thought the weather too tough, he'd get the car and drive me on my route. That happened very seldom, but I still remember those times.
I learned a lot from my Dad. The thing that surprises me the most is that I learned a lot that I didn't know I was learning. He taught me that you always did what you said you would do. He taught me that things weren't always going to be easy, but that we had to persevere in spite of the obstacles we encountered. He wasn't perfect; none of us dads are. But he taught me much even through my observations of his imperfections.
Obama The Inevitable?
The mainstream media has taken up the fight now that Hillary and Barack have gotten their 'thing' settled; at least until the gathering in Denver.
The learned political scientists on our college campuses have nearly unanimously opined that Obama is incapable of being defeated. They have preordained that this election will be among the most lopsided victories for the left that we have witnessed in the entire history of our country. Polls show Obama up by double digits over McCain. It is all over but for the voting.
Assembly 'Debate'...Chapter Two
The question for today in our 'debate' between candidates LaSage and Melchert is this:
What specific existing state programs can be cut to stop the ongoing issues of budget shortfalls?
Say It Ain't So...Updated Edition
Barley Pop Pub closing? Say it ain't so!
I had the opportunity to get clarification on the story below from the Village Clerk several hours after posting the blog below. She advised that the license for the Barley Pop Pub had been renewed earlier this month along with all the other establishments' licenses. The issue concerning taxes owed must be resolved by the owners not later than June 30th according to Village Ordinance to prevent the loss of the current license. Any establishment that has a liquor license must remain in good standing so far as building codes, taxes and fees and so on in order to avoid the suspension or loss of the license. Village officials are powerless to make any concessions since the ordinance governs the situation. Discussion did occur on the subject of amending the ordinance, however that did not result in any action being taken.
Generic 'Mission Statement'...
I have seen this 'mission statement' advertised in the form of a plaque for a long time. I always seem to get a laugh from it, and thought it only right that I share this with you.
Please feel free to provide your recommendations as to what organization might be able to adopt this generic version:
State Senate 'Debate'...Chapter Four
In keeping with the protocol we have established, we'll lead with the response of Senator Darling to each question in this chapter.
* * * * * * * * * *
Normal, Fair & Well-Prepared...
Unless you've been on a deserted island, I imagine you know that Tim Russert died a few days ago.
I didn't watch his 'Meet The Press' show often, but when I did I was always impressed with how well he did interviewing a wide mix of guests. The discussions about him, following the news that he had died, seemed to center on the words in the lead-in to this Blog.
Direct Legislation?
The morning Journal Sentinel talks about a petition being presented to the Milwaukee Common Council today that would require all Milwaukee private employers to provide paid sick days. Employers with ten or fewer employees would be required to provide 1 hour for every 30 hours worked to a maximum of 40 hours of paid sick time per year. Employers with more than ten employees would be required to provide 1 hour for every 30 hours worked up to a maximum of 72 hours per year. Unused sick days would roll over from year to year.
This petition has been pushed by "labor, educational and community organizations" according to the article with the lead organization being 9 to 5, the National Association of Working Women. It uses a state statute that provides for what is known as 'direct legislation', and requires the petitioner to present petitions signed by 15% of the total residents of the city or village involved that voted for governor in the most recent election.
Germantown Exit Interviews...
There are apparently some rules regarding the conduct of exit interviews when an employee (or volunteer in the case of firefighters/EMTs) leaves the position. Those don't always occur and, in some cases, could become an adversarial encounter depending upon circumstances involved.
Trustee Jim Langer has, I think, an excellent idea and that is requiring exit interviews and requiring that those be done by the human resource director.
Changing Health Care Scene...
I've written about the consolidation of local health care organizations over the past months. In preparing for a talk I delivered to an insurance agent's organization last month, I dug a little deeper to see what the trends seemed to be for the future.
There are some very interesting things happening to and with health care delivery and these things are, in part, already on or affecting the local scene.
MATC...Iceberg In Search Of A Ship
MATC has now ended the suspense. Whew! It has officially increased its tax take by the 4.9% that it miraculously managed to get down to from the original 'straw man' of 6.4%. This codifies the fact that MATC's appetite for tax dollars has risen by some 30% over the past five years. MATC's leadership, if it can be called that without demeaning the word, just can't seem to understand that, while it is impervious to the wants and needs of the citizenry it serves, it really has permitted its reach to exceed our grasp.
MATC strikes me as an iceberg looking for a ship to sink. It is floating along with the tip showing while the bulk of the 'bloat' lies just under the waterline, out of sight and, too often, out of mind. Until it hits the ship of taxpayers yet again. The taxpayers on this 'ship of fools' have finally come to understand, at least in Germantown, that they would be better-served if they were permitted to disembark from the current ship that continues to be victimized by the MATC iceberg...year after year after year after year!
Village Buzz - June 27th
This marks the first of a new class of Blogs that will be labeled 'Village Buzz'. We'll discuss things that are gathered from what I consider to be reliable sources. I'll sometimes share the source' names and other times will avoid doing so for obvious reasons.
Barley Pop Update...
Village Buzz - June 29th
Former Village President, Charlie Hargan, responded in a comment to the Village Buzz published on Friday with this:
"The trees on Mequon Road in front of Pick 'n Save were diseased and will be replaced in the same locations. The trees in front of Sendik's were healthy ash trees that, as you indicated, had the misfortune to be in front of Sendik's over-sized sign. Sendik's asked Pres. Kempinski to have them removed, who told Adm. Schornack to have them removed, who told the Village Parks & Grounds Sup. to remove them. These were planted in accordance with the Village Street Tree Program, part of the reason we were voted as a Tree City USA community, and the only authorization for this had to come from the Village Board, after a recommendation from the Public Works Committee. It was never brought in front of either of them. They should be replaced in the same location. I think Sendik's will be a great asset to the Village but the trees were also and they were "grandfathered in" (here first)."
The More, The Merrier...
The latest count on the race to replace Sue Jeskewitz is now standing at five. Randy Melchert (R) and Jason LaSage (R) have been involved in our Assembly "Debate" series as you know.
The additional filed candidates are:

Snapper, Yellowtail – US
Yellowtail Snapper are found in the Atlantic from New England to southeastern Brazil, although they are most common in tropical regions like the Bahamas, Florida and the Caribbean. They are a fast growing species that reaches sexual maturity at a young age and can produce many eggs.
The abundance of Yellowtail Snapper in the Caribbean is unknown, but it is considered healthy in the US South Atlantic. Yellowtail Snappers support commercial fisheries off the southeastern United States, Cuba and the Caribbean.
The primary gear Used to catch Yellowtail Snapper is hook-and-line gear, which has a very low impact on the seafloor and catches moderate levels of bycatch.
This fish may have moderately high levels of mercury that could pose a health risk to adults and children. More info here about mercury in snapper. Check out our mercury in seafood section.

A herniated disc is one of the most common back ailments facing Americans today. A herniated disc occurs when a discís annulus (exterior layer of fibrous tissue) is weakened or torn. When this happens, the gel-like interior of the disc may leak out and put pressure on surrounding areas of the spine. Most annular ruptures are on the back side of the disc, which can cause pressure on the spinal cord and nerve roots. This causes pain, weakness, or numbness in the area of the body to which the nerve supplies sensation.
People with herniated discs may find relief with products that improve alignment. By aligning the spine correctly, pressure is placed more evently on all the discs, relieving pressure on the herniated disc. Be cautious in using massage products because you may be very sensitive in the area of the herniated disc and strong massage may be uncomfortable.

And sorry for what you went through. Who's with me and wants to start a perspective movement? C'mon, let's make it the cool-kids thing to do.
It should be the cool-kids thing to do, after months spent hanging on Foster's commitment switches, address changes, weekend locale changes, televised commitment and tattoos, then ridiculing him for assumed attention hawking.
I'll raise my hand and take my grief. On the Sunday before National Signing Day, a day after he cut short his official visit to Auburn and wound up in Tuscaloosa, I wrote the following about Foster's "switcheroo melodramas."
"Oh, the questions likely to follow his announcement tonight," I wrote. "Is it really over Reuben? Are you sure the school you just announced will be the school to receive your letter-of-intent Wednesday? Any new tattoos?"
Then, just two days after he wore the Nick Saban practice uniform and signed with Alabama, the school with which he originally committed, we learned the r-r-rest of the story. He took a bullet as a baby, after it was fired by his father and passed through his mother.
We learned that because his father, Danny Foster, reportedly was arrested in Miami last week after 16 years on the lam.
Attention hawking?
If such motivation played any small role in Reuben Foster's recruiting soap opera, then hey, break out the tissue and thunder a dramatic organ key. Here's hoping Reuben enjoyed the ride.
Really. God bless him for it, and God bless all who learned a lesson about hanging on the whims of 17- and-18-year-old football players. They're not just 17- and-18-year-old football players. Some have lived documentary-worthy young lives.
If they want to have a little fun in recruiting, get a tattoo to illustrate their momentary school choice, or even toy with one fan base's favorite school, then it's no conspiracy. He's not a thug, or whatever dog-whistle word that passes through our lips these days.
More likely than not, he's a kid torn by a wrenching decision between high-profile colleges. He's trying not to displease glad-handing fans, fellow recruits and coaches, all of whom might stoop to begging him for his signature on a National Letter of Intent.
Maybe he's shaken by volatility in the coaching profession, like Reuben Foster was when Auburn fired former head coach Gene Chizik and staff, including key recruiter Trooper Taylor. Reuben Foster had built a relationship with Taylor.
As the coaching carousel turns, a young recruit is hearing his cellphone message chimes and vibration buzzes in his sleep.
He's trying to keep pace with social-media messages.
He's constantly smiling and answering sports media holding cellphone cameras set for video — recruiting's version of paparazzi.
Chances are, he's finding the attention overwhelming, and he might just regain some measure of control by having fun with it.
Or maybe he just doesn't want to tell people things they don't want to hear.
Or, depending on his life, he might also find escape in it, so don't hate him if he rides the wave. Don't assume stereotype and motive.
As thorough and constant as recruiting media must be to satisfy their base, they just might miss the story of a young man's life in the lead-up to signing day. Reuben Foster's story came to light in a weekly paper, just down the road a piece.
Not sure if the Randolph Leader has as many online subscribers as one's favorite Rivals, Scout or 247sports site, but the same paper had the sad duty of covering hometown legend Ladarious Phillips' senseless murder last June.
The Leader also brought us the sad tale of an infant Reuben Foster. How young is too young to learn that even the security of his mother's arms is no match for a gun?
Perhaps by the grace of God, all three people hit by that bullet in Roanoke in November of 1995 survived, but not because Danny Foster didn't try. The Leader reported that he sawed through a bar, escaped from the Randolph County Jail and came back, looking for Reuben Foster's mother.
Correction, that's "five-star linebacker" Reuben Foster's mother to us.
Well, here's hoping that "five-star linebacker Reuben Foster" had some five-star fun through all the stress of recruiting. Here's hoping that his final answer winds up being the right one for him, and his dad has lots of time to ponder a life that could have been with such a talented son.
Here's also hoping that the latest and most-gut-punching twist in Reuben Foster's story finally ups the ante enough to start a perspective movement about recruiting. We can dream, can't we?
He's young, might be overwhelmed and just might have been through a lot in his life. Let's give the obsession a rest and the kids a break.

Flash storage: A vendor-neutral way to analyze performance
Jun 11 2014
6:00 pm
45 mins
Peter Murray, Senior Product Specialist, Load DynamiX
Flash is the hottest technology in the storage industry today. But with all its touted advantages, there are some challenges – including how to effectively measure the performance benefits for your own environment.
Although flash can be expensive, most of the flash-based storage arrays implement sophisticated compression, deduplication and pattern reduction processing to minimize the amount of data written to flash memory in order to lower the cost per GB and extend the life of flash memory.
Effectively measuring the performance of flash arrays requires more than the basic freeware benchmarking tools and following the steps documented by the SNIA SSSI specification. It requires the need for specifying complex data patterns in these data reduction technologies. Measuring performance without taking these features into account could falsely overstate the performance of a flash array by a factor of 2 or more.
Attend this presentation to learn how to best validate the performance of your potential flash storage arrays in order to optimize costs and mitigate risk.
Service Chaining and SDN: Delivering Secure and Accelerated Infrastructure
May 15 2014
3:00 pm
45 mins
Harshal Pimpalkhute, Senior Product Marketing Manager, A10 Networks
Legacy data center network architectures are typically static, inflexible and manually provisioned, making them unsuitable for the scale and agility required of a cloud business model. Emerging cloud delivery models incorporate automated service provisioning in a virtualized, multi-tenant environment to achieve scale and agility. Dynamic service chaining is a critical component in building an on-demand model for consumption of L4-L7 application network services. In this session we will cover how dynamic service chaining is integrated into the SDN and cloud orchestration platforms to deliver a highly available, secure and accelerated infrastructure.
Data Center Cooling: How to Measure & Improve Utilization
May 14 2014
8:00 pm
45 mins
Lars Strong, P.E., Senior Engineer, Upsite Technologies
Study of data centers reveals the average computer room has cooling capacity that is nearly four times the IT heat load. When running cooling capacity is excessively over-implemented, then potentially large operating cost reductions are possible by turning off cooling units and/or reducing fan speeds for units with variable frequency drives (VFD). Using data from 45 sites reviewed by Upsite Technologies, this presentation will show how you can calculate, benchmark, interpret, and benefit from a simple and practical metric called the Cooling Capacity Factor (CCF). Calculating the CCF is the quickest and easiest way to determine cooling infrastructure utilization and potential gains to be realized by AFM improvements.
The Rise of The ServerSAN: Will converged storage kill off the disk array?
May 14 2014
6:00 pm
45 mins
Howard Marks, Chief Scientist, DeepStorage, LLC.
A new class of software defined storage ServerSAN solutions promise to bring to the staid world of storage the disruption, and efficiencies, that virtualization has brought to computing. ServerSANs, typified by VMware's VSAN and hyperconvirged solutions from Simplivity and Nutanix use software, running under a hypervisor, to take SSDs and spinning disks into a common, high performance storage pool.
Can ServerSANs replace the physical SANs and disk arrays the way virtual servers have replaced their physical counterparts or are ServerSANs a niche solution for remote offices and SMBs? Either way it's clear this new technology should be in your storage solution bag of tricks.
In this presentation we'll explore the common elements ServerSAN solutions have and compare some of the leading solutions and their unique solutions to common problems like fault tolerance and data protection.

Considerations for Ramping to a Big Data Network Monitoring Architecture, Part 2
May 7 2014
5:00 pm
60 mins
Gordon Beith, Director of Product Management
This is a continuation of our 2-part series on Big Data Visibility with Network Packet Brokers (NPBs).
Big data techniques and technologies can be powerful tools for scaling network monitoring and forensics. They can also facilitate new use cases for network data, potentially beyond the scope of Operations.
Gordon Beith, Director of Product Management at VSS Monitoring, will discuss practical considerations for migrating to a Big Data Visibility Architecture, including:
• Accommodating network volume, velocity and variety using sophisticated hardware preprocessing and APIs
• Metadata versus flow statistics versus full packet capture – considerations and use cases for each
• Open versus proprietary formats for storage
• Pros and cons of integrated capture/storage/analysis solutions versus separate capture/ storage solutions coupled with virtualized analysis probes
• Addressing retrieval in an "open" forensics model
• Leveraging a distributed computing framework for processing large-scale data stores

May 1 2014
3:00 pm
45 mins
David Demlow, VP, Product Management; Craig Theriac, Director, Product Management, Scale Computing
High availability has traditionally required virtualization and a SAN. Then came virtual storage appliances (VSAs) which were managed like a physical SAN but ran as a virtual machine. Now comes hypervisor convergence, the latest trend that eliminates the entire concept of a SAN, both physical or virtual. Is this hype? Or can this latest technology save you time and money? Let Scale Computing show you how HC3 can radically change your environment for the better.
HC3 represents the cutting edge of infrastructure innovation: A highly available platform with the scalability of the cloud and the security of your own servers, coupled with a radical reduction in both upfront costs and TCO. No more VMware. No more SAN. No more headaches.
Leveraging a Big Data Model in the IT domain, Part 1
Apr 30 2014
5:00 pm
60 mins
Andrew R. Harding, VP of Product Line Management
This is part 1 of our 2-part series on Big Data Visibility with Network Packet Brokers (NPBs).
Even as network data has exploded in volume, velocity and variety, network monitoring solutions have been behind the curve in adopting new technologies and approaches to cost-effectively scale and accommodate a widening virtualization trend. Customers are demanding greater freedom in how applications are deployed and are moving to a consolidated, shared model of data using big data frameworks, such as Hadoop, which enable large-scale processing and retrieval for multiple stakeholders.
Join Andrew R. Harding, VP of Product Line Management at VSS Monitoring, as he discusses:
- Big data and its implications for network monitoring and forensics
- Why network monitoring solutions are lagging from a virtualization standpoint and why this is a problem for network owners
- How certain traditional network monitoring functions will eventually be offloaded to adjacent technologies
- How Network Packet Brokers can accelerate the adoption of virtualized probes, "open" storage, and big data technologies within network management / monitoring
• How a Big Data Visibility architecture can enable network data to become part of the "big data store," allowing it to integrate with the rest of enterprise data
OpenStack & Optimized Hardware: Avoid Problems That Can Stop Deployment
Apr 30 2014
4:00 pm
60 mins
Greg Elkinbard, Mirantis & Russ Lindsay, StackVelocity
Frictionless access to information makes everyone think they can do this at home. But, in fact, deploying OpenStack on optimized hardware hardware presents a hatful of challenges that your infrastructure team might not have thought about.
In this session, we'll look at a range of challenges that can stop your project before it makes it to deployment. The session is divided into two topics that we'll dive into:
(a) Introduction to scalability techniques: clouds from a hardware perspective.
Building a large cloud is more than just throwing hardware into a hall and lighting it up. Network, storage, compute and scaling strategies must be designed in from the beginning. In the current state of the art of OpenStack, some decisions are easy to unwind later on and some are impossible. This portion of the presentation will focus on describing the steps you need to execute to build a successful cloud and which decisions you can push off to later.
(b) The second section of the session will focus on strategies to simplify the optimized hardware experience. If you're assembling racks on onsite, you need a plan to deal with everything from cabling and airflow to the NIC firmware and drivers. Each of these details can delay your project and run up costs. We'll also look at the trend toward scalable rack-level units that are factory integrated and tested.
Attendees will also learn about some of the simple things that are obvious with enterprise hardware but can be challenging in any optimized hardware environment. Examples include power on/off, power monitoring, system health/event monitoring, remote console access.
You'll leave this session armed with practical knowledge about running OpenStack on Open Compute and other optimized hardware hardware.
