Time to be out on vacations

Seth says…

In the US, the next two weeks are traditionally the slowest of the year. Plenty of vacations, half-day Fridays, casual Mondays, martini Tuesdays… you get the idea.

That’s my view too. I always wondered what was the slowest months of the year when it comes to evaluating or budgeting sales …. I now think it’s definitely August. We are always afraid to see slow downs on June or July, but August has proved to be the slowest in the last years. It’s not all negative, support calls and tickets are also down. It’s time to optimize the work processes and prepare for the coming weeks !

Summer + Datacenter = Potential Problems

I was reading this article from Datacenter knowledge : Is Your Data Center Ready for the Summer? - Data Center Knowledge and it made me think we had our first taste of the summer some days ago here in Montreal. Heat inside a datacenter is critical and as you can imagine it is harder to cool a datacenter in summer when it’s 30 degrees (celcius) outside. At iWeb our datacenters are growing and filling up so fast that thinking about how our datacenters reacted to summer temperatures last year has nothing to do with how they will react this year. Well, so far so good, some air conditioning units reported errors and we already planned some adjustments but no real problem, our infrastructure team did a good job!
