CloudExpo : Live Photo: The world's la... Meet Catalyst, SoftLayer’s Startup Incubator Program. This is the Churn - a blog by Digital Butter. Recently Butter met up with an interesting company that works with one of our partners, MODX.
That company is SoftLayer, and the reason they got our attention is that, apart from Amazon, they’re the only hosting platform providing a public cloud in Asia right now. Several members of the SoftLayer team – including chief strategy officer George Karidis – were in the region last month, and while they were in Hong Kong, we took the opportunity to introduce them to some of our industry friends, over drinks and canapés at Pure SoHo.
Duke (SoftLayer) and Glen (Butter) Deciphering SoftLayer Acronyms. As a bit of an introduction, I began my career as a GSP and hosted LAMP sites with WHM for SMBs ...
NBD. If you're not fluent in "Tech Geek Acronym," that sentence may as well be written in Greek. If I were to de-acronym it, I'd say, "I began my career as a Game Service Provider" and hosted Linux, Apache, MySQL and PHP sites with Web Host Managed for Small- and Medium-sized Businesses ... no big deal. " OS Reload, OS Reload, OS Reload... Need to OS Reload many servers you say!?!
Do you have a large number of servers whom could use fresh start? A 1/2 dozen boxes which can now be re-purposed? Maybe want to upgrade to the latest version of Debian and just couldn't be bothered with apt? What ever the series of events which have led to this moment, you now find yourself in need of a way to submit a seemingly limitless number of OS Reloads and the threat of carpel tunnel makes you weary of accomplishing this task the old(or would that be new) fashioned way.
Difficulty bonus: providing primary IP addresses to identify servers, have all servers provisioned with the same operating system. Technologies. An Introduction to Object Storage. With the release of SoftLayer Object Storage, we wanted to integrate brand-unique, value-added features on top of the already comprehensive tools that have been set in place to provide a first-in-class product for our customers.
While Object Storage has many features that come standard from the OpenStack Object Storage project (code-named Swift), the additional features we have integrated will bring your storage to the next level. Before introducing you to the features, we’d like to better acquaint you with the architecture you can expect to see when working with SoftLayer Object Storage. Authentication Endpoints SoftLayer Object Storage has API endpoints on both the private network and public internet. Private network calls can only be made from servers and computing instances purchased from SoftLayer, or devices connected to the private network via VPN.

Komen for the Cure is a Dallas-based charitable foundation that raises millions of dollars for breast cancer education, research, treatment and awareness every year, and given SoftLayer's commitment to charitable giving, it was a no-brainer for us to get involved. Events in cities around the country are hosted throughout the year, the most recognizable being the Race for the Cure and the 3-Day for the Cure 60-mile walk. One of the Dallas area teams participating in this year's 3-Day for the Cure walk in November is Pink Soles in Motion, and SoftLayer is a proud sponsor of their efforts.
Over the past six years this team has raised approximately $700,000 for the Susan G. Komen foundation, and for the past two years, they've been the top fundraising team in the Dallas/Fort Worth area! Amsterdam Data Center (AMS01): Does it Measure Up? SoftLayer data centers are designed in a "pod" concept: Every facility in every location is laid out similarly, and you'll find the same network and server hardware connected to the same network.
The idea behind it is that this design makes it easier for us to build out new locations quickly, we can have identical operational processes and procedures in each facility, and customers can expect the exact same hosting experience regardless of data center location. When you've got several data centers in one state, that uniformity is easy to execute. When you open facilities on opposite sides of the country, it seems a little more difficult.

Server Management Application for iPhone, iPad, Android, & Windows Phone. The only way to provide the level of scalability and control that SoftLayer delivers is by building a different kind of network.
So we innovated a network of networks, including a public network, a private network, and an internal management network. Each system in our data centers has three separate network interfaces to each network, segregating and securing traffic, and providing greater access and streamlined management. Kelley @ Projective Space LES. Addicted to SoftLayer … And SoftLayer Customers. Chris Gardner (of The Pursuit of Happyness fame) said, "Find something that you love.
Something that gets you so excited you can't wait to get out of bed in the morning. Forget about money. Be happy. " Now I can't honestly tell you I'm able to "forget about money" or that I'm much of a morning person, but I'm quick to tell people that I love what I do.

The Object of My Backup Storage. TL;DR: I deleted my personal site, restored it, and wrote an awesome rsync-like backup script that's really fast and easy on IO. Github link at the end of the article. Ever had a dangling symlink ruin your rm-rf?

High Availability Advanced Control. The SoftLayer API and its ‘Star Wars’ Sibling. When I present about the SoftLayer API at conferences and meetups, I often use an image that shows how many of the different services in the API are interrelated and connected. As I started building the visual piece of my presentation, I noticed a curious "coincidence" about the layout of the visualization: What does that look like to you?
You might need to squint your eyes and tilt your head or "look beyond the image" like it's one of those "Magic Eye" pictures, but if you're a geek like me, you can't help but notice a striking resemblance to one of the most iconic images from Star Wars: MODX Meetup at CMS Expo.
