New Year Snap: OSDC new date, VLAN plugin updates and stories of success

We welcome all those who have returned from holidays to the desk, with a few quick updates.
The Open Source Data Center Conference has been postponed to a new date: 9- 10 June 2010. Good news is, the Call for Papers is still open, so all interested speakers who would like to join high flyers the likes of Baron Schwartz (Percona), Florian Haas (Linbit), Dr. Michael Schwartzkopff (MultiNET), Erkan Yanar und Ralph Dehner (B1 Systems) are more than welcome to submit.
A small Christmas gift came for those who may have missed it – an update of the check_interface_table_v2.pl with integrated VLANs. The generated table overview also shows which ports are configured to which VLANs. Test it on the demo system, or download it from Monitoringexchange.org or Netways.org.
Finally for some relaxed reading and project inspiration, we have two new success stories online to share. Check out the hosting and high availability solutions that supported Tradoria’s growth over 2000 online stores and one of Germany’s leading e-commerce platforms, or learn from leading online community StayFriends’ experience with hosting, monitoring and high availability.
For those still away on holiday, we wish you all the best with much envy.
