A timely topic, very trendy, as they say, a catchy one. Many words have been said in the context of ecology, caring for the environment, cleaning up the Earth, hybrid cars, nature conservation, climate change, etc., etc… I could list and list. Many companies are betting on sustainability. The term has already entered our vocabulary, and to no one’s surprise, awareness of this topic is growing exponentially. There is also a growing responsibility to balance what we bring to the environment, economy, society and how we take care of these areas with what we take out of them.
The topic is very close to my heart, as I grew up in a beautiful place, in the land of great lakes, where two of them were heavily and successively polluted in the 1980s by a local linen plant. Over the course of twenty years it took a lot of action, i.e. the construction of a sewage treatment plant, activities of nature lovers, fishing out garbage and other actions, for the reservoirs to rehabilitate.
Nowadays, we have enough awareness and opportunities that we ourselves, can make a real impact on environmental protection to prevent such senseless destruction of nature.
At November’s VMware Partner Innovation Day, Piotr Kraś talked about green energy, savings and effective changes anyone can make in their company to go green.
Inspired by his speech, I decided to ask you: do the tools and solutions you use in your organizations contribute to environmental protection? Do you know how to effectively protect the environment with your data centers? And most importantly: what are the real savings from these actions for the company?
Do you know the answers to these questions? To show you how to make your IT resources have a positive impact on environmental protection, I’ll start with VMware Aria Operations. What does Aria have and how do you use this product? With Aria you get, among other things:
dedicated dashboards that will show energy savings,
showing where you are getting your energy from,
whether it is, for example, energy from coal,
whether the workloads you have are really optimized and whether they are the workloads the business needs,
whether there is no waste of resources there.
The less buffers we have, the less redundant infrastructure we have, the greener we are. All of this, of course, has to align with the business, because if the business has to have HA – high-availability solutions, then we will have to provide them with those buffers. What can we do for you?
With Indevops implementations you will gain:
a dashboard that, 15 minutes after installation, will show you where your business is in sustainability,
optimization, i.e.: a machine that shuts down your servers for the weekend and turns them on on Monday to save energy.
There are concrete numbers behind this solution, so real money saved. With concrete data you will gain the ability to determine which of your data centers are greener:
you can specify, for example: that you have two data centers, one of which is greener, the other is less green, and so you can implement part of the workload in this data center, where it is more beneficial,
so here we have room for automation, for orchestration of resources.
What else can you do? If you have older technology equipment in your company, it’s worthwhile for you to consider refreshing your infrastructure.
Old equipment is energy inefficient, it consumes more power because it has old processors, it has less capacity because the power supplies are old generation, and this is another input to apply our implementations:
data center analysis is important – show me “what’s that red” and what we can improve here,
we show you the data how many tons of carbon dioxide you produced, what is your impact on the environment, how many trees need to be planted to clean up what the company produced,
and we show this on a customized dashboard.
This allows you to see the real cost for electricity.
INDEVOPS, together with VMware, contribute to savings for companies that trust us and the best place to save money is #virtualization. Here are some examples:
We run many things on one server:
multiple workloads,
it is a milestone in achieving ESG goals.
free VMs,
utilized VMs,
raising server utilization.
The more virtualization we have, the less physical devices we have:
heavy networking solutions,
heavy storage solutions.
Consequently, the more virtualization, the level of “greenness” increases
we can use the devices longer,
we can move our workloads to where that energy is cheaper (thanks, for example, to VMware HCX),
if we have two data centers in different parts of Poland, we can apply the following solution: at the weekend the workload is running in one data center, and during the week it runs in the other data center.
And how do you like our solutions?
If the topic is close to you, write to us. If you would like to make the world greener for your cause. 😊
My colleagues and I will tell you how to improve your infrastructure to make you even greener.
Operations and infrastructure management, so you can see the efficiency:

I have been mustering up for a long time to write a text about the November IT Women “Business partnerships as a way to success”.
Not because I don’t have anything to say, but because the meeting made a huge impression on me.
It was a meeting full of twists and turns, full of humor and emotions.
It started with the information that Dorota Wellman would not perform for us. A big surprise, because I got the impression that many of us were really looking forward to this meeting. The first reaction was, well, sadness, but immediately afterwards it turned out that Ms. Dorota had a worthy replacement-Malgosia Ohme. Both ladies are interesting, but their vibes are different.
Malgosia’s lecture turned out to be extraordinary. She moved the heart and soul, there was a lot of laughter and tears, there was everything that I did not expect at all, but which I love, even poetry. Pure magic.
Empathy and great kindness – that’s all Małgosia.
Professional burnout, life values, spirituality are just a drop of topics covered at the meeting. The essence of the meaning of our lives, all woven into the stories of beautiful women and lots of reflections. Sources of female power, enslavement, stereotypes, studies that show how the IT market is shaping up for us Women, and how much work we still have ahead of us to change the consciousness of people who often see the world of technology as an industry dedicated to men.
I can’t list everything that Małgorzata Ohme talked about, and still, even though it’s been a week, I’m very impressed with the lecture.
The theme of community is the first thing that touched me, because it resonates with my view of relationships. It also resonates with the theme of the meeting, which is partnership.
I don’t need to convince anyone how important good relationships based on trust are. How much their quality affects our well-being, which according to statistics we have at a low level these days, how much creating a community affects building valuable partnerships in business and in life.
I also see that the Women of IT event has become our little women’s community, where we can meet and talk or simply just hug. There are few such purely human reflexes in the hard business in which we, IT Women, function every day.
The second, and in fact the first lecture (because Malgosia Ohme performed at the end) that absolutely delighted me was Agata Dokurno’s lecture on art. Agata, of course, talked about partnerships and the VMware Partner Connect platform, but I changed the title of her talk to my own: “Passion and love for art. How to kidnap the listener into the world of beauty with a capital “B”. For me, that’s exactly what it was.Thanks to the charismatic Agata, I moved into the world of opera, theater and Picasso. I immediately wanted to see the exhibitions at the National Museum and Bajadera at the Grand Theater. I will reveal a big secret to you that as a little girl I really wanted to be a ballerina. The memories came alive.
That’s the kind of experience and excitement I expect from the Women of IT and Girls of Arrow Electronics, hats off to you, because you raised the bar a lot. You have whetted appetites for the next event and not only because of the delicious Japanese cuisine at the #Nobu Hotel (and that dessert, that insane chocolate mango mousse…).
A big thank-you for creating a fantastic, friendly atmosphere and inviting me.
Finally, I will write that I always keep repeating: I love the feminine energy. We, Women, are extremely inspiring and can be very supportive of each other. I will also repeat after Małgosia:”Just here and now”, because that’s all that really that matters.
I recommend you to think if you are a child of the universe and if you can selflessly be there for someone just like that? Here and now? Are you good business partners? I’ll leave you with these questions and invite you to share what is your opinion on this matter.
In less than a week, another #event from the Women IT by #Arrow series 😊
“Partnership in business – the path to success.”
I absolutely agree with this slogan and my experiences, not only professional ones, show how important partnership is in every area of life.
✍ Some time ago I wrote to you what it was like during the 5th edition of Women #IT:
Meanwhile, the 6th edition is already underway. 👌 👌
I am waiting for this meeting with excitement, because the previous one made a great impression on me. This time, additionally, one of the technological partners of the event will be our key #PartnerVMware, with an extraordinary speaker Agata Dokurno. 😊
Agata will talk about the strategy of mutual winning in business using the example of VMware Partner Connect Evolution.
This is definitely a platform worth your attention. I know some of it and use it every day when running INDEVOPS marketing campaigns, so it’s time to learn more.
The second technological partner is also our Partner Dell Technologies and that’s all there is to it about the partnership 😉 😊, and the meeting is still ahead of us.
There will be a lot of surprises, because in addition to Japanese cuisine (this is an important aspect for me, because everyone in the office knows that I love food-related topics 😉), a great journalist, #Personality with a capital “O” – Dorota Wellman, will give her lecture.
More in the next reports from the meeting and after. ✍
#Friday , Friday, Friday, and we want to end this week with an event that has been #Linkedin since Tuesday – Dell Technologies Forum 2023. It was definitely worth being there and meeting you. At least for a moment, feel the atmosphere and bustle of the city of the future by Dell Technologies. We navigated Modern Technology and Workforce Transformation. The districts gathered in their avenues a lot of attractions, all kinds of surprises and opportunities to learn about new IT solutions. 😊 Panels and discussions conducted in the style of a real gala. You could listen to experts, professors and technology experts:
👌 Future of Work: About the future of work in the context of new technologies. 👌 Modern Data Infrastructure: Modern data infrastructure – the key to success. 👌 Multicloud by APEX: Get to know the multi-cloud strategy by APEX. 👌 Security by Design: Security is a priority. Learn how to design them. 👌 The Future is on the EDGE: Let’s focus on the future – the future in cloud computing.
Our immediate reality is definitely #AI and everything centered around it. Many questions and doubts have been dispelled and clarified, but some of them are still controversial, for example, does AI have consciousness? We leave you with this question.😉 Let us know what you think about it.😊
We presented ourselves in the #Apex district 😊 Marcin Rzepa, he can talk 😊, and this is only part of what he talked about.
SDDC as #NSX , #vSphere , #vSAN , and on top of it the head 🧠 that we have been specializing in for 6 years can cover the entire #Mulitcloud and give it a uniform user experience. All this requires commitment not only from us as INDEVOPS, but above all from you, so that we can best recognize your needs and help you as best as we can. Our clients already know about this and use these solutions every day. SDDC allows us to manage our #datacenter in the same way as in public clouds, and at the same time provides us with full control over the environment: 👉 building services 👉 management via IaC 👉 controlling the VMware cloud, just like other clouds.
The panel was co-hosted with our colleague Andrzej Szymczak from VMware , whom we would like to thank very much 😊 🤝 If you want more information about #SDDC and our other implementations, please contact us. ✍ ✍ Until next time. ✋ ✋
Still full of emotions, but smiles on the faces of the listeners. 🙂😉
The pains of our customers are taken very seriously by us.
How we deal with them could be heard at the panel.
Marcin Rzepa told what some of Indevops’ experiences with projects at our clients looked like.
What impact our actions have on proactivity and application performance.
How, thanks to our DevOps teams, we solved the biggest problems of the companies that trusted us and decided on our implementations.
