Aria. Listen to your IT environment. Podcast series: VMware in Polish with Paweł Orzechowski

We love such initiatives and the whole podcast series “VMware in Polish.” There you will find interesting conversations with extremely inspiring people from the IT world.

👌 We recommend this episode to you in particular, because Piotr Kraś’s guest was Pawel Orzechowski, INDEVOPS’ chief executive.

Listen to Pawel, because he is able to draw the listener into his world like no one else. He knows what he wants to say and he knows how to make it right. 😊

Well, and above all, he has already helped many companies implement Aria and other monitoring and orchestration solutions.

Today:

👌 “Listen to your IT environment.”

Green up! Sustainability as the key in making your company green.

Green up! Sustainability as the key in making your company green.

Are you “green?” Is your company “green”?

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:

Dell Technologies Forum – that’s how it was

Dell Technologies Forum – that’s how it was

#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.

Some of what we can do for you:

👉 VMware stack, i.e. a set for building #cloud (private) on-premise and public cloud.
👉 SDDC is the heart of the cloud and its head 🧠 #orchestration ( #automation ) and #operations ( #observability ).

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. ✋ ✋
