We have several integration components that allow any partner to create their own products: Open API for developing any alternative user cabinet solutions to Ivideon, Mobile SDK for developing a full-featured solution equivalent to Ivideon applications, as well as Web SDK. Recently, we released an improved Web SDK equipped with a new documentation system and demo application that will enhance our […]
Friends, we have come up with a new initiative. Many of you may remember our fun geek project from last year, 'Server in the Clouds': we created a small server based on Raspberry Pi and launched it on a balloon. Now, we’ve decided to take it even further — we're heading to the stratosphere! Let’s briefly recap the essence of the first 'Server in the Clouds' project.
Hello, Habr! I am Taras Chirkov, Director of the Linxdatacenter in Saint Petersburg. Today, in our blog, I will talk about the importance of maintaining cleanliness in a modern data center for its proper functioning, how to measure it correctly, achieve it, and maintain it at the necessary level. The cleanliness trigger A client contacted us regarding a layer of dirt that had developed in the data center in Saint Petersburg.
Friends, it's time to summarize our project-competition 'Server in the Clouds.' For those who are not aware, we launched a fun geek project: we built a small server on Raspberry Pi 3, attached a GPS tracker and sensors to it, loaded everything onto a balloon, and entrusted it to the forces of nature. Where the balloon will land is known only to the gods of the winds and patrons of ballooning, so we suggested a challenge.
I believe that all of us go to restaurants with friends or colleagues. After a fun time, the waiter brings the bill. The next question can be resolved in several ways: The first way, the 'gentlemanly' approach. A tip of 10–15% is added to the bill, and the resulting amount is divided equally among all male individuals. The second way, the 'socialist' approach. The bill is divided equally among all, regardless of […]
This is the first publication in a series of materials dedicated to the changes, improvements, and additions in the upcoming Red Hat OpenShift platform update to version 4.0, which will help prepare for the transition to the new version. Since representatives of the emerging Kubernetes community first gathered in the fall of 2014 at Google’s office in Seattle, it was clear that the project […]
Welcome to Lesson 4. Today, we will finally 'get a feel' for Check Point. Naturally, this will be virtual. During the lesson, we will perform the following actions: Create virtual machines; Install the management server (SMS) and security gateway (SG); Familiarize ourselves with the disk partitioning process; Initialize SMS and SG; Learn about SIC; Access the Gaia Portal. Additionally, at the beginning […]
March 31 is International Backup Day, and the week leading up to it is always filled with stories related to security. On Monday, we learned about the compromised Asus and 'three unnamed manufacturers'. Particularly superstitious companies spend the entire week on edge, making backups. All because we are all a bit careless about security: some forget to buckle their seatbelt in the back […]
The author placed a Raspberry Pi Zero, a Bluetooth dongle, and a cable inside his new Handy Tech Active Star 40 Braille display. The built-in USB port provides power. This resulted in a self-sufficient monitorless ARM computer running Linux, equipped with a keyboard and a Braille display. It can be charged/powered via USB, including from a power bank or solar charger. Therefore, it can operate without […]
Hello, Habr! I am a contract systems administrator, or rather, an outsourcer who consults and maintains both individuals and organizations of various profiles regarding IT infrastructure. It's a tough, stressful, almost chaotic job, within which I've seen everything: from spilled vodka on laptops to serious server crashes in companies that had the budget for servers but not for brains, […]
What a loud headline, you might say. A new manufacturer of PBXs on Asterisk? Not exactly, but the equipment is quite fresh and interesting. Today, I want to tell you about the Openvox unified communications system, and it seems that the manufacturer has its own vision for unifying these very communications 🙂 The manufacturer OpenVox has been slowly but surely moving towards a fully modular structure. Initially, they made […]
Hello everyone, this is my first experience on Habr. I want to write about non-standard methods of managing network equipment in external networks. What does non-standard mean: in most cases, to manage equipment in an external network, you need: a public IP address. Or, if the equipment is behind someone's NAT, then a public IP and a 'forwarded' port. A tunnel (PPTP/OpenVPN/L2TP+IPSec, etc.) to […]
