New challenges

Posted Michael Ryom1 CommentPosted in Uncategorized

Once again I find my self in the situation where I have not blogged in what seems like ages, around four month now. Once again for every good reasons, besides the occasional travel and vacation. Just got home from three weeks in France with the family. It is not like I have not tried, I simple have not finished all the open blog post I have yet, this one will make the exception. So I am looking forward to a fall of more blogging and as the title says new challenges. Goodbye This also means a goodbye to Proact, my […]

Using Ubiquiti Networks in the home and lab

Posted Michael RyomLeave a commentPosted in Uncategorized

I first deployed Ubiquiti networks (Ubnt) equipment around twelve month ago. The Cisco SMB access point I had bought, never really lived up to my expectations, and I had now gotten so fed up with it that a new solution was needed. Looking around people was talking and recommending Ubiquiti’s access points. At the time the Ubiquiti UniFi AP AC Pro has not been released yet. So I waited some time for it to come in stores and bought two at the same time. This was only the beginning after that success, two other Ubiquiti product has entered my home and […]

I’m speaking at Nordic UserCon 2015

Posted Michael RyomLeave a commentPosted in Uncategorized

Nordic UserCon 2015 is coming up fast, less then a month now. If you haven’t already seen the agenda, have a look here at my previous blog post. I’m holding a session about vRops. The title is vRops Operational Deep Dive – So I’m not going to talk about xDB, vPostgres or Cassandra, as I don’t wanna do a techinal deep dive. In my opinion, vRops is a product where you shoudn’t really care about how it works. Just know it works, how to deploy it and how to use it. This is after all the operational side of things I’m […]

That I will be joining an awsome team at Proact. You shouldn’t listen to rumors, but this time around it all true. As of the 1th of December I will be a part of Team Proact. I will be joining such well know people as Mads Fog, Nicolai Sandager and Heino Skov. My role will be as a Cloud Architect. One of the reasons for joining Proact, is their focus. Two key aspects where this is true is PHC, Proact Hybrid Cloud and their focus on the journey to the SDDC or Software Defined Data Center. So there is a […]

After working around ten years in the public sector I have now moved on, and from the 1th of June I now work at Nordea, which is a large financial corporation in Nordic and Baltic regions of Europe. This have made me contemplate what I’ve been through the last years. Which is some thing I often forget to do in the heat of the battle, trying to push onward. It has at times seemed like nothing was possible and that everything has been at a complet standstill. Luckily this isn’t the case, and in this first post I’ll give a […]
