Working weekend
Martin, Michael, Connor and myself are onsite this weekend, (Jeremy would have been here as well if he had not been Inter Railing), changing out a client’s server for a Hyper-V based server system. The day started early with copying files and databases, before we go for the switch over and then all the PC and peripheral configuration. The plan is to get the majority of the work done today and then Martin and I will come back tomorrow to check all is well.
This client is a 24/7 operation so a workable system has to be back online as soon as possible – Martin’s plan includes getting one PC working in the transport office before we start on the rest of the network. As the client uses Octagon Technology’s hosted Exchange services they are not losing their email at any time – the staff that are in are using their smartphones to keep in contact with their clients.
Diana has a vital role in today’s job – she has timed the family shopping trip to coincide with lunch so she can bring us sandwiches – also she is manning the emergency phone!

Octagon 20 at BG Venues
Kamila and I were out today making the final preparations for Octagon Technology’s 20th birthday party which is next week. Of course we needed coffee!
We are using the Refectory at BG Venues – Bev and her team have been a real help throughout the process, nothing has been too much trouble for them. If you need a venue you should give them a call.

London
My meetings today are in the City of London. (I’ll post a full sized version of this image when I get home).
Octagon Technology has been approached by a company to update their systems to help reduce their investment in new hardware and take advantage of our secure cloud exchange and backup services.
