From time to time someone asks what's going on this quarter with the hosting environment.  It is a great question and we are so busy we don't always stop to announce what we're doing!  So I thought I'd take a minute to post this list of strategic projects already underway...

Current Dovetail Internet Technologies Hosting Initiatives:

• Extending secure off-site storage practices.
  • New arrangements for data archiving and storage will enable us to extend the benefits of off-site storage.
    
• Increasing the capabilities of the core network infrastructure to gigabit bandwidth capacity.
  • Replacement of the core network with higher capacity switches will enhance performance and increase internal traffic speed.
    
• Continued improvements to resource management tool sets.
  • Many tasks performed manually by our staff will be automated such as user reports, domain reports, disk usage, etc.
    
• Increasing backup capacity.  
  • Having complete the implementation of a gigabit SAN we will be adding more backup drives with higher capacity, updating the backup software and replacing the backup servers.
    

Have a wonderful day!

When you look at the version number on your favorite software you might ask why all the numbers?!

At dovetail we split up our numbers and give marketing control of the first 2.  So novo version 5.2 is what we will advertise and talk about when discussing features.  The rest of the numbers are for technical support and link back to a tracking system that we use to manage the source code.  These numbers are referred to as the "sub" version numbers.  In the case of novo 5.2.145 the 145 relates to the "revision" number in our subversion system.  That allows us to know exactly what version of every program file was used to make that release and therefore allows us to support that specific version.

I won't get into the 4th digit but suffice it to say that one means something to the programmers too!

Have a wonderful day!
