Think of Hollywood and I’m guessing you don’t think about data centres. Glossy stars, celeb-studded red carpet premieres, darkened cinemas, 3D, popcorn and the odd heartthrob. These are the things we think of when we muse about the old business in Los Angeles. Not boring old computers. In fact, computers and data centres are exactly [...]

The Cloud – Expand Your Creative Horizons

I went to a talk today by a fabricator. Not a term I had heard before, a fabricator is not a euphemism for a liar, as I had initially thought, but something rather wonderful and completely different altogether.
