Disaster Recovery in 2018: Surviving Data Loss and GDPR in Norway

It is July 2018. GDPR is in full effect. Is your disaster recovery plan compliant and battle-tested, or just a PDF gathering dust? We dissect real-world recovery strategies using KVM and NVMe storage.

The CTO’s Guide to Cutting Hosting Costs: Why 'Unlimited' Cloud Resources Are Bankrupting Your Stack

Is your "scalable" cloud infrastructure costing double what it should? We analyze the hidden overhead of noisy neighbors, audit KVM vs. OpenVZ performance in 2015, and define the real cost of latency for Norwegian businesses.

Hope Is Not A Strategy: Architecting Failover for Norwegian Infrastructure

Hardware fails. Networks congest. In a post-Snowden world, relying on a single US-based cloud is professional negligence. We detail a battle-tested disaster recovery setup using KVM, MySQL Replication, and Oslo-based redundancy.

Zero Trust Architecture: Securing Linux Servers in a Post-Snowden Era

The traditional network perimeter is dead. Discover how to implement a 'Never Trust, Always Verify' security model on Linux using KVM isolation, granular iptables, and strict access controls suitable for 2014's threat landscape.
