It’s so cool to see EC moving the direction I was recommending. This move will certainly increase service levels.
Well, I would say that it depends more on software anyway. But yes, we are moving back to mainframes, net-clouds and totally globalized structures
Looks awesome. Anticipating spectacular results from these changes. Let me know when you need someone to test. U can sign me up.
Thank you Frankie!
Actually the tests are in process, we already even have some production services using this hardware. Definitely not bad results so far!
