INTRODUCTION:
-------------
Unigroup is working on our March 2013 meeting, we are working on
one of two potential talks, depending on speaker availability
(and we are awaiting to hear back from one of those speakers).
We are also awaiting meeting room confirmation, so stay tuned
for that too.
The topics we are working on are: Failover+Multipath Network
Routing, or, Linux Remote Desktop Access using NoMachine NX.
Either of these topics would continue on our Post-SuperStorm
Sandy theme... in these cases: concerning network redundancy
and remote access. Our RSVPs are open for March 2013.
We are also working on a Field-Trip meeting on Data Centers,
to hopefully include a Data Center Tour. We are currently
working with a local Datacenter Vendor, to hopefully hold this
meeting in the upcoming months. This meeting may happen on
a non-3rd Thursday too, so keep an eye out for it.
** For Unigroup Members ONLY (current full membership, and
fully paid up): See the NYC Events / Trade Show Section below.
Unigroup has obtained a very limited number of passes to the
DataCenterDynamics 2013 NYC Data Center Event happening TOMORROW.
