Newsletter: February 2015

Posted by Unknown on 9:26 AM with No comments

Despite the Icelandic winter and being the shortest month of the year, February’s activities really heated it up for us – here’s a sample of all the things we covered in just a few weeks – plus, GreenQloud turned 5! (More on that later.)

UTmessan

We kicked off the celebrations at UTmessan, and had a great time meeting up with customers and business partners, and seeing what everyone’s working on.

Our photo booth was a big hit, and we even gave away a fantastic helicopter tour and a beautiful hotel stay to a lucky winner! Check out our live blog coverage for both days!

In addition, we were delighted to host a cocktail reception for all the companies at UTmessan and launch the event.

Framadagar

Barely recovered from UTmessan, we visited Framadagar to introduce QStack™ and our company to the students.

You can read all about our experiences in our blogpost from Sarah, GreenQloud’s HR Manager.

HPCKP '15

Our brilliant co-founder and CTO Tryggvi Lárusson, joined representatives from Advania on a trip to Spain to speak at the annual HPC conference about next generation clouds in service of big data.

You can find Tryggvi's presentation here.

Not only was Tryggvi’s talk a great success, his thoughts were prominently featured in HPCwire – proving once again that QStack is a prime choice for companies involved in high performance computing and big data.

Happy 5th Birthday GreenQloud!

Did we mention it was our birthday this month? On the 18th to be exact, and we organized a special evening with office olympics, pizza, and all-round party fun!

Our co-founders Eiki and Tryggvi are preparing a summary of their thoughts about our journey: stay tuned to our blog, and in the meantime you can read what our CMO Paula Gould and our CEO Jónsi Stefánsson had to say.

Webinar

Eiki Hrafnsson, co-founder and US COO of GreenQloud teamed up with our partners at Nuvalo to deliver an amazing webinar about QStack.

If you missed it, we’ll be publishing a lot of details in the coming weeks! A quick introductory video is available on YouTube and Vimeo.

Last word

2015 is promising to be a great year for QStack and GreenQloud. The event circuit is starting up, and we’ll be traveling extensively to answer the demand for the most advanced hybrid IaaS solution. Contact us for details, or catch us on the road!
