What is DevOps?
It may be hard to Define, but you’ll know it when you see it.
If everything in your world is streamlined and flawless, then you probably don’t need devops – if on the other hand you encounter the occasional bottleneck, or feel you can’t get work done because you’re always fire-fighting, or find errors end in battles between your devs and your ops, then read on…

2nd Generation Turbo Cloud
We launched our Turbo Cloud at the beginning of 2014, bringing online a fleet of brand new Dell R620 1u servers loaded with super fast hardware.
