lot of information was shared. For 2017 you should see more posts in the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cloudera.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Cloudera<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/openstack.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">OpenStack<\/a> areas as well as the private <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/DbaaS\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">DBaaS<\/a> service we are currently working on. <\/p>\n<p>But obviously we did not only write blogs \ud83d\ude42 There have been two <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dbi-services.com\/events-en\/event-transform-from-proprietary-to-open\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">PostgreSQL events<\/a> organized by us, we <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pgday.ch\/2016\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">sponsored and had two talks at the Swiss PGDay 2016<\/a> and we had a talk at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ittage.informatik-aktuell.de\/programm\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">IT Tage 2016 in Frankfurt<\/a>.<br \/>\nFor 2017 we&#8217;ll be organizing an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dbi-services.com\/newsroom\/events\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Oracle \u00b7 Open Infrastructure \u00b7 Cloudera &amp; Big Data Appliance<\/a> event, we&#8217;ll be at the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pgday.ch\/2017\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Swiss PGDay 2017<\/a> and probably we&#8217;ll be at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dbi-services.com\/events-en\/it-tage-2016\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">IT Tage in Frankfurt<\/a> again. If nothing goes wrong we&#8217;ll be at the <a href=\"https:\/\/m17.mariadb.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">M|17 in New York<\/a>. This is what currently is scheduled, maybe there will be even more.<\/p>\n<p>For the projects we did in 2016 there was a lot of stuff: We did high available EnterpriseDB PPAS projects, we did high available community PostgreSQL projects, we did a MongoDB project and we even did a PostgreSQL project on Windows. We implemented Ansible at a customer to automate the PostgreSQL deployments. There have been several MariaDB and MySQL <a href=\"http:\/\/galeracluster.com\/products\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Galera cluster<\/a> implementations as well as MySQL <a href=\"http:\/\/severalnines.com\/product\/clustercontrol\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Cluster Control<\/a> setups. Out of all these projects we got several <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dbi-services.com\/offering\/products\/dbiflexservice\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">SLAs<\/a> signed for MySQL as well as for PostgreSQL, which is a great thing as this proves that our customers trust us. On top of that we certified 7 of our service desk people on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.enterprisedb.com\/training\/training-and-certification\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">EnterpriseDB Postgres Plus (EDB Postgres Advanced Server 9.5 Professional)<\/a>. Nobody in the D-A-CH region achieved that until now.<br \/>\nFor 2017 there are already some projects in the pipe: One huge migration from another vendor to PostgreSQL\/EDB, a migration from another vendor to community PostgreSQL. We will assist a customer in building a high available, extremely flexible PostgreSQL deployment for their web infrastructure. For two other projects we&#8217;ll migrate existing PostgreSQL deployments to PostgreSQL 9.5 and there will be one huge 6TB migration from PostgreSQL 9.2 to a recent release. And this is just what is known today.<\/p>\n<p>Workshops: In 2016 we released our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dbi-services.com\/trainings\/postgresql-dba-essentials-workshop\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">PostgreSQL DBA Essentials Workshop<\/a> which was given four times since then. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dbi-services.com\/trainings\/mysql-dba-essentials-workshop-3-days\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">MySQL DBA Essentials workshop<\/a> was also given several times last year.<br \/>\nFor 2017 the MySQL workshop will be updated and we plan to release a brand new MongoDB workshop.<\/p>\n<p>In 2016 we released <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dbi-services.com\/offering\/products\/dmk-management-kit\/DMK\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">DMK<\/a> for PostgreSQL and NoSQL.<br \/>\nFor 2017 all DMK releases will be updated with the latest and greatest we learned at our customers. One big announcement will be an appliance based on open source products. I can not tell you much right now but there will be some news in the next weeks.<\/p>\n<p>You can see that we invested much in these areas in 2016 and 2017 will be no exception to that. The trend goes even up.<\/p>\n<p>Finally my personal wish list for 2017: Dare to be more open, more flexible and to have fun when you work in your IT landscape. Great things can be build based on open source tools.<\/p>\n<p>PS: To my colleagues: I am sure I forgot one or the other thing we did in 2016 which needs to mentioned here. Just leave a comment to complete the list \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>Happy new 2017<br \/>\nDaniel<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Disclaimer: This will not be a technical post at all.
