Now it’s just some few days left of this year and if we look back, it’s really been an eventful year. Here are some highlights from 2011: 2011 was the year of expansion Today we are approximately 260 employees and we’re still recruiting. Want to work with us? 2011 was the year of acquisitions This […]
I torsdags den 1 december var (ännu) en dag i molnets tecken då 2011 års Cloud Conference gick av stapeln i Kista Entré. Personligen uppskattade jag detta format mycket. Spännande keynotes varvas med pauser där deltagare och utställare byter erfarenheter och skapar relationer. Ser vi till de föredrag som hölls så är det primärt 2 […]
As we previously have mentioned on basefarm.se, we have been an exhibitor at the swedish digital event Internetdagarna 2011 in Stockholm. It was our first visit to Internetdagarna, but probably not the last! We had many nice discussions in our booth and met several interesting contacts. Moreover, our sales team could be seen in some […]
Yesterday, two of our employees had a career discussion with the students at KYH in Stockholm. They shared their career-related experience in the IT industry, shared their lessons learned from recent career choices and how it’s like to work at Basefarm. We at Basefarm are currently looking for new staff and are always interested in […]
För ett tag sedan släpptes version 2.0 av denna populära “NoSQL” databas. Version 2.0.0 utlovar 25 % mindre index och 25 % bättre prestanda.

Recently one of our customers (who has administrative access and is responsible for their own applications) chose to install the product pdfforge on their server. This server acts as a terminal server, providing Microsoft Office services for multiple users who access it remotely. Everything had been working fine on this server when one Sunday morning […]
A colleague was trying to install a SQL Server 2008 R2 standalone instance today and he kept hitting a weird error when passing the credentials for the service accounts. He was running the setup as a local administrator on the server in question and he was trying to add a domain user as the service […]
Last night we had an incident with one of our customers’ old SQL Server 2000 instances. The machine in question had had it’s WSUS windows update run last night and had been forced to reboot after this had occurred. After this happened the SQL Server service refused to start and just got stuck in a […]
Med referens till artikeln i IDG http://www.idg.se/2.1085/1.403348/serverrack-ska-radda-jatte-i-kris . Nöden är väl ändå uppfinningens moder? Trots alla stora och återkommande framsteg som skett genom åren på prestandasidan i form av minne, cpu och format, har väldigt lite hänt på själva plattformssidan. En server anno 2001 är väldigt lik en server idag. Administration och automation av infrastruktur har […]
We make extensive use of Hyper-V within Basefarm and I recently encountered a strange problem when doing maintenance on a 5 node windows cluster running the hyper-v role. For reasons I won’t bore you with here (pre-production testing basically), I had been evicting and adding nodes to my host level windows cluster, but when trying […]
