Every year a ton of gifts are sent out by businesses to their partners and customers in time for the Holidays. Collectively, they are spending millions of dollars on this. However, while gifts are nice, we decided last year that we’re not going to play this game. We donated the money to charity instead, in our case by supporting Doctors Without Borders.
Now we would like to urge other companies to do the same. Spend that big batch of gift money on a charity of your choice. It makes a difference.

A couple of months ago, we launched Atomia.cloud, a site dedicated completely to Atomia’s cloud hosting software and our integration with OpenStack, a popular open source software for creating public and private clouds. We still have Atomia.com as the main site for our whole suite of hosting software, but it’s been interesting to see what a focused effort on one specific part of Atomia could accomplish.

I recently had the opportunity to deliver a keynote at WorldHostingDays, a popular hosting industry event, so I decided to speak about the business and marketing aspects of launching a new product online. Our product of choice would be a cloud service, but this advice applies to almost any kind of hosting venture or web service.

Atomia makes it easy for you to sell cloud services on top of OpenStack, a powerful open source cloud hosting software. You can run Atomia on your own infrastructure, but we recently partnered with Canonical to give you the option to have a fully managed OpenStack cloud to run your hosting business on. It can be a very convenient alternative for many companies to get up and running quickly.

We sent out our holiday greeting cards to customers and partners yesterday. It’s always fun to also give away some cool gifts, but we decided this year to instead make a good-sized donation to Doctors Without Borders (a.k.a. Médecins Sans Frontières, MSF). We are in awe of their selfless, humanitarian efforts. They make a real difference in the world and we are more than happy to support them.
We would like to encourage other companies to do the same. Pick your charity of choice and lend them a hand by making a donation. They can always use your help.

Today is the 15th annual System Administrator Appreciation Day, or just SysAdmin Day for short.
We here at Atomia are all in the hosting industry. To say that sysadmins are vital to our industry and the Internet as a whole would be the understatement of the year.

In general, mobile network operators don’t seem to be huge fans of becoming “dumb pipes” for the internet, but it’s becoming increasingly clear that that is exactly how people are treating them.
Just look at this chart from the latest State of the Internet report from Akamai, showing estimated global voice and data traffic on cellular networks:

We launched a new release of the Atomia cloud hosting platform this week. That merited a cake, we thought, so we asked Elin “Kringelin” Bergman to make us a yummy one.
Here’s the result, and it was indeed very yummy. Thanks Elin!
(Rather geeky, too. We approve! 🙂 )
