Why we are unhappy of OVH (ovh.it)

By Giovanni Manghi
Giovanni Manghi's picture

Last week we had our main server, housed at OVH, down for almost one full day. This what happened:

  • h 10: errors detected on one server
  • h 11: we ask to change the disks, one by one, to realign RAID and keep our data
  • h 12: server changed, without asking
  • no reply to our enquiries, for hours
  • h 17: after a very long call, they finally admit they cannot put back the disks in place, so our data are lost (obviously we have a good backup, but they did not ask).

So: 3 work days wasted, and a day without our services. Suggestions for a better provider?

By Vânia Neves

We are pleased to announce the restructuring of Faunalia's GIS training offer:

 

  • Increased focus on user needs, based on the over 150 courses held
  • Simplification of our offer 
  • Membership in the program "QGIS friendly courses": Faunalia engages publicly to reinvest a portion of the income of each course in QGIS development
  • New analytical part, much improved on the basis of recent developments of QGIS (with GRASS/SAGA/OTB/Sextante)
  • New course on programming Python plugins for QGIS.

Do not hesitate to ask for further information.

We look forward for your participation
