Renewable Energy Resource Projects in Western Australia
30th October 2020
We look into current renewable energy projects around Western Australia. Until recently, WA has lagged behind the other states when it comes to renewable energy. Our state Government have been running project programs to promote improvement in this area.
These projects, along with completed projects over the last couple of years, means that Western Australia hit a very admirable milestone with renewable resources. At 11:30am on November 30, 2019, 51% of total system demand was supplied by variable renewable energy. Another notable point was that on Sunday, October 13th 2019, the lowest operational demand ever recorded was 1159MW for the state grid. This was due to a combination of renewable energy supplies being pushed back into the grid, along with lower demand for that day.

Virtual Machines vs Physical Machines
12th October 2020
Is it worth the switch? We explore what is a virtual machine / virtual desktop and compare it to the traditional physical hardware.
Businesses have been migrating servers to virtual machines for some time. This allows for a more efficient use of the server hardware, reducing overall operational costs by having less hardware in total, consuming less power and occupying less physical room.
VMs allow for reduced overhead, with multiple systems operating from the same console at the same time. VMs also provide a safety net for your data, as they can be used to enable rapid disaster recovery. They can also be useful for development and testing, as you can replicate the current state of machines, and quickly provision new machines.
