Dave Brown is the Head of DevOps and Security here at Datactics. In this role he is more than familiar with all that is going in within the company internally regarding both security requirements and needs. He is used to solving technical issues throughout the company and is extremely aware of the company’s technical needs. As an experienced IT professional, Dave has a lot to say about both DevOps operations and navigating technological issues both internally and externally.
He has started a series called ‘DaveOps’ which has most notably been used for exploring ‘Working from Home’ and from Dave’s perspective how that has impacted his team, the DevOps operations and the wider team at large. We look forward to more Dave content as he continues to provide insight, perspective and shed light on all plan’s operations, security and DevOps related.

I’m finally getting around to doing another blog and here we are, just past the end of week 18 and midway through week 19 since the start of lockdown and the “new normal” can you believe it? In some ways, it seems so long ago since those early days in March but in others, it …
DaveOps is back again after a 3-week break to give a quick round-up on what’s been going on at Datactics through weeks 11-13. We continue to plan for a return to the office getting things ready and in my team, we are taking the opportunity to do some tidy up on the network and cabling. …
Well, here we are at the end of week #10! Can you believe it? 10 weeks since all this (madness) started. There has been a lot of adjusting, new learning, new ways of working and now as the talk starts of a return to normal you have to wonder how much will simply go back …
So, what have we been up to? Well, I am happy to report that things have continued to go well with only a few hiccups. I have been continuing to play around with Powershell/Jumpcloud to interrogate our JumpCloud LDAP, learning about Commvault’s new features and putting out fires including a couple of server outages. Needless …
It didn’t work. Why? Wait, it did work. Why? Another week in working from home, another week of highs, lows and everything in between. How have you all fared? Its had to believe that we have today entered a new month, April even in lockdown seemed to fly by. I wonder what May will bring? …

Week #5. Can you believe it? In some ways it seems much longer and yet in others it feels like the 5 weeks have flown by. As I have alluded to in these updates, things have still been moving at a hectic pace here, so perhaps being busy is the key to making the time …
Did the public holidays catch anyone else by surprise either last week or this? I have to admit to that I am afraid and I also admit to the prospect of 2 days off not being met with joy due to the lockdown. Anyway, they have been and gone and here we are now at …
We have had a big week here in Datactics as we welcomed not 1 but 3 new members of staff working from home (WFH) with all the fun that has brought, making sure everything was set up on time and that the remote welcome was just as warm as if we were together in the …
Like most, here at Datactics, we are just finishing up our first full week of ‘Working from home’. In line with government advice, we made the decision to close our office in Belfast and to port the entire workforce over to working from home last weekend. As the guy in charge of making sure everything …
