LINBIT® is opening up a new division to specifically address our community’s desire to turn the music up to 11! As you all know, LINBIT is famous for its DRBD®, Software-Defined Storage (SDS) and Disaster Recovery (DR) solutions. In a paradigm-shifting turn of events by management, LINBIT has decided to expand into the music industry. Since there is so much business potential in playing live concerts, LINBIT has transformed five of their employees into LIN:BEAT – The Band. These concerts are of course made highly-available by utilizing LINBIT’s own DRBD software.
The Band will be touring all Cloud and Linux events around the globe in 2019. Band members use self-written code to produce their unique sound design, reminiscent of drum and bass and heavily influenced by folk punk. The urge to portray all the advantages of DRBD and LINSTOR® is so strong they had to send a message to the world: Their songs tell the world about the ups and downs of administrators who handle big storage clusters. LIN:BEAT offers a variety of styles in their musical oeuvre: While “LINSTOR” is a heavy-driven rock song and “Snapshots” speaks to funk-loving people, even “Disaster Recovery,” a love ballad, made it into their repertoire. Lead singer, Phil Reisner, sings sotto voce about his lost love — a RAID rack called “SDS”. Reisner told the reporters, “Administrators are such underrated people. This is sadly unfortunate. We strive to give all administrators a voice. Even if it’s a musical one!”
Crowds will be jumping up and down in excitement when LIN:BEAT comes to town! Be there and code fair!
An Excerpt of the song “My first love is DRBD” written by Phil Reisner:
My first love is DRBD,
there has never been a fee
instead it serves proudly as open source
your replication has changed the course
It’s the crucial key for Linux’s destiny
