    FEATURES, FEATURES AND MORE FEATURES

    Hello everybody,

    Two days left for beta and new features are already here!

    As you may have already noticed, new things have popped up on your ~okeanos Web UI. And new things are under the hood too. Let's take a quick tour:

    1. Active CPUs and RAM

    Starting today, we introduce a new, more sophisticated tracking mechanism for your CPUs and RAM that will allow you to create even more machines. How does it work?

    We now track only your active CPUs and RAM. This results in CPU and RAM usage only when your machine is running. If you shutdown ... read more

    BRAND NEW VIRTUAL HARDWARE FOR YOUR VMS (REBOOT REQUIRED)

    Brand new virtual hardware for your VMs (Reboot required)
    Hello everybody,

    Beta is closing up and new stuff is already here! Today, we upgraded the virtual hardware for your VMs in the latest and greatest version. This means that any new VMs you create will run on the new virtual hardware.

    We also know that everybody would like their old machines (which are already running with old virtual hardware) to get upgraded too. So, we've got you covered too. Just reboot your old machines from the ~okeanos Web UI and they will automatically get ugraded to the new virtual hardware. Note that rebooting ... read more

    THE ROOF IS ON FIRE

    UPDATE: Everything is operating normally. If you still encounter any problems, please let us know at support@okeanos.grnet.gr

    ---------

    Hello ~okeanos users,

    Some of you have probably noticed that your VMs were not responding for a few hours this morning. We will try to shed some light on what happened.

    This morning we experienced a failure in the cooling system of the data center housing ~okeanos. This led to physical machines hosting ~okeanos VMs shutting down automatically, to avoid permanent damage due to overheating.

    We apologize ... read more

    1 MONTH EXTENSION FOR ACADEMIC LOGIN

    Hello everybody,

    After many user and institutional requests, we are extending the Academic Login activation period for a month for all ~okeanos alpha users. That is from August 11, 2013 to September 11, 2013.

    It seems that as of today, almost every Greek Academic and Research Institution has enabled support for ~okeanos, so all alpha users should be able to enable the new Academic Login method on their Profile page.

    So, if you want to guarantee your transition to beta, please proceed with enabling Academic Login, now.

    Thank you,
    the ~okeanos team
