Both Eric and Wayne checked in on the morning meeting. Eric was confirming some changes that he was working on and reported on some of his findings. Wayne sent me a bunch of information to login and test some of the new dedicated virtual machines at Newtek. We have two of them being commissioned and configured. He stayed on the meeting while I did some initial exploration and logged in via FTP (file transfer protocol) and RDP (remote desktop protocol). Those are the two main ways of connecting into the servers. Even though these are virtual machines, we are hoping to treat them like they are physical boxes spinning on metal drives. All of these new servers are virtual or VPS (virtual private servers). It should be interesting.
