Don’t Be Fodder for China’s ‘Great Cannon’

No its not a bloody free load balancer and never will be.
Last week we exhibited at Cloud Expo Europe, promoting the release of the new cloud products: ENTERPRISE AWS + ENTERPRISE AZURE .

We really enjoyed meeting some existing customers and potential new ones.
