New RSP logo (and 2.2 teaser)
I’ve just put the finishing touches on a new “logo” for RSP. I decided to put it together after noticing that small, rectangular logos are the rage for a lot of tech companies (something that’s easy to recognize, easy to add to a blog, etc). Be sure to let me know what you think.
Thought I’d post a quick teaser about the new version of RSP (version 2.2, if you’re keeping track). First, there’s going to be a big focus on hardware management. We’ve been especially interested in tying performance data to the underlying system resources of a computer system. This should prove especially useful for capacity planning and figuring out what needs to be upgraded (i.e. a web server with 2 gigs of RAM that’s heavily used might better benefit with another 2 gigs of RAM, rather than upgrading a backend database that’s still chugging along on an older CPU).
Second, we’ve done a number of cosmetic improvements to the interface. We’re big fans of the new Web 2.0 visualization technologies (such as tying AJAX with slick UI effects), and we’ve spent a lot of time trying to make the interface as easy to understand and use as possible.
We’re looking to release the new version of RSP early next week, so be sure to keep your eyes peeled. More details be out then (and in the meantime, you can let me know what you think about the logo).
