“Inside our campus network room, routers and switches allow our data centers to talk to each other. The fiber optic networks connecting our sites can run at speeds that are more than 200,000 times faster than a typical home Internet connection. The fiber cables run along the yellow cable trays near the ceiling.”

Rekorderlig winter forest bar


East London's Truman Brewery is transformed into an enchanting Swedish woodland.

by Cajsa Carlson


"Surrounded by pine and birch trees taken from a private estate, guests enjoy cocktails such as Svensk Mojito (Swedish Mojito,) Warm Äppelpaj (Hot Apple Pie) and Winter Collins. Food comes from Scandinavian chefs Norse by Norsewest—of Disappearing Dining Club fame—in small taster portions, with Swedish classics such as herring and meatballs conjuring thoughts of long northern nights."

Rekorderlig's Winter Forest is open through 6 November 2012 at East London's Truman Brewery.
