Alvaka Networks is growing – T minus 2 days

Irvine, CA – The movers finished delivering all our personal property from the old building. I got my basic office functions set-up tonight and my most important personal items put away. There are still some boxes to unpack and pictures to hang. Some others have done the same. Some offices are still dumping zones and in complete disarray. Most of that will get organized for tomorrow. There is the most basic semblance of an office system starting to come together. By tomorrow night is should be vastly better. We still plan to be completely operational at 7 AM Tuesday morning, but the unpacking won’t be complete.

Irvine, CA – The move-in process is going well. It sure is nice being the largest tenant in the building. We get the signage.

The movers are moving the furniture it late into the night. They are busting their butts. The same for the Alvaka engineers. They have all the technology moved over and the cut-over was successful. Last night was Roger’s birthday and Teresa took time out for us all to surprise him with a cake.

Alvaka Networks is growing and moving into new Irvine offices – T minus 4 days

Irvine, CA – We are almost completely packed up. The old offices are decimated. Some don’t have a place to work right now. At 2 PM we shut down completely, except for the 24x7 NOC. That team has a whole special plan of their own. That cut-over will only take about five minutes.

The movers are here getting ready to load the truck. There are furious last minute finishing touches going on at the new office. By tomorrow all of our assets should be delivered. We then have the arduous task of unpacking and getting ready to be in full production on Tuesday at 7 AM.

When I was there last night there was a cleaning crew cleaning up after the construction crews were gone.

Alvaka Networks is growing and moving into new Irvine offices – T minus 5 days

Irvine, CA – We are now packing furiously. I must say I am a little sad to be moving from the old office. I really liked it here, but the new place will feel like home in no time. Everyone is excited to be in the new larger quarters. We had our little eateries down the street from the old office. The new place has even more new options for us. Plus we get a farmers market on Thursday to buy fresh produce from the local growers that made Orange County so famous.

Alvaka Networks is growing and moving into new Irvine offices – T minus 6 days

Irvine, CA – Construction is going fast. The flooring is already going in. We are located just adjacent to the 405 Freeway between the MacArthur Blvd. and Bristol Street exits. You can see the building as you drive by, but regretfully we don’t have freeway signage. We are one mile west on Main Street from our colocation facility.

Flying out of John Wayne Airport will be easy for us. We only need to walk about 100 yards to the long-term parking and jump on the shuttle to the airport.

Alvaka Networks is growing and moving into larger new Irvine offices

Irvine, CA - We are not going too far. We are only moving about two miles. We are now adjacent to the overflow/long-term parking for the John Wayne/SNA Airport. We are at the corner of Main Street and Redhill at 2 Executive Circle in Irvine.

Everyone at Alvaka is really excited to be moving into our new larger headquarters. Here are a few pictures of the new space after demolition and before the new construction starts. These photos show some of the painting that just started.

Beware of this new domain name and SEO registration scam

Orange County, CA - I want to thank Alvaka network engineer Alex Estevez for bringing the e-mail below to my attention. One of his clients got this bogus message from GoDaddy. The scams on the internet know no ends for creativity and treachery.

This message looks so authentic and it can be so easy to go ahead and pay for a scam renewal and give up your domain login credentials too. Once you give up those credentials the thief(s) can potentially sell your domain name. For many businesses that would be devastating even if it only lasted a short time while the theft gets corrected. On top of the charge on your card they could potentially sell your credit card information as well.

Alex said, “What made me suspicious was the fact that the email came from a company called “Intranetregistrarnetwork.com” which just sounded bogus to me.“ That site is now shutdown, but count on another one to pop-up soon.

Here is what the e-mail looked like. As you can see it looks quite legitimate. It does not contain the spelling errors and poor grammar associated with so many e-mail scams....
