On April 20, 2023, Elon Musk launched the most powerful rocket ever built called the Starship. 4 minutes into the launch it experienced a "rapid unscheduled disassembly," according to SpaceX. In other words, it blew up. We had a launch of our own on April 30, 2023. We launched a major piece of infrastructure in The Vault called THE PIPELINE and observed how it was able to handle the full load of Sunday traffic. In similar fashion, what began well ended in a "rapid unscheduled disassembly." This VLOG examines some lessons learned from this initial launch attempt. The Lord is looking for fruit in our lives. And the most important fruit is not a successful launch, but a right response.Help us FILL THE RACKS:web.sermonaudio.com/sermons/9422123121966Learn about The Vault:www.sermonaudio.com/vault

The Computer Science Department at Bob Jones University hosted the inaugural lecture of the SermonAudio Technology Lecture Series on April 18 at 7 pm.--The SermonAudio Technology Lecture Series features informative and educational presentations focusing on the latest advancements and trends in technology utilized by the SermonAudio platform.--For this inaugural lecture, we have invited Brantley Coile, inventor and pioneer in the computing industry, to speak on the topic -Three Godly Men That Changed Computer History.- Among his accomplishments, Brantley holds the fundamental patent on the Network Address Translation -NAT- protocol. He also invented the first firewall and load balancer for CISCO.

Brantley Coile stumbled upon programing in the 70s when he enrolled in an elective Statistics and FORTRAN course as an undergrad at University of Georgia.

His first program was written on punch cards, and once it ran there was no looking back: programming became his life's passion.

After cutting his teeth in the tech industry as a systems developer, he invented Network Address Translation and created the PIX Firewall technologies that were acquired by Cisco Systems in 1995.

He went on to invent the ATA-over-Ethernet Protocol in 2002, a lightweight method of network storage. It was this invention that led to his founding Coraid, Inc., for which he served as CTO until 2013.

In 2014 he founded SouthSuite, Inc., a software-only storage company working to advance AoE for implementation in the modern data center with all its cloud storage needs. SouthSuite will continue to advance AoE technology using its Coraid-branded storage software appliance.

For this VLOG, we put some focus on our fantastic interns from the Bob Jones University Computer Science Department- --Part of our strategy with The Vault is to be in proximity to talented young developers that can benefit from the experience of working with our seasoned developers while enjoying the satisfaction of using their technical skills for the kingdom. --What I didn't get to mention in the video is that the RESULT of such an effort was that the fear of God fell upon the surrounding kingdoms. I find that fascinating because the teaching was directed to the cities of Judah. I take that to mean that when the whole counsel of God's Word is faithfully declared to God's own people, the effects will be felt on even the surrounding heathen lands. Over the centuries, as the -book of the law of the Lord- has gone into darkened nations, they have consistently been transformed. This is our prayer as we continue to broadcast faithful preaching all around the world -- that God's Word will not return void.--SermonAudio and Bob Jones University are cooperating in a mutually beneficial relationship to advance God's kingdom and to inspire the next generation.--Bob Jones University--www.bju.edu--Computer Science Department--cs.bju.edu--Learn about The Vault--www.sermonaudio.com-vault

For this VLOG, we put some focus on our fantastic interns from the Bob Jones University Computer Science Department! Part of our strategy with The Vault is to be in proximity to talented young developers that can benefit from the experience of working with our seasoned developers while enjoying the satisfaction of using their technical skills for the kingdom. What I didn't get to mention in the video is that the RESULT of such an effort was that the fear of God fell upon the surrounding kingdoms.

We have finally reached our goal of a PETABYTE of raw storage as we continue to build out the hardware of The Vault infrastructure.One petabyte translates into one thousand terabytes. This will be enough storage to hold the 2M+ audio and video sermons found on our site while allowing for years of future growth. For every audio sermon, we create 3 separate files (high quality, low quality, and archive quality). For every video sermon, we create 3 separate files (1080p quality, 720p quality, 360p quality). In addition, every video has an MP3 automatically generated from it, with the corresponding 3 files. Sermons take up a lot of space and laying the foundation for dependable, scalable storage is key.Through the sacrificial generosity of our wonderful family, friends, and supporters, we have been able to finalize the purchase of all hard drives and storage arrays needed to reach one petabyte of raw storage. However, we still have some ways to go in order to get everything set up just right. It's a complicated business and we covet your support and prayers.Help us FILL THE RACKS:www.sermonaudio.com/vault
