Branden Rasmussen and Cole Hardy, members of the Dakota Carrier Network information systems team, recently trained in the Proxmox Server Solutions virtual environment (VE).
Both completed coursework in VE Deployment and Management and VE Clustering and Shared Storage, strengthening DCN’s ability to increase productivity and reduce operating costs.
In the Deployment and Management training, Rasmussen and Hardy learned how to install Proxmox VE, configure virtual machines and containers, and manage virtual environments. The course equips them to build stable, secure, and scalable infrastructure to support DCN’s internal and customer‑facing systems.
The Clustering and Shared Storage training focused on linking multiple Proxmox servers so they operate as a single, resilient system. This expertise allows DCN to deliver strong uptime, streamline management, and provide stronger protection against hardware failures.
Rasmussen has been with DCN since 2021 and is cloud services specialist, working with all aspects of DCN’s cloud services infrastructure. Hardy joined DCN in August 2025 as systems administrator, supporting the technical needs of the DCN team. Both are based in Bismarck.
