About

Welcome to Booches.nl, a personal blog dedicated to the world of Connectivity. For me, Connectivity encompasses everything related to IT network infrastructures and the ever-evolving software and hardware that power them. You’ll find insights and experiences on various components, with a focus on industry-leading vendors like HPE Aruba, Fortinet, and more. I also share practical configuration examples that have helped me in my work, which I hope others can find useful too.

The name “Booches” comes from the local dialect of Bocholtz, the place where I grew up in the southern part of the Netherlands. Here on Booches.nl, I write about all things related to IT network infrastructures, often reflecting on my personal experiences and challenges from my work in the field.

But who am I…. I’m René Jorissen, co-owner and Solution Architect at QMonkeys B.V.. With a passion for technology and networking, I created this blog to share my knowledge and hopefully learn from others in the community.
