Business Continuity: What Does it Mean for your Organization?

Imagine this: It’s 1PM on a summer Saturday, and you get a phone call from Chuck E. Cheese. They’ve had a small electrical fire. No one is hurt, but they have to close for the rest of the day. This is a problem for you, because at 2PM, you are hosting 15 rambunctious 7-year-olds for your kid’s …

Flexibility vs Cost: The Pros and Cons

Good, cheap and fast: Pick two. This pithy quote encapsulates everything we need to know about the fundamental trade-offs facing cloud provisioning. Everything, of course, except how to decide. The fundamental promise of the cloud is that you have the room to grow (or shrink) your resources as …

Happy Birthday Atlantic Metro!

Ten years ago today, my partner, Stephen Klenert, and I set out on our mission to shape our new business into a major, nation-wide provider of Managed IT Infrastructure Services. At the time, I was not certain where this path would lead us and how much we would grow. I merely wanted to act on my …

The Escalating Threat of DDoS Attacks

The most common type of aviation accident is a bird strike. Because of this, most airplanes can handle a bird strike without much, if any, damage.

Geo-Redundancy: Not as Simple as You Think

It seems like every week or so there’s a report of a major data center outage. Major events like Hurricane Sandy remain an important lesson. Even things like the Amazon Web Services outage earlier this year remind us that merely trusting in the biggest providers is not enough to assure uptime in the …

Why Enterprises are Looking to Shrink their Data Center Footprints

The recent trend in cell phones notwithstanding, smaller is usually better when it comes to tech. Smaller tends to be cheaper, faster, and more efficient, at least when it’s engineered right. And that’s the calculus businesses are doing when they look to shrink their data center footprints. Even …

The Role of Colocation in the Cloud Era

“The Cloud,” also known as “Other People’s Computers” seems to put a stake in the heart of the idea of colocation, where instead of renting both the hardware and the space, you only rent the space and you supply your own hardware. But it doesn’t. It’s like saying, “Why rent a house when you could …

Is Your Encryption Up To Today’s Security Challenges?

A recent Data Center Trends survey indicated that 70% of companies felt that ‘Security’ was one of their top challenges in 2017. And of course that isn’t news to anyone. 2016 was the year of ransomware, of increased man-in-the-middle attacks, and more massive data breaches than the whole rest of …
