It’s a tense time in the business world right now. Layoffs in Big Tech and bank failures have people spooked. It’s like a scene in a horror movie where everyone is looking around anxiously waiting to see where danger will come from next. Still, cutting through the fear and seeing these phases of uncertainty as opportunities is key to remaining protected from the chaos. After all, it’s in this kind of environment that businesses should turn attention inward to see what vulnerabilities they may have and how they can shore themselves up for whatever lies ahead. The answer for many is in the cloud. It’s an exciting space right now, [...]

Three Industries Where the Cloud Made Operations More Agile

Rachel Kerstetter2023-04-10T19:51:44-05:00

We’ve all heard of the proverbial Jack being nimble and quick – and if Jack were one of today’s IT decision-makers, it’s clear that his tool of choice to jump over the candlestick (achieve digital transformation goals) would be the cloud. In today’s business climate, agility means being able to rise above challenges, meet the needs of your customers, and easily pivot when the time comes. Remember when the global pandemic shut the world down in March 2020? Many businesses survived because they were able to shift with the sudden dramatic change in how people did business. Restaurants opened up dining areas on makeshift patios and closed roads. Grocery stores [...]

Getting the Most IT Bang for Your Buck: Averting Bottom Line Fears

Danielle Jaccheo2023-03-31T09:53:21-05:00

Everyone — businesses and individuals alike — are extra protective over their wallets these days. Between bank collapses, recession fears and other alarming events, it’s no surprise that people want to keep their money close. In fact, many industry resources are telling us that capital challenges and margin pressures are a leading force of change in business strategy. Still, in a fast-moving world of business evolution, the outflow of money becomes just as important as the inflow — and that puts enterprises in an interesting position. Balancing expenditure on worthy causes that offer better agility, reliability or connectivity with conservative budgeting measures is now paramount, and that means that organizations [...]

Why are Data Centers Becoming Cloud Nexus Points?

In “Back to the Future II,” protagonist Marty McFly finds his future self and family living in a fanciful home where his son asks the kitchen to bring him fruit and future Marty connects with his boss on a video call in the year 2015. The prognosticators behind the film didn’t get everything right (future Marty still gets faxes, after all), but many of the elements imagined when the movie was written over three decades ago have come to fruition. The smart home and appliances or communications and video gaming devices depicted in the past’s most idealized dreams for the future aren’t a far cry from many of the things [...]

Shifting Cloud and Connectivity Conversations for 2023: What to Know

admin_farnamdev2022-12-06T14:42:36-06:00

Once again, we’ve come to the most wonderful time of the year. Yes, it’s time for holiday shopping, family visits, and general cheer — but on the business side, it’s the time when all organizations look forward and start planning for the new year. With every new fiscal year comes new IT goals, new operational aspirations, and new applications and technologies to incorporate. Of course, success across these areas means knowing just how to pivot to meet (or even exceed) new customer desires and more advanced corporate benchmarks. On the horizon for the upcoming year, we see the Metaverse, AI, XR, 5G (and 6G) as leaders that will guide how [...]

A 6G Crash Course: What’s Headed Our Way?

admin_farnamdev2022-11-22T09:46:43-06:00

5G is certainly having its heyday, and the entire IT ecosystem is still in the midst of 5G densification, use case development, and full-on rollout. It’s no surprise that 5G would garner so much press — as with every new generation cellular technology, it brings a lot of value, innovation, and enhanced capabilities to businesses and users of all kinds. In fact, the influence of 5G is so extensive that by 2030, the economic impact of 5G is expected to reach $227 billion — in the manufacturing industry alone. Take into consideration the huge implications this technology will have on mobile communications, healthcare, government, entertainment, and more, and it’s clear [...]

There’s a lot of ground to cover in order to make data centers sustainable. This power-intensive industry deals with mission-critical, increasingly dense, and power-hungry deployments and applications — but impacts on the environment must be reduced. Collectively, the world of critical infrastructure is always looking to make these two realities reconcilable. However, in order for progress to be made, each and every data center provider must take on personal responsibility to make its data center environment as green as possible. So, let’s talk about how 1623 is taking responsibility for the progression of sustainable IT right here in the Omaha, Nebraska metro. Giving Green the Cool Factor Every data center [...]

Making the Cloud Work for You: Customized Connections for All

admin_farnamdev2022-10-14T12:53:41-05:00

These days, everyone wants everything to be customized to their preferences. We want to choose what we do and don’t put on our burgers, we want to make the background on our phone representative of what we love, and we want to curate our social media feeds to show us what’s most interesting to us. Doesn’t it make sense then that, when it comes to IT (arguably the most crucial facet of today’s global business), we’d want it to be fully tailored too? Users want things to be customized to their unique specifications, and certainly, as specifications across digital business and platforms become more nuanced and individualized, it’s vital that [...]
