Optimizing IT Infrastructure with Hybrid Cloud Solutions

2025-05-14T12:47:34-05:00

As digital transformation accelerates, organizations are reevaluating how they deploy and manage their IT infrastructure. The traditional on-premises model, once the gold standard, is increasingly being supplemented—or in many cases, replaced—by hybrid cloud solutions that offer greater flexibility, scalability, and cost efficiency. Hybrid cloud environments combine the control and performance of private infrastructure with the elasticity and innovation of public cloud platforms. The result? A highly adaptable architecture that supports both legacy systems and next-generation workloads. At 1623 Farnam, we’ve seen firsthand how companies benefit from this approach—and how our robust ecosystem and partners like Megaport help make hybrid strategies seamless and scalable.

3 Ways NaaS Enhances Business Operations

2023-04-07T14:46:48-05:00

Staples debuted its iconic Easy Button in 2005 as part of an ad campaign, but the fictitious product generated so much buzz that the office supplies retailer began selling them. People, it seemed, liked the idea of having an object to solve problems simply in the workplace (or even just to make you feel like the solutions came easily), absurdity notwithstanding.  The unfortunate truth is the Easy Button is a gimmick, albeit a wildly successful one. Doing business is complicated, and silver bullets are about as real as the werewolves they could purportedly kill. While you can’t make problems go away with the push of a button, there are solutions [...]

IT FOMO: The Key to Not Missing Out on Innovation

2022-02-01T16:11:49-06:00

The fear of missing out. As social beings, many of us know this feeling well. As social beings in the digital, ultra-connected age, this feeling often becomes more acute as life’s greatest moments and most exciting stories are paraded in front of our eyes constantly over social media and beyond. But what happens when a business gets a bad case of FOMO? In this day and age, when rapid innovation persists and the technologies that come from it seem to exist on a continuum that spans from ‘necessary’ to ‘disastrous if not adopted’, FOMO can be crippling. So many IT options exist, organizations can’t possibly incorporate them all. Every time [...]
