It’s Time to Have That Talk – How to Explain Data Protection to Your Family!
It’s interesting to realize how much money and time we spend to protect our physical assets — our homes, furniture, cars and personal belongings. But many of us don’t invest in protection for our digital assets — photos, videos, important documents, contacts, and more.

Tales from the Cryptolocker – An Almost Scary IT Story

3 Things Every Business Should Know About Backup
Many people think that backup is simply about copying data and then copying it back if needed.

In Loving Memory - Windows Server 2003
Windows Server 2003 (12) of Redmond, WA left us peacefully on July 14, 2015. As you may recall, Windows Server 2003 greeted the world on April 24, 2003. It created a lot of excitement for then IT professionals, replacing previous server versions – and adding support for 64-bit systems. Windows Server 2003 also brought up a whole generation of Windows System Administrators in a post-dotcom era. Windows Server 2003 was the main workhorse on numerous servers in both small and big data centers. Not without its drawbacks, it served millions of users reliably and faithfully. Windows Server 2003 is survived by Windows Server 2008/R2, Windows Server 2012/R2 and Windows Azure. Windows Server 2003 will continue to be in our memory for all the long nights of server rollouts and configuration bashes, Active Directory and DNS configurations, and re-configurations.
