Keeping up with the whirlwind pace of the technology industry is difficult, to say the least. To help you spot the big trends in IT and cloud computing for 2016 and keep up with data security needs, we've put together a list of what we expect to see this year.

The Kelser Foundation set a new fundraising record by raising $24,800 for the American Lung Association of the Northeast through the foundation’s 2015 Charity Challenge. The annual event was held at the Indian Hill Country Club in Newington, CT. The club graciously welcomed the entire Kelser family including employees, partners, customers and friends to what has become a much anticipated outing.

All kidding aside, you may or may not be aware of a pending change in how secure sites (think SSL/TLS) are secured. This is the SHA-1 to SHA-2 transition. It’s actually been in the works for a while, and primarily involves upgrading the certificate(s) on your public-facing websites, with more secure certificates. So what is SHA-1 or SHA-2 and why do we need to change?

Network automation is right up there with automated server provisioning, to accelerate the development and advancement of applications and services. A common example, might be: “There’s a problem in production and I need to clone my production environment to a bubble test environment for rapid testing and resolution.”

iPads, tablets, and other ‘smart’ devices are well known as popular entertainment mechanisms. But considering how distracting these devices can be, should your company allow and encourage their use?

It happens all the time – for all the right reasons, one of our customers is interested in VDI until they see the price. Sticker-shock doesn’t begin to describe the experience one goes through, when looking into traditional VDI for the first time.
