Amidst the chaos of the COVID-19 pandemic, many have lost their jobs, as bars, restaurants, and several small businesses have been forced to shut their doors for now if not for good. Luckily, some of us are fortunate enough to have jobs that allow us the privilege of working from home. However, this is only possible thanks to the data centers we have throughout the country that provide the connectivity we need to stay up and running.
Right now, facility managers are tasked with maintaining maximum uptime and high availability. Though this may seem like a typical day in the data center, it’s not. With businesses all over the country switching to virtual offices at the snap of a finger and families isolating themselves in their homes with nothing to do except watch Netflix and play internet games, our networks are stressed.
