By now you’ve heard about the cloud and all that it can do for businesses, but not all cloud providers can claim equal levels of availability and overall quality as others. Therefore, one of the most critical considerations you have to make when rolling out a cloud service regards who will be managing your company’s cloud computing platform.

As part of our ongoing community involvement initiative, Techworks Gives Back, we will be participating in the Voorheesvile Family Bicycle Day!

It's a bicycle block party! Voorheesville Family Bicycle Day is a fun-filled day for the whole family focused on safe bicycle riding in our community. Food, live music, bmx demonstrations, bicycle safety course, fire trucks, and vendors. All on a closed bicycle course!

Techworks is excited to be sponsoring and exhibiting at this event. Our CFO and Co-Founder, Keith Newell, is on the planning committee and will be running the BMX activities!  For those who don't know, Keith actively competes racing BMX bicycles! This is a great opportunity to get involved in the community and we are very much looking forward to it. If you are in the area, we hope you will come on by!

VFBD's Mission: to actively promote a safe bicycling environment in the Village of Vorheesville; increase driver-bicyclist awareness and cooperation; deliver a free, healthy and eco-friendly event; and to support the Village of V'ville's downtown development efforts.

For the average PC, most of its noise comes from its fans. Computers are typically built with cooling fans that are meant to operate at acceptable noise levels. Although, as machines age, they tend to require more work out of the installed fans in order to keep the components cool, which may explain why your old machine is much louder today than when you first got it.

The Internet of Things is all around us, in our homes, our offices, and even our cars. While this connectivity can provide a more unified and automated approach to daily tasks, it has the downside of enabling certain security threats to go unfettered. A prime example are the IoT-driven botnets that seem to be increasing in popularity.

While many may consider an audit of any kind to be a pain in the neck or worse, they can actually be an effective way to ensure that businesses are following best practices and remaining compliant. After all, nobody wants to be the company that failed an audit. Despite this, many companies aren’t up to standard where their IT is concerned, and it has an impact.
