The CK Daily – Honor Our Commitments
Happy Friday, folks! I will continue our series covering the CablesAndKits core values, and the next one is Honor Our Commitments. Our definition is: When we say we will do something, we will make every effort to follow through on those promises. This builds trust internally with our employees and externally with our customers, vendors, and partners.
I’m going to focus this on you, our customers. The TLDR is honoring our commitments to you and builds trust. Plus, it’s the right thing to do.
We know IT projects take a lot of work to complete. There are a lot of moving pieces, from getting the products on site to scheduling people to complete the job, testing, going live, and so on. While we can’t control all the pieces, the one thing we can control is getting the product to you.
Sometimes you have a tech onsite for a few days to complete a project. If the equipment or cabling arrives late, it can be expensive to send someone back to finish the job, not to mention the delays that occur because the server or network isn’t operational.
Getting products when YOU need them is critical. This is why we offer flexibility to get those products to you, from fast shipping options to Curbside Pickup. To help meet even tighter deadlines, we recently started offering same-day delivery in the Atlanta area. Need it fast…give us a call. 🏎️
I was told by a mentor 20 years ago that it takes about 10 ” atta boys” to make up for 1 “oh man.” This is even more true today, where there are more options to choose from. One late order erodes trust, which takes a long time to recover.
I’d love to hear your stories where someone moved a mountain to keep a commitment!
Have a great weekend!
Chris

Blade servers are specifically designed to pack a lot of power in a small space. Blade servers can be used as dedicated server or added to a virtual environment. The user is able to condense their server footprint and easily manage multiple servers from one point. Since they are smaller in nature, they have a better overall power consumption. The BL460c G7 is equipped with two small form factor (SFF) hot-plug drive bays, SD card slot, two (2) mezzanine I/O expansion slots, and twelve memory slots. The BL460c G7 blade sever has a maximum memory of 384GB of ram.

Fiber optic cables drive modern communication. They are the only viable means for arranging the ultra-high-speed systems that run the backbones of digital communication. Long-range internet connectivity is dominated by fiber optic cables. Perhaps more importantly, the massive data processing that goes on at data centers does the majority of the workload for internet communications and digital information handling.
