The CK Daily – Another Trip Around the Sun
Good Morning & Happy Tuesday! Hope everyone is having a fantastic week so far! I’m coming to you a little older and (hopefully) a little wiser as my birthday was over the weekend! I’ve definitely reached that point in life where birthdays are far less exciting and even serve as stark reminders of how fast time goes by. They don’t elicit quite the same feeling of a “fresh start” as New Year’s does, but they’re still a great time to reflect on the previous year and maybe even set goals for the next.
As I look back on my last trip around the sun, I find myself with something of a mixed bag of emotions. It was an emotional roller coaster of a year with some serious “lows,” but it was also a year of many blessings and immense personal growth. I’ve learned a lot about myself, human nature, and what’s truly important in life over the past year. At CK one of our core values is, “make it about relationship”. I love that because, as I’ve learned more so than ever, life is truly about relationships. One of the things I’m most thankful for is the deep, lifelong friendships that I’ve been blessed with. Can’t imagine walking through the past year without them!
In this next year of life, I hope to continue down the path of personal growth and cultivating relationships, while also taking a bit better care of myself physically and getting back to chasing some personal goals!

Learning Center Article – Why Are Redundant Power Supplies Important
When you have to maintain a network, power is important. Obviously, every device needs a source of power, but when you get into more complicated networks where downtime can be extremely expensive and infrastructure costs also run high, power becomes a central part of your planning and strategy.
You’ll think about where to run power lines, how much power is needed in each segment of the network, and a whole lot more. Among those concerns is redundancy. How do you keep your network online if a piece of equipment loses power? One answer is with a redundant power supply.
