The CK Daily – Team Time!
Happy Monday!
There’s a saying that my mother-in-law (a Georgia native) always says when she spots blackberries blooming along the roadside. Essentially it goes – when the blackberries are in bloom, freezing temperatures are over, so it’s time to start the garden. Well, the blackberries are indeed in bloom and it does seem to be getting warmer.
We got to enjoy some of this nice weather on Friday at Coolray Field watching our local Gwinnett Stripers (the Braves-affiliated minor league team). If you happened to notice, we cut off our late shipping on Friday so that our team members that wanted to, could come to the game. CablesAndKits went all out and booked a couple of suites, and it was fun times!
I actually didn’t end up watching most of the game as I spent a bunch of time talking to folks; our families were there, and kids were running around as well. I didn’t really appreciate these types of social events until they were gone. It’s funny how we take little things like that for granted. I’m an introvert by nature, so these social events in small doses are quite nice. For those who work remotely, do your companies have outings and in-person events? Even getting together for a lunch makes a world of difference. Have a great week!

Learning Center Article – How to Calculate Power Consumption for your Server Room
When it comes to maintaining a server room, there are many balls to juggle. You have to constantly expand the capacity and throughput of the server systems. Demands only ever rise. At the same time, the space inside the room seems to perpetually shrink. Then, the ambient temperature rises, and you draw more and more power.
