Have you ever been in mobile prison? That point where you’ve got a mobile phone or tablet but can’t go into a certain office or leave the hallways because you’ll instantly lose your WiFi connection. Or maybe your WiFi reception will just degrade to the point where everything takes forever to download?

Well, the good news is that here at Advantage Technology we have a simple solution for getting out of mobile prison: Install multiple Aruba Access Points.

On Tuesday, July 12, I was invited to appear on 580 WCHS’s Ask the Expert show to talk to their audience about IT and introduce them to Advantage Technology. I wanted to take the opportunity to help the listeners better communicate with IT technicians and give a few tips on how to get tech support fast.

Friday night, May 20^th, the Advantage Technology data center was shut down for the big move to the new location at 950 Kanawha Blvd E. We have a lot of companies that rely on the Advantage Technology data center, so the move had to go perfectly. We scheduled downtime with our customers from 8 pm to 8 am Saturday morning, giving us a 12-hour window to get it done!

We couldn’t have picked a worse night; it was cold and pouring rain. But it had to get done.

Well, we’ve been telling you about it for a while now — and showed some progress back in October and December — but moving time is very close at hand. By the end of May, we will be moved into our new building at 950 Kanawha Blvd E, and we couldn’t be more excited!

UPDATE 4-11-2016: Petya has been cracked, but recovery is technical. If you have been infected give us a call and we'll help you recover your system.
