At Advantage Technology, our best resource is our people, and we have improved our physical infrastructure to match our employees’ performance. Today, Advantage Technology has more than 50 employees, and their commitment to excellence has made our new, high-tech headquarters possible.

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.

As technology continues to grow and make our lives easier, ruthless hackers are evolving their methods to make our lives miserable, and to relieve our pockets of our hard earned cash.

Two new methods of computer terrorism have become very popular; ransomware and crypto-viruses. While they are similar, there are some differences you need to know.

Recently, Advantage Technology surveyed the law firm Kay Casto and Chaney’s Charleston office and upgraded their datacenter.

Every few years, the time comes to upgrade your IT infrastructure. This is actually a great opportunity because it usually leads to server consolidation. Server consolidation reduces the physical footprint of servers, reduces operating costs and energy costs, decreases downtime and improves reliability.

It’s that time of year again, holiday season! But this isn’t just any old year, this is the end of 2015, and that is a big deal to us here at Advantage Technology because 2015 will be that last year we are located at 814 Quarrier St.

For months, our new headquarters has been under construction at 950 Kanawha Blvd. E. Advantage Technology will take up the first three floors of the building with a new layout that will accommodate our tremendous growth.
