Bring On The New Year

The start to a new year is a good time to review your PC. Last weekend I pulled out my desktop PC and performed the following:

Event Schedule For 2017

In 2017, our goal is to get out there where our customers are to learn more about them, learn more about their workflow, and find out what more we can do to optimize our systems and experience to those exact needs. That is why we are working with many user groups this year and have a big tradeshow calendar lined up. Are there any events that we should attend that aren’t on this list? Let us know!

Reducing Distractions

A few years ago, the owner of Puget Systems told me about a product that had helped him focus on his work.

Visiting Supercomputing 2016

I made the trek to Salt Lake City to attend the Supercomputing conference. I’ve attended conferences both large and small going back 20 years, but nothing could prepare me for what I saw at Supercomputing. If you’re not familiar with Supercomputing, it’s an annual conference where scientists, researchers, and engineers gather to discuss high-performance computing, network storage and related technologies.
