DevOps for Systems Engineers is critical, but still often misunderstood and confusing. How do I get started? Are my customers really seeing the need to incorporate these skills? We will do our best to demystify things in this session.

Episode 1 - DevOps for Infrastructure: Making it Real with Mike Younkers

Owning a small or medium business brings with it many unique challenges – from choosing which manufacturer to go with for your technology needs all the way to how to continue to grow and scale your business.

To sift through these challenges, and how he has successfully navigated them, today I am joined by Scott Kauffman, President of HighNoon, a full-service marketing agency located in Phoenix, AZ. Scott shares his perspective on business, technology and even provides a marketing tip for our listeners.

Tech Stories - ep01 - The power of that thing in your pocket

In the first peak in the Covid outbreak, a hospital uses wireless handheld phones to communicate between nurses and doctors but suddenly calls drop and have terrible quality.

Now, Cisco's A-team has to resolve the problem remotely and without talking to the end users !
