Good Provisioning is Good Business
Hi, I’m Brian Loomis, ServInt’s New Director of Provisioning and all-around nice guy — and my team and I are the foundation of the company.
No, seriously.
See, as Director of Provisioning, I lead a team of brilliant men and women who are responsible for managing, maintaining, and yes, provisioning, all of ServInt’s servers, data centers, and the facilities that house them. Whether it involves choosing the location of a new data center or retrofitting our infrastructure to reduce our carbon footprint, it’s my department that makes it happen.
I started at ServInt as a member of the Managed Services Team in 1998, was promoted to management a few years later, and eventually moved into our Engineering Department before being tapped to head Provisioning. As a result, I’ve been intimately involved in nearly every technical facet of this company. That experience has given me — and by extension my team — tack-sharp focus on our role within the company.
So, now that you have a general, sky-high view of what it is me and my team do day-to-day, what does “provisioning” actually entail? Read on to find out!
Green Retrofitting: Corporate Responsibility That Makes Sense
Challenges Are Catalysts for Innovation
Yesterday, I wrote about a new direction for ServInt’s social media outreach. Basically, I explained that a lot of companies, ServInt included, spend too much time talking about themselves and not enough time talking about their customers. I made a new rule saying that we’d talk more about you .
So, naturally, I’m going to kick that off by talking about us .
Earth Week 2010 is coming to a close and as such I thought it appropriate to reflect on a few of our specific accomplishments in green technology. In our more than 15 year history, we’ve been relatively silent trailblazers. We are pioneers in dedicated and VPS hosting and we were one of the first hosts to actively work on improving inefficient and environmentally troubling urban infrastructure. With that being said, there are some unique challenges that we face precisely because of our status as trailblazers.
