DataYard

DataYard We build lasting relationships with business clients to help them "make IT better". At DataYard, we start with your applications and use cases.

There's a lot that goes into successfully managing high-performance cloud servers. From there we predict traffic patterns and loads, and architect services we'll need to carry the weight. We break the design down functionally, deploy the nodes, bring everything together with network connectivity, and secure the layers of the delivery stack. And then we test, test, test. We TTHOOI ("Test The Hell Out Of It"). We use pe*******on tests to find and close security holes. Then we throw lots of traffic at the system. We actually *try* to break it. We make certain the system we built for you will work when we hand you the keys. The people who do this work well rarely get any recognition. It's the online launch failures who get the most attention. If it's alright with you... we prefer to go unnoticed.

What’s the difference between traditional antivirus and managed endpoint detection and response (mEDR)?

While traditional antivirus primarily focuses on identifying known threats through signature-based detection, mEDR goes further by continuously monitoring endpoints for suspicious activity and behaviors that could signal an attack.

Our VP of IT Operations, Mike Beagles, breaks down the difference in this DataBits video. 💻🔍

Website spike events shouldn't cost your client all year round.

When a big traffic spike is coming, most teams either size hosting for peak traffic all year and pay for capacity they rarely use, or hope the site keeps up and risk it lagging right when visitors show up.

We take a different approach. We scale the environment up to help keep everything running through the spike, then scale it back down once traffic settles, along with the bill.

Private cloud or public cloud? The honest answer is that it depends on what you're running.

The public cloud is hard to beat for scalability and variable workloads. A private cloud tends to stand out for predictable billing, control, and legacy applications that don't need to be rebuilt. And some businesses use both.

Our new blog breaks down cost, cybersecurity, performance, and scalability. It also includes a list of questions to ask before you pick a platform.

Our monthly team meeting got a little competitive last Friday!

Dave 3D-printed a fleet of “Scooterbots,” tiny walking robots powered by a single watch battery, and built a paper arena for them to escape from. Then we raced each other!

It came down to a close finish between Alex Messham and Dennis Frank, but Dennis’s bot made it out first and took the win! 🏆

Thanks to Dave for building such a fun team-bonding experience. We take our work seriously, but we have plenty of fun here at DataYard, too.

A lot of 2027 cloud budgets will start the same way: pull last year's invoices, add a percentage, and submit.

It's fast. It's also how a server spun up for a project two years ago quietly makes it onto next year's budget too.

Our new blog walks through what belongs in a cloud budget and how private, public, and hybrid costs behave differently on an invoice. It also covers which line items (backups, patching, monitoring, cybersecurity) you should think twice about cutting.

One week until The Road to 2027: Hosting Infrastructure and Cloud Cost Planning.

Infrastructure costs rarely spike overnight. They drift through idle test environments, forgotten storage, and servers sized for a peak that stopped happening years ago.

Join Natalie Mezera, our Director of Client Partnerships, for a practical 45-minute session on finding that drift, cutting waste safely, and building a more predictable 2027 budget.
