Considering the changing nature of the workplace, reliance on cloud-based services has increased dramatically. They have become fixtures in our daily lives. But it’s easy to forget that behind these resilient services is an unseen array of IT infrastructure located in data centers across the globe.
This infrastructure is never completely autonomous, requiring skilled IT professionals to perform critical maintenance duties. These professionals have become unsung heroes, ensuring the reliability of these important services. Most governments see this infrastructure as mission critical and allow IT professionals to continue their work in the data center when needed, but many still have safety concerns and desire to limit travel. Also, many businesses employ multiple, regionally located infrastructures varying in size from a large data center to a small server closets. This puts even more demand on IT staff.
