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.

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.

📅 Tuesday, October 20 at 2:00 PM ET, live on Zoom

“Where does our data actually live?”

It’s a simple question, but the answer isn’t always that specific.

With many cloud providers, you know the general region. With DataYard’s private cloud, you know the building: our data center in Dayton, Ohio. And you know the people behind it, our engineers who understand and support your environment.

For some organizations, knowing where their data lives is a compliance consideration. For others, it comes down to something just as important: knowing who’s accountable for keeping it available.

Cloud costs going up? There's usually a reason. ☁️📈

Changes in usage, resources, licensing, or infrastructure needs can all affect your spending. The important part is understanding why your costs changed and whether your cloud environment is still the right fit for your business.

Want to take a closer look at your cloud strategy? Join us for our upcoming webinar on Cloud & Hosting Infrastructure Cost Planning to learn what to consider as you plan for performance, reliability, and cost.

Three copies. Two storage types. One offsite.

Most IT teams know the 3-2-1 backup rule. But there’s a difference between knowing the rule and knowing your environment still follows it.

Infrastructure changes. Hardware gets replaced. New platforms get added. And over time, the separation you designed into your backup strategy can quietly disappear.

It’s worth checking:

• Are your backup copies actually on independent storage?
• Is your offsite copy truly separated from your primary environment?
• When was the last time you successfully restored from a backup?

A backup strategy shouldn’t just look good on a diagram. It should work when you need it.

Here are seven checks you can run on your own environment:

Next up in Data Bits: What makes DataYard different?

There are a million hosting options out there. What we hear from clients is that the difference shows up when something breaks.

When you call us, you reach someone who already knows your environment. It's the same team every time, not a new account manager every quarter.

If you're tired of unresponsive vendors and getting passed around, we'd love to have a conversation: https://zurl.co/aKjuI

Many cyberattacks start with just one compromised device.

A stolen credential. A legitimate tool running where it shouldn't. An employee clicking a convincing phishing email.

Traditional antivirus catches what it recognizes. Managed EDR goes further by continuously monitoring behavior across your laptops, desktops, and servers. When something looks suspicious, a real security analyst investigates it, not just another alert waiting in a queue.

New customers get their first month free.
