In celebration of National IT Professionals Day on September 15th, we are highlighting exceptional IT employees across Curvature and Park Place Technologies.

Michael Texter, Principal Technician specializing in server and storage at Curvature, is a L3 support technician with a wide breadth of experience and has encountered some of the most unique cases the industry has to offer. His team often escalates uncommon problems to him, and in many cases, he's the first person in the world to see them. He frequently posts on IT forums, messages industry experts, and submits bug reports to OEMs. (If you're ever browsing IT forums and run across mtexter, that's Michael!)
On top of that, Michael handles component-level diagnostics and repairs on IT hardware. He spends a lot of time looking through a microscope in our shop, troubleshooting issues down to the smallest details.
Cheers to all the great work Michael is doing!

✓ You should buy for your needs, not a vendor's quota. ​
✓ Workloads matter more than hardware components. ​
✓ The goal isn't more hardware. It's the right outcome at the right cost.​

Don't let scarcity drive panic buying or unnecessary spending.​

Do you know how your server hardware is tested?​
When buying pre-owned hardware, confidence starts with knowing it's been thoroughly vetted.​

​That's why every product we sell undergoes rigorous testing to ensure reliable performance upon deployment. If it doesn't meet our standards, it doesn't ship. Simple as that.
