DMARC & Infusionsoft

July 24, 2012February 2, 2012 by Marc Chesley

I’m proud to share an update about a recent advancement to our email infrastructure.

DMARC provides a method for receivers to identify and take action against spoofing attempts, by utilizing the already widely-adopted authentication protocols of DKIM (DomainKeys Identified Mail) and SPF (Sender Policy Framework). Since this new DMARC protocol does not require any new technologies (just requires DNS record updates) it makes this a promising tool to become widely adopted by both email senders and receivers.

Build software with high quality

Solid State Drives (SSDs) and the Business Owner

December 22, 2009 by Marc Chesley

I love SSDs! Solid-State Drives or SSDs are storage devices that use solid-state memory to store data instead of spinning hard disks. The SSD is quickly replacing the older-style spinning hard disks that almost everyone has in their computers right now.

In the spirit of the Geek Week blog entries on our blog, I wanted to go all-out and share details about our recent migration to use faster hard drives in our servers. As such, this info will go in-depth and will be technical in nature. However, you don’t need to be very technical to follow along since I’ll do my best to explain it thoroughly. (Beware of a little bit of occasional all-out geeking, though. ;-))
