When you hear the word “uncomfortable”, what comes to mind? I’m guessing you have thoughts or feelings with some sort of negative connotation associated with the concept of being uncomfortable. I know that is exactly how I used to feel about being uncomfortable. Not anymore.

Solid State Drives (SSDs) and the Business Owner

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. ;-))
Geek Week: Tech Advancements @ Infusionsoft
This last year has been one of the best years ever for Infusionsoft technology! During 2009, we tackled many problems that have nagged us for a while and delivered better-than-expected results.
The biggest thing we did this year was to strengthen the Infusionsoft application infrastructure by deploying what we internally called the “17” release. In 17, we refactored significant areas of the underlying code to become a true “multi-tenant” architecture.
