It's hard to believe another year has passed and we're about to begin a new one.

2011 was a busy year for Smallbox with a number of projects keeping our team on its toes throughout the year. Did we mention that we have updated our content management framework to work with a virtual private cloud hosting environment?

We know cloud computing is very au courant (see below for more information on cloud computing) but our new hosting environment gives us flexibility in managing server loads and adds capacity to our network. We're excited about what's in the hopper for 2012. Give us a call if you want to know what's going on.

We wanted to offer our traditional review of the year, but since so much has happened in 2011 it's hard to decide on what to cover so we've picked five events or trends that we believe represent this year in Tech. Those stories follow below along with some information on our holiday hours of operation.

Happy Holidays and all the best in 2012 from the Smallbox team.
