Windows Azure gets stronger and more reliable through lesson learned

On November 18, 2014 there was a "glitch in the Matrix" and the fact that Microsoft has taken responsibility for the problem can either make you a believer in Cloud Computing or a naysayer.  We at RyanTech choose "BELIEVER" for many reasons.


  • The Cloud platforms are all still built with human hands so we have to understand that sometimes mistakes will be made.
  • When a mistake is made, we learn and grow from the event.
  • The Cloud platforms have still proven better up-time, faster resilience and flexibility as well as better and easier to administration systems than on-premises infrastructure.
  • The Cloud platforms come at a significantly low cost to deploy with a very high level of performance and reliability.
If you're interested in learning what specifically happened as well as the steps that Microsoft is putting in place to reduce the potential of this happening again in the future please feel free to read here: https://www.linkedin.com/groups/Azure-Outage-Root-Cause-61513.S.5953930590288957444?view=&item=5953930590288957444&type=member&gid=61513&trk=eml-b2_anet_digest_weekly-hero-12-grouppost-0&midToken=AQFg-xqElql4pA&fromEmail=fromEmail&ut=3qjN0o6wuY1CA1

We are a strong believer in Cloud Computing, especially in the Azure platform and we would love to hear your comments on this to help answer any questions that might come up regarding the outage.  Most notably, it's important to know that all Cloud Platforms have had reduced functionality and/or outages and the fact that Microsoft steps up to the plate to admit fault is an admirable quality in our trusted partner, Microsoft.

WIT - What you may not know about this phrase...

Wit is defined as a form of intelligent humor of course, however, the WIT I'm referring to is not that simple.  It's an acronym that our partner Microsoft uses alongside many other other organizations and partners throughout the industry.  This blog is all about how these "WIT" people have enabled RyanTech. W OMEN I N T ECHNOLOGY At RyanTech we've worked very hard to create an image of credibility, investment and second to none support for our customers.  Over the years we've invested time in organizations such as EO ( The Entrepreneur's Organization ), IAMCP ( The International Association of Microsoft Channel Partners ) as well as the MCC ( Microsoft Community Connections ) and participated in the Partner Engagement Board for Microsoft's Worldwide Partner Conference.  All of these engagements have brought value to Me as the CEO and the company as a whole however what's most important about these engagements is that it's taught me to h...

If you had an opportunity to give a room of graduates advice, what would you say?

This would be the most touching opportunity I could ever embrace.  I did not graduate college. I did NOT succeed or did I?  I did WIN and I did NOT WIN. How does one contradict ones self?  Simply through drive and love. Where do you think the name RyanTech came from? Me? Nope!  Although if I had a dollar for every time I was called Ryan I'd be filthy rich. This young man named Ryan is my son and he's done an amazing job with life.  Working summers, winters and after school time in college at George Fox University where he recently graduated with his BA and prior to that being educated at Modesto Christian School since Kindergarten. He's the best McMillen to have ever been gifted life.  He's married to an amazing woman, Cortney, who graduated from Corbin University in only three years and invested time at Oxford.  What a resume! From the day he was born I told him "You're going to college no matter what it takes" and he lived the dream of gettin...

Cutting Edge Mercedes Dealer in Gilbert, AZ embraces cloud

www.mbgilbert.com facility photo This past month has been exciting for the community in Gilbert, AZ after the long awaited opening of Mercedes Benz of Gilbert when they unveiled their amazing facility. Throughout the period of time that the dealership has been constructed we have been visiting, involved and overjoyed by what the owners Charlie and Audrey Alfano have accomplished. To our delight we have been witness on their use of Cloud Technology like Office365.   When you arrive at the dealership you'll be greeted by an amazing reception, branded water bottles and Free WiFi.  Their sales professionals have an open demeanor and are listeners unlike some of the experiences we've had in visiting similar facilities in the area. The lot is FULL of pre-owned cars and the NEW cars they have on display include AMG super-cars as well as an experience center that reminds me of the XBox displays at Microsoft Stores.  With this experience center you can listen to ...
