Keith ShawWe know you want to go on vacation, but after a year of installing new VoIP gateways, patching the routers and installing new blade servers, you may have forgotten about some time off. We're here to help. Over the next five days, we will present a series of articles, podcasts, videos and checklists to get you out of the office and into the great wide open (not the wide-area network). Check back on each day for new content related to the best time of year, summer vacation.
