Centcore Data Center Business Unit The Centcore data center business has expanded its market approach to include a value-added reseller (VAR) group, with initial participants providing automated remote backup, high-level cyber security and municipal applications. "We see the VAR avenue as a way to attract subject matter expertise apart from our own experiences. This allows us to expand our sales staffing to without increasing our internal overhead and leverages the subject matter expertise and existing client base each reseller brings to the situation," explained Brian Valania, General Manager for Centcore. It is in discussions with a number of larger data center users for as many as 20 racks in a single configuration at its current Melbourne, Florida location, and has a plan to develop a network of small, purpose-built locations. These sites are expected to be in the 5,000 to 10,000 square foot area and would be housed in existing structures who already have suitable power, water and HVAC on-site. "To the extent that we a successful in this approach our cap-x would be much less than needed for a full new buildout, and the time to market a fraction of the traditional approach. We would seek to have a single user for around 50% of the capacity and make the remaining space available to new clients, explained Valania. Vero Technology Ventures Business Investments The recently formed Vero Technology Ventures has a focus on cloud computing software solutions and is evaluating a number of potential investments, in addition to the development of its Robo Agent A.I. based application focused on sales automation. "While this is being developed to assist in the sales generally to consumers (B2C) the initial releases will be aimed at the residential real estate market. There are over 3 million real estate agents in the U.S., and there is a significant need for improved productivity. New rules about compensation are putting pressure on reduced income for sales agents, especially on the buyer representation side of transactions. We believe that the Robo Agent approach can improve productivity with better time management and prospect qualifications using the latest voice technology with a psychographic overlay," said Valania. The market for sales automation in residential real estate includes a number of top-listed companies. "We have a testbed with existing leading agents who are helping us develop the specifications and will serve as beta test users," said Valania.

This Week in Jobs: Add these 24 open roles to your cart
30 years ago, ecommerce was rapidly beginning to boom. Commercial internet was in its infancy at the time — only 36% of US households had computers, with many using it primarily for email. But two new companies, online bookstore Amazon and online reseller Ebay, were starting to change the way people thought about commerce. Microsoft, of course, wanted in. It made plans to acquire the banking and online payment company Intuit. The idea of Microsoft having that much power terrified a lot of people, including the US government. On this day in 1995, after the US Department of Justice moved to block Microsoft's acquisition of Intuit, Microsoft backed down and canceled the $2 billion deal. We'll never know what the impact would have been if Microsoft had gone ahead with it. Some tech pundits of the day saw the justice system's blocking the deal as a disservice to US consumers, who would lose out on the benefits of the new technology of ecommerce and electronic banking. It didn't take long for those things to become ubiquitous either way. Also ubiquitous: Online job applications.
