A closer look: Mercury is a case study for business continuity during COVID-19A year has passed since more than half of Mercury employees transitioned to a work-from-home environment due to the COVID-19 pandemic. From the outset, Mercury took a people-centric approach to its COVID-19 emergency response, swiftly implementing several mitigation measures to help protect the health, safety and livelihoods of its employees. Mercury’s fellow chief technologist Karen Haigh, PhD, coauthored a study with Monica Gandhi, MD, MPH, and professor of medicine at the University of California at San Francisco that takes a closer look at Mercury’s COVID-19 response. Read about what Mercury did right to ensure we remained open and productive through the pandemic.

I’ll take my data center to go, please: Celebrating 10 years of deployable data center performanceTen years ago, cloud computing hadn’t yet hit the mainstream. Amazon Web Services was only a few years old, Apple’s iCloud didn’t yet exist, and the “as-a-service” markets (IaaS, PaaS, SaaS) were still in their infancy. Since then, however, the commercial market has evolved, and so has Mercury’s HDS server product line and the modular building blocks that operate alongside it.
