Johnston Technologies’ blog will provide an entertaining twist on the products and services we sell.
Johnston Technologies, A Part of UPS History
How many people or companies can claim they have been in their line of business for half of their business’ history? Probably not many. I know I can’t make that claim; heck, I’m a writer and that art has been around since 3200 BC in Mesopotamia. There are always exceptions, however, and Johnston Technologies is […]
Security First
You hear the phrase, “Safety First.” quite often. But today we are going to say, “Security First.” What is the first thing most people do when they walk out the front door? Unless they are coming right back in, most people lock it. And why do we lock the door? To be secure and to […]
Are Your Cables Under Control?
Okay, here are a couple of scenarios… If you are a girl (or a hippy dude sporting lovely locks) with long hair and you don’t use conditioner, is it manageable or is it a giant rats nest that takes FOREVER to untangle? If you are a guy (or a girl in charge of the family finances) […]
Cost Effective Blanking Panels
Okay, let me see a show of hands. Who likes to save money? You had better all be raising your arm, unless, of course, money is no object, in which case, could you loan me a few bucks? Just kidding. What if I were to tell you that Johnston Technologies has a cost effective solution […]
Nice Rack!
Okay, I feel I must explain the title of this blog, being that we live in Tennessee, and a lot of you hunt. I am NOT referring to the big antlers on that buck you bagged. Rather, I am writing about the racks that Johnston Technologies sells for your data centers. It doesn’t matter if […]
Is Your Facility Up and Running?
Okay now, I just asked you a question. Is your facility up and running? If your job title is Data Center Manager, you better have answered yes… quickly. If you answered, “I don’t know. Let me go check.” or “I have no idea; we have facilities all over the world.” then there’s a problem. Don’t worry. […]
Money Saving Battery Monitoring
We’ve all had this problem; you look down at your watch, only to discover the battery is dead. Big deal; you change the battery and go on. But what if there is a power outage at your business and the UPS doesn’t kick on to keep your critical equipment running because it’s batteries are dead. […]
LOL, TTYL, RFID?
Laugh out loud (LOL). Talk to you later (TTYL). What? You don’t know what RFID means? Okay, I didn’t either. And I now know that I will not find it on my teenager’s phone when I secretly read his texts. (Did I just admit that out loud?) RFID stands for Radio Frequency Identification. So what […]
Got a Leak Problem?
If you are like most companies, you have a data center located somewhere in your business that houses a lot of expensive equipment, equipment you definitely don’t want damaged. See here’s the deal, many data centers have an air handling unit (like an air conditioner) in them to keep it the perfect temperature. (Not too […]
Don’t Despair, Have a Spare
Have you ever been driving along and all of a sudden you hear a “Pop! Flump. Flump. Flump.”?
1. Of course you have; everyone has.
2. I know it’s not a word, but that’s what a flat sounds like to me.
Anyway, what do you do? You pull over and get the spare tire […]
Man, That’s Pretty Fly
Hey, I don’t mean to get all crazy and talk about fly stuff, but Yo, this stuff is rockin’. Okay, I’m too old to be talking like that (And truth be told, you are too old to be reading it.) What I can tell you, in good old fashioned English, is that Johnston Technologies in […]
Are You Single?
Okay, seriously, it’s not what you think. This is a respectable blog for a data center design and mission-critical power company, not a dating site. I am referring to your business’ UPS. What!? You are a small business and you don’t have an Uninterruptible Power Supply? You’re kidding, right? Oh, you’re not. Okay then, lets […]

Keepin’ It Local
You know, it seems that all too often these days, big businesses are taking over our towns. The little guy can’t compete with the prices huge companies have negotiated. And although the customer service can’t be beat at local businesses, times are tough, so people opt to wait in long lines […]
