The Jetsons was an animated, futuristic situation comedy produced by Hanna-Barbera which premiered in September 1962 on ABC and ran for one year. The Jetsons lived in Orbit City, high above the ground in Sky Pad apartments. Besides the family, Rosie the Robot and Astro the dog may be the most well remembered characters.
Almost 30 years ago, Queen recorded a big hit named “I Want It All.” We were reminded of that song when we first met with one of newer clients—a small consulting firm specializing in the civil, highway and traffic engineering industry. Founded in 2007, this New Jersey based firm has grown dramatically and has gotten to the point where they needed to dramatically upgrade their infrastructure so that they could implement new business software, and enhance their security and productivity, while meeting their large governmental clients’ security and compliance needs.
As Stan Lee would say, “Face front, true believers!”
Cybersecurity can be hard to digest, which is why we’re turning to lessons from cartoons to make very technical topics more accessible to everyone. Verizon estimates that up to 90% of data breaches trace back to social engineering related attacks, such as phishing emails and carefully crafted scams.
Clever business owners utilize an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) during disasters like fires, storms, and other emergency situations. A UPS is usually set up for desktop computers to give users enough time to save their work and progress. Another useful power-saving plan for emergency situations would be to use a UPS for networking gear.
I served our country for five years as a Sergeant E5 Light Wheel Mechanic in the U.S. Army. So, if you’re having car troubles, I'm the man to see. I came to IT Radix with several years of job experience in the IT field. While attending Rutgers as a Computer Science major, I worked on Rutgers University’s Helpdesk as well as in their IT Department (two separate departments) where I provided a variety of IT support to students, professors, and high-level administrators.
Hackers prefer the little guy. The high-profile data breaches you read about in the news — your Facebooks and Equifaxes and T-Mobiles — are only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the digital crimes being perpetrated day after day, especially against small businesses.
The opportunity to partner with our clients and provide IT Support to help them step into their full potential is a passion of mine at IT Radix. Over the years, we’ve watched one professional services and strategic planning company grow and branch out into a truly reputable consulting firm.
Is your business living in the Stone Age like the Flintstones of Bedrock? While it’s humorous to watch Fred and Barney get into minor scrapes and conflicts, we doubt you want your business to go through similar incidents when it comes to your business technology.

Subject: There’s no need to fear, Underdog is here!
How many of you remember Underdog, the lovable alter ego of Shoeshine Boy, that first appeared on TV in 1964? I didn’t know it had been around that long! Underdog would always appear whenever his love interest, Sweet Polly Purebred’s, safety was at risk.
Our newest client came to us after she had purchased an existing business, an independent and owner-operated insurance agency. The agency was well established, having been in business for more than 30 years. A “deliberately” small agency, they pride themselves on bringing a unique level of experience, expertise and personal involvement to their clients.
