Major Improvements Coming to Apple Store, Including Genius Bar Expansion

Photo credit to ifoAppleStore.com

To most, Steve Jobs’ legacy is in the form of the iPod, iPhone, and the iPad, but to the analyst Steve Jobs’ greatest accomplishment was his conquering of the retail world.

As Apple users, we all know the wave of excitement that comes with a trip to the Apple Store. The atmosphere is enough to get us going, especially with all those Apple products atop their birchwood thrones. The store sets standards for what retailers should strive for. Every employee has a unique knowledge of everything Apple. And while you can usually find this at other technology outlets and big box brick and mortar stores, what sets the Apple Store apart from all the others is the incredible expertise of the Apple Genius Bar.

To date, Apple has had a one sided station where "Geniuses" would sit at one end, and the patron at the other. However, as ifoAppleStore.com reported this morning via concept photo, Apple is planning on changing the whole scope of the Genius Bar layout.

Daily, the Genius Bar gets more attraction then any other part of the Apple Store. In some stores, the Genius Bar can host up to about six people. Others can hold twenty. In an effort to improve services, Apple has decided to rotate the bar 90 degrees, allowing for two sides of the table to be used. That means more people serviced in the same amount of time.This rotation also allows Geniuses and costumers to be on the same side of the bar, creating the same atmosphere as the retail assistant’s experience.

Apple has yet to confirm or deny this report.

Arbor Aims for Expansion

- Alert) for one uses Peakflow to power its cloud services. It also uses the Pravail enterprise solution, which businesses deploy in front of services to stop application-layer attacks and disrupt botnet communications. Behind all Arbor products is ATLAS, the company’s research and intelligence organization that does threat analysis; deploys probes on service provider networks to get a broad view of what’s happening; and designs products to address those attacks. ATLAS has been in existence for about five years, says Bienkowski, but Arbor Networks is in the midst of expanding that effort by adding new people, additional probes, and building consortiums to collaborate on threat analysis.

Latisys recently confirmed that it has entered into an IT services agreement with BlueCava. Under the terms of the agreement, one of Latisys’ high density SOC 2 and SOC 3 audited data centers will support BlueCava’s web-based business over their managed IT services platform.

In a release, David Norris, CEO of BlueCava, said that, “Latisys provides the on-demand IT infrastructure our business depends upon. Their highly secure IT solution perfectly complements our high transaction, web-based delivery model, and provides the flexibility and security required for our business that is experiencing rapid growth.”

BlueCava, which is currently planning and expecting accelerated business expansion, needed a robust and highly scalable IT solution. By deploying the Latisys solution, BlueCava will benefit from colocation and managed hosting services, managed firewalls and corporate network services, as well as managed storage and load balancing, and monitoring capabilities.

Latisys also stated that the Latisys Cloud which has been designed to enable enterprise customers to make use of pay-as-you-go IT infrastructure services via a self-service portal will also be tested by BlueCava.

Pete Stevenson, chief executive officer at Latisys, said that, “As BlueCava expands their business and operations, Latisys will be ready to provide optimized IT services for their growth. We look forward to continued collaboration as a trusted business partner.”

Latisys will also be going ahead with the addition of 72,000 square feet of secure and high density, carrier grade IT infrastructure space supplemented with substantial power upgrades.

The company’s data centers incorporate multiple fiber network infrastructure options to ensure delivery of high bandwidth, high-density connectivity for its customers. Operating under SOC 2 Type II and SOC 3 audited controls, Latisys’ data centers offer customers with enhanced scalability and multi-site redundancy regardless of whether they need to off-premise and or off-load, improve or on-demand management of their IT infrastructure.
