The starting point is to look at the problems associated with traditional business continuity and disaster recovery strategies. At enterprise, multi-national level, it is estimated that almost 80 per cent of the Disaster Recovery budget is given over to the protection of just 20 per cent of the total server network, namely their most business-critical servers. It's an understandable risk management trade-off. In an ideal world, organisations would want to protect all server workloads, with Disaster Recovery procedures geared to rapid recovery with a high level of data integrity – they would look to a separate data centre or centres and maintain mirrored environments, perfectly synched[..]

Back in the 90's a group of German engineers put together the world's first grid computing network with over 100 PCs running on the first version of the Linux operating system. It was a great success and everybody called it the dawn of a new technology that will change the computing world forever. What these engineers didn't understand was how database engines worked at the time and how they actually set the trends for hardware development. The database engines were calling for Massive Parallel Processing (MPP) systems that offered dozens of CPUs in one single server platform. Just when we thought the mainframe was dead - with grid computing, we witnessed the birth of the open systems[..]

     Cloud computing is a style of computing in which dynamically scalable and often virtualized resources are provided as a service over the Internet. Users need not have knowledge of, expertise in, or control over the technology infrastructure in the "cloud" that supports them. Cloud computing is a method of delivering hosted services -- Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS), Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) and Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) – over the Internet in a fast, cost-effective way. The technology has gained popularity in a weakened economy as enterprises seek ways to save money, but as always, this emerging technology presents certain risks, and it could open an organization to[..]

The objective is to beat the competition and make money. Everything a business organization does should be focused on that simple objective, with interpretation through various Vision and Mission Statements. However if we take a survey of how our organizations spend our energy, often that objective is lost in a web of internal politics and positioning. Of course competition is normally good - regardless of whether it is internal or external - to the point we do not lose focus on company objectives as the ultimate outcome of our competition. We often use the phrase "winning battles and losing wars." That phrase really hits home when we record all the things we do, every day of our[..]

s computing networks typically have very powerful client computers with significant amounts of captive storage attached to each one. Processing power is very easily available and the Internet interconnects a huge number of private networks and individual computers. Captive storage for clients, servers and dedicated applications has exploded. Successfully executed backups and (more importantly) successful restores, may mean the difference between gracefully recovering from data loss and starting the countdown to seeking new employment. As processing power proliferates, and dedicated captive storage follows along with each new machine, storage "islands" are gradually formed. Islands are[..]

Efficient use of our valuable resources is just smart business and there are many ways to manage costs without sacrificing performance. Below are a few ideas that you can use immediately with a minimum of time and investment. 1. Recycle software licenses - It's worth the effort to record all software purchases so you can easily transfer and upgrade licenses. Start with an inventory of all existing software and then be sure to update as you add and replace licenses. Often software licenses can be harvested as hardware is retired. When purchasing, compare the cost of transferable to non-transferable licenses. Be[..]

When using and operating a high availability server or system within an organisation, you need to consider that there may be times when hardware fails and the system may be offline. This is par for the course when it comes to computers. No system in 100% fail safe as there are so many things that can go wrong. One of the main issues that IT departments face is loss of data if a disk fails. A way to overcome this issue is to employ a level of RAID and use SCSI hot swap disks. Using RAID allows you to spread your data across many disk drives in the server. This process has several levels of complexity and redundancy and allows you to recover information from a failed disk using parity[..]

With so many hosting options available, it can be rather confusing what to go with. This isn't referring to the many hosting plans that are on the market. This is referring to whether you should use VMware hosting, dedicated hosting, or shared hosting. In this case, we're talking about VMware virtualized hosting and dedicated hosting since you want your website to exist on its own server and not have to share with others. The point is, it is a large decision to make. VMware Virtualized Hosting VMware virtualized hosting is different from any other hosting that you may research. You'll find that it exists on a virtual server that operates independent of any operating system instead of it[..]

What is the work of dedicated domain name servers? A dedicated domain name server maintains a directory of domain names and their matching IP addresses. This translation enables other systems to locate and link with your system and eventually connect to your site. A central registry collects all domain names registered any where across the global internet space for the benefit of identification and subsequent redistribution at any required time. Computer networks across the world check in with this Central Registry on a regular basis to get updates about your domain and where to find your domain name or website. Computers would not know where to find your website or any other website[..]

In brainstorming our approach to developing a curriculum that will be acceptable and non-confrontational, I suggested writing an article that brings reason to the fore front. The term green IT is relatively new to the world of technology. Some may see it as a method of completely overhauling the IT infrastructure, others may see it is a dream dancing in the mind of a few idealists. Maybe we should have started this journey with the mind set of those who rode that fishing boat in 1971. They believed a few individuals could make a difference. Maybe there should have been more emphasis placed on education towards "greening the home". How many of us are aware of the waste in energy in our[..]

Pre-RAC Let's face it, today's IT environments are in constant flux. Acquisitions, mergers, global economies, and the general unrest in the marketplace continually put stress on IT infrastructures. It has become increasingly difficult for IT organizations to predict, plan, and deploy proper computing environments that will satisfy current and future requirements. Corporations, when planning for database systems, seem to be a constant battle between purchasing systems that meet today's requirements against systems that might potentially satisfy future expectations. The unfortunate reality is that both of these approaches are inadequately suited when compared to the dynamic nature of the[..]

Virtualization helps server hosting companies save money by allowing server functions to live on fewer physical machines, saving space, power, maintenance, and up front acquisition costs. VMware takes virtualization further; its bare metal hypervisor runs more efficiently than OS-based virtualization, allows more processes to run with less operating system overhead, and offers many operating system choices for virtual machine users. Now, with the introduction of vSphere 4, VMware's newest datacenter virtualization platform, VMware offers big savings for both virtual server hosting companies-and their customers-though higher server consolidation, reduced power consumption, denser storage,[..]

There is a guy (or a girl) who doesn't really mind that Facebook knows a lot about him. He doesn't mind that Facebook uses this information to serve up ads. In fact, he likes it. This guy is you; or at least he should be. Online advertising has come a long way. Just a year ago, we were punching monkeys and other funny creatures to "win a free iPod" or "clicking here to refinance my home." That is to say that, with a few exceptions, online advertising was terrible. Not only were these ads ignored, those who did click on them were awarded with a nasty virus or spam trap more often than they received a $299 electronics device for free. In today's world, ads are actually becoming relevant.[..]
