There are many business benefits to the efficiencies that IT provides and the vast majority of functions have been automated.  Today, businesses do more transactions, of greater value, faster than ever before.  This intense dependence on technology has also introduced new risks and vulnerabilities that have large consequences.  One of the primary missions, therefore, for any modern organization is to manage the inherent risk within this complex infrastructure. The only rational reason for spending money to reduce operational risk is the expectation that the benefits outweigh the costs.  

Subjective measures such as risk-tolerance or risk appetite can lead to serious errors of fact, in the form of excessive fear of small risks and neglect of large ones.  The stakes are too great for organizations to rely on intuitive judgments that are error-prone.  Creating infrastructures that increase resiliency requires methods that provide better...

The issue draws interesting parallels to the energy crisis governments around the world are currently facing, with demands for more energy offset against rising fuel costs and environmental targets.  There are some interesting parallels in the solutions being used by both as well and perhaps a few tips to be learnt.
 

Saying it with a smile

Power boards in the US have been using some well documented psychological principles to reduce consumption rates, with impressive results and best of all - they're incredibly simple to implement. It likely started with an experiment in 2004 conducted by Roberto...

Data Center Down! Webcast - What Happens If A Data Center Falls Off A Roof?
Maria Bledsoe | 23 Oct 2012 | 0 comments

When you saw Data Center Down! did you have questions? Wonder why the failover took 4 minutes? What it was like to set up a DR scenario on a roof? How San Jose City Hall let us do this?

In this LIVE show, the production and engineering crews of the Data Center Down! answered these questions and more. They explored what it’s really like to throw a 500lb server rack loaded with enterprise software from the roof and have it all failover to a secondary site - without any visual effects or camera tricks.

The engineers went through the technology that made it happen. The video crew talked about the high stakes production.
