Focus: Datacentre Uptime

As society grows increasingly reliant on the online world to carry out our day-to-day tasks, datacentre operators are under pressure to ensure their uptime records meet and exceed customer expectations.

After all, end users want to know the application they need is available wherever and whenever they need to access it and are rarely shy about expressing their dismay when the service they receive fails to live up to what was promised.

For this reason, any period of unplanned datacentre downtime can have dire economic consequences for the company involved, as customers opt to take their business elsewhere and/or demand compensation for any inconvenience caused.

In this e-guide, we take a closer look at some high-profile datacentre outages of recent times and assess the toll they took on the companies involved, and look into what providers and consumers can do to protect themselves from downtime.

  • Information technology skills guide

    Since the year 2000, numerous papers and articles have been published on the subject of skills shortages in information technology (IT), writes Terry Critchley, in this report for Computer Weekly.

    However, following Mark Twain's view, nobody seems to be doing anything about it. It appears that the overriding skills shortages are those in handing skills shortages. I have views on this matter, based on over 40 years in and writing about IT matters in the form of published books and articles posted on various web sites.

    The crux of my discussion flows from the definition of what a problem is. According to the now defunct IBM Intensive Planning programme, a problem is something that prevents you reaching an objective. Ergo, no objective equals no problem. It is not that simple, but the realisation that unless you can define a problem you cannot solve it is simple.

  • Key considerations for mainframe modernization

    Mainframes often support the most critical business functions, yet many companies still choose to carry outdated and limited legacy mainframes. To enable modernization, engineers should focus on modernizing the applications themselves, which can offer robustness, agility and integration.

    By modernizing mainframes, IT organizations can:

    • Reduce the running cost of IT
    • Respond to business agility requirements
    • Reduce complexity and risk by standardizing and automating work and controls

    Learn more key considerations for mainframe modernization using data from this analyst report.
