Wireless Sensor Network Solutions for Data Center Applications 2007-09-04 Sensicast

Many of the adverse environmental conditions that can cause equipment to fail remain invisible to the data center staff responsible for ensuring continuous availability of business-critical resources. The shared goal of delivering reliable value and service to the business by data center staff creates a need for controlling the factors leading to data center reliability. Monitoring the environment conditions in a computer room or data center is critical to ensuring uptime and system reliability. Given the high cost of downtime, even excellent data centers lose time and money each year in unplanned downtime. Maintaining recommended temperature and humidity levels in the data center can reduce unplanned downtime caused by environment conditions and save companies thousands or even millions of dollars per year.

Are You Sure That Your HA/DR Plan Will Work When You Need It? 2007-09-04 Symantec

Many enterprises choose to implement a recovery solution either with data replication alone or in combination with application clustering, to protect IT and business operations in the event of a site outage. However, the effectiveness of these solutions is often in doubt because application and storage configurations change frequently, and most enterprises do not have the time or budget to perform adequate testing of their recovery plans and infrastructure. The result is that applications at the remote recovery site may be unable to start when needed, putting the overall business at risk. To achieve reliable recovery, enterprises today need the ability to non-intrusively test and verify their recovery infrastructure in an automated, cost-effective, and integrated manner.

Risk Mitigation: A Strategy for Reducing Risk Through a Single-Vendor Integrated Network 2007-09-01 Cisco Systems

With the increased reliance on the network for application support, enterprise customers are increasingly focused on the availability of the network. While there are considerations to building a diverse vendor environment, highly available single-vendor architecture is readily achievable. A single-vendor environment also allows the customer to use the network more effectively, by reducing operational expenses as well as providing a foundation for adoption of innovation. This paper discusses the advantages of a single-vendor architecture and review whether a vendor can provide high availability for the entire network architecture.
