Information Is Everything
Some of the things Software-as-a-Service developers are rightly worried about are uptime and performance. “How will my system perform when I deploy it?” “What will happen during peak periods?” “How will my system scale?”
Without the right tools we cannot manage performance or uptime. We need information to make the right decisions and then to check if those decisions were indeed right after all. read more
Fault Tolerance & Hardware Support In Action
When we talk about hardware support contracts with the manufacturer we are being very serious. When we were planning our infrastructure we decided to do something unusual in the server hosting business; we decided to purchase hardware support contracts for all of our hardware to give us 4 hour on site responses by the manufacturer.
Part 2: The C Infinity Private Cloud VS the Rest
In the first post in this article we looked at how you could get high levels of hardware fault tolerance with a “statefull” application such as a database and how it was very expensive.

74% of IT Workers Should Look To the Cloud
ZDNet published results from a survey that showed 74% of IT workers are using at least 3 machines to do their day-to-day jobs. What’s really scary is that this doesn’t include servers that they are working on or PC’s that they are fixing. What’s going on is that testers need multiple test environments for various scenarios, developers need custom work environments and IT pro’s need to work in isolated environments or be able to manage many operating systems. This needs have evolved over time and the infrastructure required has grown organically until it gets to the point that there’s a huge environment that resides outside of the normal management systems.
