".....site shutdown, layoffs inevitable ...computer datacentre destroyed"
"It couldn't happen here... could it?!"
Operating
and recovery procedures, maintenance and replacement contracts, hot
standby sites and distributed architectures are typical key components
in disaster recovery and business continuity plans.
Replacement
cost and impact of downtime to the business aside, carefully managed
and rehearsed, disaster recovery plans provide effective temporary, but
limited continuity contingencies AFTER the event.
Yet
many companies and organisations still fail to plan and implement
automated disaster prevention systems to protect their systems
availability, information systems assets and valuable data from very
real threats such as unauthorised access, lightening, power
fluctuations, air-conditioning failure, flood, condensation, smoke and
dust particulates.
With
careful selection and application of critical threshold parameters,
systems availability data can all be applied to the configuration and
maintenance complexities of popular network management tools at the
Helpdesk to provide messaging via SMS, email and pop ups. If
meticulously maintained these network management tools should provide
early and reliable notification of system failures, provided that core
network systems remain operational during the alerting process.
In
reality, LAN management applications are subject to continuous
change and adjustment by technicians and engineers. Configurations come
and go as part of normal daily operations and alerting for critical
devices may become accidentally become disabled or misconfigured. In
the event of a serious or critical condition, early warning and
notification may never occur! Conversely, a high frequency of false
alarms will render the system useless as no one will take notice!
These
essential systems demand higher levels of reliability and are better
served by dedicated mechanisms connected to tell-tale devices which can
sense, query and test the validity of critical events before directing
specific and unambiguous alerts to site managers and
IT specialists.
