Data centers and other mission critical applications have long relied on several minutes of ride-through time using traditional batteries for their UPS systems.
Training aspects of this endeavor are reviewed by the Advancing Academia Commission on Higher Education (AACHE), which aspires to be the preeminent resource for institutions of higher education striving to achieve excellence in fulfilling their missions.
Following my return from TechEd and Cisco Live! in June, I promised a recap of my experiences and impressions from VMworld, which was held late last month in San Francisco.
Last month, I outlined the need to move towards a more application-centric approach to IT monitoring, but what I didn’t specifically discuss is how the enduser fits into the equation.
