Casual Articles - Server Downtime? What Downtime? How to Never have Server Downtime?
Would you like to work from home? in reality work from home is even more common than we usually thought. You can find thousands of web sites offering jobs to people who want to work as a freelance copywriters, if you enjoy copywriting and you would like to have a work from home or you do not want to have a slaving work without flexible schedules then freelance copywriting jobs is for you.Copywriting is very popular field, because is the kind of work that will always be in demand by the companies that need to sell products, so if you know that you have the ability to write well, you can make money with this talent and the best is that you do not need to be at work, is very simple and you can at home, or where you want.The network markets for freelance copywriters are numerous, you can work writing sales letters, books, newspapers, magazines, online publications, websites, marketing publications,etc. there are thousands of opportunities unlike other markets.

So you can see that a server that has 99.999% up time giving a company 100% business continuity will save your company thousands if not millions of dollars annually, precious time and greatly increase employee production. Most importantly, it will secure you clients faith in the ability of your company. As far as I know there isn’t anyone that wants to hear – “sorry, but we can’t service you cause our servers are down.” But I could be wrong!
3. Active upgrade
Can you imagine if you can test all your patches, updates and upgrades before you install? If those new updates are suspected to cause problems, you can “rollback” to the previous setting. How much money and time will that save you? Let us just say that most companies spend thousands of dollars every year to have a special department or unit to just test patches, updates and upgrades not to mention repairing a down server if those updates do not work. Do not forget – although you need to reboot to install these updates – your client still has 100% availability!
4. The NEC Fault Tolerant server supports many Operating systems (OS) through virtualization if needed.
If needed you can also have multiple OS’s on one server via a virtual environment instead of buying a multitude of additi
Article writing is one of the easiest ways to gain targeted, quality traffic to your web site, and yet sometimes it probably feels so difficult to write an article that is simple, yet generates clicks.The crazy thing is, when you write a simple article, it is actually easy to get clicks. You see, people want to read something that gives them exactly the information they need. I think that sometimes article writers add far more to their articles than is necessary, just because they think they need more words or more length to their article.I think that when a reader gets to a short, simple article that tells them exactly what to do in the least amount of words possible, it is like a breath of fresh air.So how do you do it?1) Stick to one and only one topic for the article. You are not writing a chapter, but an article – almost like a page in a chapter.2) Tell the reader exactly what you are going to teach in the article3) Delineate in points or numbers exactly
What IT companies will not (can not) tell you. The 100% business continuity solution.
Technology - Without it, the business world would collapse. Unfortunately, with technology it can also be expensive and at times, unreliable. Our purpose is to explain to you a few ways some clients have eliminated a main expensive component in their business – Downtime, planned or unplanned. A seemingly unsolvable and major setback for business and Administrators alike that has indeed been the cause for a business to;
1. File bankruptcy within six months of a crash
2. Loss of clients/patients
3. Loss of thousands if not millions of dollars annually
4. Loss of jobs and inadvertently causing an organization to downsize
5. loss of data and the enormous cost to repair that data – if that is possible
6. and most importantly, the enormous stress on the company and the techs who work so hard to attempt to keep your systems online.
What are the solutions? Well today’s standards might ask you to buy an overpriced cluster solution that still only gives 99.9% up-time. That still is almost nine hours of down time yearly. On researching the reliability of a cluster, we talked to many clients using cluster solutions and one thing they honestly admit that they have no idea the system will even kick in if there is a situation that calls for it. We are not including the scripting, management, hardware cost, multiple Operating Systems (OS) and applications, amongst other factors. There are many “solutions” which is a joke when you are the one responsible for your systems staying up.
“Well that is all that is available right? I mean, we can’t afford to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars like the big companies for a state of the art systems.” The truth is even big corporations are loosing incredible amount of money, data security and their best technicians are still at a loss trying to engineer a workable solution. Sure you can use Unix or Solaris but that is a software solution and that still does not handle the hardware side of the problem. a
This is where I come in. I feel for business and especially the techs. These guys are the heartbeat of companies and they still get very little respect and even less pay for their brilliant resolve. However, you would be shocked at companies that are sold into a solution and terrified of change. Personally I do not lose any sleep if a company doesn’t use a new technology or at least research what is out there– their competitors will. They can reduce their operating cost, increase their production rate and in many cases both. In many situations this percentage is over 50%!
I am sure you know this, but technology utilized properly should make your company much more capital in return. After all, is the purpose of investing in any technology also the same reason why you invest in the first place, to make money? To the degree and quality one outflows his time, money etc. will be proportionate to what he inflows. While this universal basic philosophy of life holds true, competence, ingenuity and the ability hold your ground and succeed separates those who succeed and become powerful and those who do not. With this said, in intelligent hands, technology can do amazing things but in the wrong hand’s it can destroy a business and even lives. However, we all agree it takes money to make money but let me show you some ways to help you with all of that. Here are some ways to profit using technology.
Let us take a server. Although IT companies will never admit it, they count on two things to happen.
Downtime
Servers go down and this is very common. We all agree downtime (the time the server is down or inoperable or inaccessible) does indeed cause a business lose money, lose clients and can even inadvertently cost lives, we have all agreed on that. We also we have agreed that repairing any data loss and the other problems associated with downtime, to financial loss and bad PR from losing clients (and lost clients) because you could not service them when they needed it is very, very bad.
Well I have some great news for you!
There are a couple of very workable solutions for mission critical servers that we found about that is very affordable.
1. The true definition of Fault Tolerant servers.
While there are many servers that claim to be fault tolerant, I only found one that is truly a 100% FT server! We are not talking about a mirrored disk or a HD RAID but the whole box. We found a server that does not have one single point of failure! Imagine a whole box that is Fault Tolerant! We also have a written guarantee of 99.999% up-time!
2. Your client needs and can have 99.999% up-time at 100% availability. What does that mean?
It means that you will have more chances on winning the lottery then having your server go down. Most redundant and “protected” servers have at the best 99.9%. This is the famous cluster solution. This breaks down to about 8hrs and 45 minutes. WOW! That is actually horrific and the accepted standard for a lot of companies. That is unacceptable for my clients and if your company has just as much critical data that just can’t be down this obviously isn’t a good solution.
So you can see that a server that has 99.999% up time giving a company 100% business continuity will save your company thousands if not millions of dollars annually, precious time and greatly increase employee production. Most importantly, it will secure you clients faith in the ability of your company. As far as I know there isn’t anyone that wants to hear – “sorry, but we can’t service you cause our servers are down.” But I could be wrong!

If you are having difficulty getting a good deal on a mortgage whether because you have a poor credit record or because you don't have enough cash for a deposit then there are a few steps you can take to get a better offer.Improve your credit rating About 70 million Americans are affected by an adverse credit rating. If you are in this category it may prevent you from accessing some of the very best mortgage rates available. An important thing to understand is that this rating is something you can work on to improve, it can take time but it's well worth it. Before you apply for any mortgages get hold of your credit report. These reports can often contain errors and it is worth contesting these to get a better rating. One good way of improving your rating is to arrange a small short term loan. Keep the money in a high interest account and repay all the installments in good time. This will help make you look like a reliable borrower.Improve your cash depositThe mor

As a copywriter, it'd be so easy if all I ever had to do was list the features and benefits of your product or service. But while these are important and even necessary, there's something else that's equally as important that you may not think about.Emotion.Now that's a loaded word. Some people read it and immediately think of loud, exclamation-point-laden phrases. Some people think of excessive capitalization and way, way too much bolded and/or yellow-highlighted copy.That's emotional alright - too much of it will cause headaches, seared eyeballs, and most importantly...the potential customer quickly clicking on the "Back" button on her browswer!However, exclamation points, bold, and highlighted text can be effective if used properly. But the kind of emotions I'm talking about are the real ones that you get directly from the client who uses your service or product.And what's the best way to capture those real emotions? Simple - through interviews. I ask questions that br

Note: Please read the entire document before you begin, if you change the wrong setting it could cause Windows XP not to boot up.Warning: You must replace the forward slash in the command line with a back slash, otherwise you will receive a "bad command or file name" error message in the Recovery Console. When I tried to publish this article, It removed all the back slashes, so I put forward slashes in their place so you would where to put the back slash.You’ve installed a seemingly innocent application, restarted your computer, and suddenly you see the horror, your background has changed, it’s dark and has a message that says you’ve won the grand prize. You try restarting your computer again, same thing. You’ve been hijacked; meaning your background has been hijacked. What will you do? Well, don’t let it ruin your day. If you’re using Windows XP there is help.I’m going to show you how to bring your background back to life, and restore it to the point it was before it was hijacked. Y

Setting up a home office may take a bit of maneuvering if you do not have a separate room such as a den in which to put your computer desk. It is always preferable to have a room with a door you can close to shut out the people you love when you are trying to concentrate on business and accomplish some work.However, many of us do not have the luxury of a whole room allocated to our home office and have to carve our niche somewhere else. Depending on the set-up of your home, you may have room in your kitchen or dining room. I have my work area in my bedroom with a computer desk large enough to hold my monitor and speakers, printer and files with my computer underneath the desk.Happily, my desk faces my backyard patio and through the glass doors, I can see the changing seasons while working. In mild weather, I open the doors and smell the fragrance of spring flowers wafting on the breeze. I am aware of the sun shining and am pleased not to be closed away somewhere in an office without a wi
So you can see that a server that has 99.999% up time giving a company 100% business continuity will save your company thousands if not millions of dollars annually, precious time and greatly increase employee production.

4. The NEC Fault Tolerant server supports many Operating systems (OS) through virtualization if needed.
If needed you can also have multiple OS’s on one server via a virtual environment instead of buying a multitude of additional servers. These machines will even automatically reboot the OS/application in an attempt to get the software back online. Again, there is still 100% availability!
5. Remote management
Lights out computing; Are you vacationing in France? With remote management you will be instantly notified when a clients FT Server is having issues. Note: To this date there have never been any reports of these servers having any problems.
6. These also are all hot swappable HD’s.
7. These servers run a little more expensive then a regular GP (general purpose) server but far less than a cluster solution.
8. There are many additional benefits and features that are very impressive but my job isn’t to sell you – it’s to educate you that downtime is yesterdays news. The technology is unbelievable, it's new and it works. Of course unless you like yeaterdays gear you will need this to get ahead.
With this said, how much is it to you to finally eradicate downtime?? Do you really want you competition to have this technology before you? Can you see that putting your resources from slow, expensive and unreliable servers to the right equipment will let your techs work on the other important projects (other than downtime)? Do you understand that financial resources you could use for expanding your company and most importantly – the restored faith your clients will have in you?
Good luck!
