Gentlemen,
I have been reading this thread, as z-worker I am, too interested and worried
about my job/future.
Obviously I have been thinking: What the hell 7,000 mips the good man was
talking about ?
How were configurated his fabric ? It was one datacentre ? Have they 2 for DR
purposes ?
How many enviroments did they have ? How many Plexes ? There were any over
sized ones ? Which DB/DC were been used ?
You can say that a Corporation like that would have checked all those wasting aspects long ago before thinking any alternatives and starting finance analysis,
but I would like to know some macro aspects a little deeper than "7000 mips were at 100% and were costing more 10 million bucks on 5-year period".
All right, add x million contracts simulations by month (someone have said
before).
Anyhow, it is still somewhat 'vague', like my car was good enough, it did not fit to my usage. So I have bought a new one, a new brand X.
I wish I have made myself clear, and I simply would like some data to
understand what did happen.
OK... their corporation....they do what they want, but, please, we are techs, we like data, graphs, vectors, trends, machine model/type, and, :) ...dumps. (sorry, couldn't resist)
[Sorry to interrupt you guys]
Best regards,
Joao Carlos
Rio de Janeiro - Brazil.
PS: Soon I will be posting from my Blackberry too.
Of course, by the seashore, in the sunset, over a cold beer.
Then I will be able to understand these corporation subjects ITIS.
