EFF: The Christchurch Call: The Good, the Not-So-Good, and the Ugly

The Christchurch Call: The Good, the Not-So-Good, and the Ugly In the wake of the mass shootings at two mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand, that killed fifty-one people and injured more than forty others, the New Zealand government has released a plan to combat terrorist and violent content online, dubbed the Christchurch Call . The Call has been endorsed by more than a dozen countries, as well as eight major tech companies. The massacre , committed on March 15 by a New Zealand national connected with white supremacist groups in various countries, was intentionally live-streamed and disseminated widely on social media.

But the stakes are far higher in a critical facility such as a data center. Many customers have zero tolerance for downtime, so plans must be in place to deal with everything from routine upgrades to widespread power outages without missing a beat. Meeting those ki...

In the Cloud and at the Edge: The New World of Edge Data Center Management

Image
Big changes are happening with data center management as emphasis shifts from core to edge operations. The core is no less important, but the move to the edge opens new challenges as the environment becomes more complex. IT management roles, and the supporting tools and infrastructure, must change in line with the transition to new edge data centers. A new world of data center management is being driven by rapid growth in the implementation of edge computing environments and “non-traditional” IT, with analysts forecasting that 80% of enterprise applications will become cloud based by 2025. Underscoring these drivers is a hunger for data with actionable insights and an increased focus on customer experience. Whether internal users or external clients, the services received will be hosted and accessed from multiple locations. From wherever and however it is delivered is of no concern to the user, only quality of service is important. Minimize Complexity in Edge Data Center Managemen...
