It is time to get organized! Update your data center today.

If you’ve ever worked as part of an IT team or been the brains behind such an operation then surely you’re aware of data center automation.  Unless you’ve been isolated in the same server room for the last decade you know that automation has changed how IT departments are run, helped to make them more productive and have helped make business application and their servers more reliable.  However as most of us stay with one company for years at a time it can be easy to get pigeon holed and what you may not know is that many of the companies that do automate often do so improperly or operate on such a grand scale that they often end up with to much, not enough, or the wrong tools.

With the change in technology everything seems to be changed now. This change however has been a good one, especially when it comes to IT support.

In the past you would have to call a support hot line and perhaps wait on hold for ages to talk to an operator who may or may not be able to help you. In fact, you may not even be able to understand the person that you get on the other end of the phone as many of these services are outsourced to different countries!

The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) has adopted an international standard based on Microsoft’s Office Open XML (OOXML) document format. This adoption process has caused some to wonder if Microsoft strong armed this standard into existence. 

I’ve been watching the approval process for OOXML with some interest. Never before have I seen a vendor that has the existing standard for anything challenged in this fashion. I’m not sure what it means for the market, but regardless of which side you are on, I think both sides can agree the process sure made ISO look like a joke. Seriously, when should an approval process look like a U.S. election (with hanging chads)?
