Just a quick note for those watching our blog feed that over the coming weekend we are rebuilding the server room at Tideway Towers.
Our public sites and support numbers will be unaffected throughout but our email and remote working systems will be down so you may not get a…
TKU (Tideway Knowledge Update) has recently been enhanced with the addition of hardware reference data. HRD, as we tend to call it, contains a wealth of information about common servers (you can read more about it here) and allows Tideway Foundation to provide a whole new set of useful dashboards and reports out of the box that highlight things like the biggest power consumers in the data centre, or servers which are peculiarly large for the compute power they provide.
For customers looking for candidate servers to decommission, this is great information to have.
You must have seen the comments, even from reputable analysts and commentators, ‘servers in data centers run at an average 8% cpu utilization and that’s a bad thing and it’s down to the data center operations people to fix this atrocious misuse of corporate assets by increasing that average utilization…
It’s often hard for people outside of the slightly specialised world of distributed computing and data centres to get their heads around quite how critical and complex they have become. So it was a bittersweet moment to find this article in The Economist last week – Buy our stuff, save the planet.
Today we released the April Tideway Knowledge Update which extends Tideway’s coverage of virtualization products to include IBM AIX LPARs, WPARs and Citrix XenServer.
IBM AIX LPARs and WPARs is a great example of how Tideway works with with the software publisher to build patterns. In this case our TKU…
As we all know, the cost of servers has fallen dramatically over the last few years.
Simple economics tells us that when prices fall, demand rises. Sure enough, data centres around the world are now running out of space, power, cooling or all three. If you can cope with the…
Like most people, when my job takes to out of the office, I use a laptop. I’ve been using laptops for about 13 years now – I’m old enough to remember the early “portable” computers like the Sun Voyager! – and with that one exception, they have all run Windows…
