  • The Data Center Journal – Where IT, Facilities and Design Meet – Think like a Pilot to Build an Effective IT Dashboard – Having implemented hundreds of IT dashboard projects for customers around the world, we’ve learned that there’s an equivalent “six pack” of information that lets an IT executive know at any given time whether he’s “open for business”. For each mission-critical service or application, these include:

    – Application availability
    – IT component availability
    – Application response time
    – Application transaction volume
    – IT alarm summary
    – Trouble ticket summary

    ** I'd say that there'd better be more important things for an IT EXECUTIVE to want to see/worry about than lower level IT Component Availability and IT Alarm information. **

  • Chronicles of a Wandering Mind » Announcing RapidInsight as an open source project and getting slammed for it – Next think I know, I was kicked out of the mailing list by the administrator (Jim Popovitch) for “unsolicited commercial solicitation”. You can take a look at the email and judge yourself. I certainly don’t see it as such. There is well established precedence where open source projects are mentioned freely including ones by the mailing list admins. I replied to Jim’s email explaining my point of view and left it at that. As much as Netcoolusers is a “community”, it is controlled by two people afaik, and there is no mechanism for due process. They make the rules and they are the judge and the jury.

    Just sigh and move on… But it didn’t end there.

    ** This is just crazy. Anyone with a project that betters someones use of this very expensive software should be allowed to participate in this mailing list. This has been taken out of context and he should be allowed to participate in the list and strongly encouraged to do so. **
