The Advantages and Pitfalls of Data Centre ConsolidationDAYWATCHER.COM
Multiple and redundant data centers are common in many organisations. While a certain amount of data centre redundancy provides for disaster recovery and business continuity, what needs to be considered is the significant cost involved in maintaining this additional infrastructure, which in most cases are
A virtual datacenter provider’s facilities are powered by a robust cloud infrastructure. Its resources (like compute, memory, storage and
bandwidth) are customized to cater to enterprise business needs.
A virtual data center (DC) facility is typically a pool of cloud-enabled IT infrastructure wherein resources are specifically designed to cater to distinct business requirements in a safe and secured environment.
NEC Backup as a Service reduces administrative tasks, helping it departments...InteractiveNEC
Cloud solutions continue to grow not only in adoption but also in importance in customer IT strategies. In typical risk-averse practices, cloud solutions were initially used near the fringes of IT environments, delivering test and development functions far outside most of the core mission-critical workloads sustaining internal and external business operations. Likewise, customers in regulated industries such as healthcare or government were initially wary of the security and performance of services delivered from third-party data centers. These dynamics are changing rapidly, however, as both the customer and vendor behavior around cloud have matured considerably. Cloud providers have expanded their data center locations, added almost every flavor of regulatory compliance, and enhanced security capabilities. These developments have dramatically lowered the traditional barriers to cloud adoption, allowing customers in almost any industry to have at least the possibility of deploying most of their workloads through cloud delivery methods.
The fast growth of global business establishments and the stiff competition prevalent in the business environment demands business continuity irrespective of the time differences across geographically distant locations.
The Cloud Computing model is replacing the traditional IT model for many organizations that have not been able to keep up with the tremendous rate at which technology is changing, the challenges of disparate IT systems inherited through acquisitions and mergers, and decreasing internal resources available for IT commitment.
Cloud Computing models range from public cloud services that bill companies for access to IT infrastructure; the private cloud provider that hosts resources for the sole use of its own organization; dedicated external hosting to non-shared resources; and hybrid hosting, a mixed solution of cloud computing and dedicated hosting.
Schneider Electric consulting experts use their Cloud Assessment Checklist to help potential clients identify the computer services needs that best meet their IT challenges. It is not uncommon to find that an organization would optimize operation with a hybrid hosting solution in which a secure, single-tenant database would be stored with a dedicated host and the front-end would be hosted in the public cloud. Similarly, cloud bursting functionality enables the organization to automatically deploy new applications within the public cloud as needed. Such hybrid hosting models allow scaling capability to accommodate an increase in the number of users in the organization and meet peak traffic demand.
Careful examination of business and security characteristics can determine the proper cloud and hosting model that meets the needs of any particular enterprise and, as a result, help increase the organization’s IT capabilities and productivity while adding value to the business.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck

Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

Professionals, Space and Energy Constraints, and
availability challenge are a few among them. What is the
solution? In this whitepaper, let us analyse the challenges
in managing in-house Mainframe Data Center and how
outsourcing serves as one of the best business solutions for
addressing these challenges.’’

Mainframe Data Center Management - Outsourcing
Several organizations across the globe
heavily depend on Mainframe systems
for running their mission critical and
large-scale business operations.
Mainframe systems are still the most
reliable & scalable platform for modern
Data Center. The unmatched features
of reliability, availability and
serviceability make Mainframes a hub
for enterprise computing. Small,
medium and large business enterprises
are now utilizing the high-end
functionality of Mainframes for
meeting the day-to-day requirements in
emerging markets. The current reality
is that Mainframe system has become
an active participant in business
services. The relevance of Big Iron in
modern Data Centers is increasing as
IBM introduces new Mainframe models
connecting latest technologies like
virtualization, SOA, cloud computing
etc.
Organizations are looking for new ways
and means to leverage the potential of
changing technological aspects. With
the introduction of these new
technological changes in Data Centers,
the complexities of managing an in-
house Mainframe Data Center are
increasing day by day. In-house
management of a Mainframe Data
Center is becoming a matter of concern
for many enterprises. Various factors
contribute to the challenges in
managing in-house Mainframe Data
Center. Increasing cost concerns, lack
of competent professionals, mounting
energy and cooling costs, space
constraints and availability challenges
are but a few of them. As Data Center
management is the ‘heart and soul’ of
IT operations, let us have a closer look,
to understand what contributes to
these complexities and how to
overcome these challenges.
In-house Mainframe Data Center

Availability
3. Budgetary challenges
Business always demands more to do
with less.
Capital expenditures are under stern
scrutiny. Setting up an organization's
in-house Mainframe Data Center
involves huge amount of capital cost.
As Mainframes come with a hefty price
tag, these systems are hard to afford for
SME’s. Other costs for hardware,
power, and cooling equipment also add
to the cost. The day-to-day use of
power and cooling equipment
contributes to the recurring operational
and maintenance expenditure. The
hardware, software, licensing and
resource cost are critical and
unavoidable elements for managing a
Data Center.
Scarcity of Mainframe Professionals
One of the biggest challenges with
Mainframe based Data Centers is the
shortage of qualified and skilled
Mainframe professionals. It has become
extremely difficult to find and replace
Mainframe professionals with deep
experience in handling DB2, CICS,
z/OS and other IMS environments. At a
time when most of the fortune 500
companies have an in-house Mainframe
setup, the Mainframe industry is
expected to face a skill gap after the
retirement of current Mainframe staff.
Scarcity of competent professionals is
posing a serious challenge to the
smooth functioning of a Mainframe
Data Center. Mainframe oriented
training in University curricula’s and
organizations are difficult to find.
Many companies take the best and
brightest Windows and UNIX
professionals and entice them into the
Mainframe. This method probably be a
good idea but there is a big doubt on
this method of developing resources,
for the fact that the whole idea is to
save time and money to focus on the
core business.
Energy and Space Constraints
Energy and space are two major
constraints for enterprises housing
Mainframe Data Centers. The volume
of IT infrastructure has now started to
exceed the available Data Center floor
space of several global enterprises
leading to more power and cooling
requirements. Rising power costs and
availability of uninterrupted power
source are major concerns for the
enterprise executives. Organizations
are forced to introduce green IT
initiatives to reduce the carbon
footprint and to drive down the budget
gaps.
Availability Challenges
Business growth and success largely
depend on continuous availability of IT
services. Mainframe systems support
mission critical businesses like finance,
banking, insurance etc. All these
business sectors demand maximum
availability of services with minimum
down time. In such a scenario, planned
or unplanned Data Center outages can
create serious consequences to these
business sectors. Also, 24/7/365
availability requirements for Data
Centers have become great challenges
for the organizations. An in- house
4. Mainframe DCM Outsourcing
Maintec Technologies Inc. Page 4
managed Mainframe Data Center with
minimum downtime requires skilled
resources to work 24/7/365 with an
efficient process in place. Quite a lot of
enterprises are now having difficulty in
sourcing competent resources to work
in graveyard shifts (night and weekend
shifts) for their Mainframe Data Center.
This also brings in additional liability
for the employer in terms of employee
remuneration.
How outsourcing can address Mainframe Data Center challenges effectively?
Outsourcing is gaining more
momentum, among the global business
enterprises, as a viable approach to deal
with the Data Center challenges.
Organisations are becoming more
comfortable with the idea of offloading
their Data Center functions to expert
third parties. Earlier, noncore service
like business processes used to be
outsourced to external service
providers. However, with the advent of
globalization, organizations are now
adopting sourcing models from diverse
geographical locations for their core as
well as non-core services. Mainframe
Data Center service providers offer
outsourcing services in various business
models by way of – (a) hosting client’s
Mainframe environment in the service
provider’s location, (b) managing the
client’s Mainframe environment
remotely and (c) time-sharing option
provided by the vendor. In short,
outsourcing helps organizations largely
in reducing the current Mainframe
costs, obtaining higher levels of
expertise, achieving more
responsiveness and access to more
sophisticated administration and
maintenance procedures. Outsourcing
of Data Center management to a
reliable service provider is thus
considered as one of the most viable
option considering all the technical and
business challenges we discussed
above.

Benefits of outsourcing Mainframe Data Center Management
Cost
All the talk about costs brought the
question of budget planning to the fore.
IT Budget planning is no more a yearly
exercise.
Per a fresh study done by DmandGen,
today’s CIO’s and CTO’s have learnt to
determine the potential impact through
other adopters and business case made
for early adoption of a new strategy
that demonstrate clear ROI and
approve budgets despite being initially
unbudgeted.
One of the primary benefits from
outsourcing Data Center operations to
an external service provider is the cost
saving on Total Cost of Ownership.
Outsourcing helps SME’s to leverage
the potential of Mainframe systems
without spending heavily, for setting up
and maintaining the hardware
infrastructure. In addition to this, the
client organizations can save costs
largely on software, human resource,
energy etc.
Pay only for what you Use
Outsourcing helps client organizations
to avoid bulk initial investments and
additional cost for maintaining Data
Center operations. They can avail the
benefits of the service via ‘pay as you
go’ model, avoiding additional
overhead costs.
Access to skilled Mainframe
professionals
Outsourcing helps organizations
reduce the overhead of recruiting
skilled Mainframe resources. A right
outsourcing partner brings in qualified
and trained Mainframe professionals
for carrying out the client’s Data Center
operations efficiently.
Access to efficient infrastructure
By outsourcing Data Center
management to a competent service
provider, organizations get access to
best of breed Mainframe infrastructure
without actually owning it. In addition,
up-gradation and maintenance for the

Energy and space savings
Outsourcing brings in great energy and
space savings for the client
organizations. Vendors setup the
infrastructure, power and cooling
facilities according to the client’s Data
Center requirements. In the age of
green initiatives, outsourcing in-house
Mainframe Data Center operations to
an external service provider makes real
business sense.
Focus
By Outsourcing Data Center operations
to a reliable external service provider,
organizations can shift their core focus
to other innovative and growth
oriented aspects of the business.
Outsourcing avoids overhead tensions
of setting up and maintaining a Data
Center in-house.
Business continuity
When the world is going through
various environmental disasters like
hurricanes, Flash floods, Storms and
Tornadoes, some of which are
predicted and many unpredicted, Data
Center outsourcing has become a part
of business continuity and disaster
recovery plans of global enterprises.
Disaster recovery plans set by reliable
Data Center service providers offer
business continuity, for the client’s
Mainframe environment, at the time of
any unpredictable disasters.
24*7*365 availability
Outsourcing helps to achieve 24/7/365
‘follow the sun’ availability of services
for client organizations. Graveyard shift
