Centralization and Management Comes With CLI 

CLI delivers the success story for many fortune 100 customers who has security regulatory mandates and 24/7 demanding workflow. Enterprise chooses CLI because they understand the value CLI delivers

• Built to the need
• Built to protect

Enterprise not necessary all go with virtualzation or cloud computing at first. With the hardware aquisition from CLI, the easy management experience is unprecedented commented by many seasoned IT professionals.The reliability, performance and security inherently depend on the corporation's specific implementation, configuration and ability to properly manage the environment and quickly respond to Tier 1, Tier 2 and Tier 3 network outages.

Even the most reliable server operating system and hardware platform will fall prey to outages and fail if it is misconfigured and mismanaged. There are inherent dependencies between the underlying capabilities of a particular server operating system and an individual corporation's ability to adhere to best deployment practices with respect to training, testing and configuration. Don't let your server operating system environment be undone by a bad configuration, lack of integration and interoperability with pivotal hardware or applications. Likewise, businesses must pay close attention to other factors that may adversely impact performance and reliability such as the use of incompatible or unapproved memory and logic chips, hardware, peripherals and software drivers. Yankee Group strongly advises corporate customers to:

• Buy the most robust hardware configuration your budget will allow. This will help to ensure that the underlying server can adequately handle the OS and application workloads. To achieve optimal performance from both the server and the accompanying OS, corporations must ensure that the server hardware is robust enough to carry both the current and anticipated workloads for the lifecycle of both.
• Consider virtualization. When properly configured and deployed, a virtual data center can help a firm consolidate its resources and provide it with four times the computer power for the cost of a single server license.
• Strictly adhere to best practices. Thoroughly review and adhere to your vendors' list of approved, compatible hardware, software and applications. Don't let your administrators be cowboys or iconoclasts. Many network administrators who are highly proficient on a singular software or hardware platform and product feel that it's acceptable to bend the rules and turbo charge the product by overclocking the server, tinkering around in the server OS registry and rearchitecting the machine or the OS. This can lead to serious reliability problems.
• Get the appropriate training and recertification for your IT administrators and engineers. There are no shortcuts or silver bullets and there is no substitute for a well-trained staff when it comes to achieving and maintaining maximum uptime and health of your network.
• Crack down on rogue developers. Software developers are in a class by themselves. By virtue of their specialized knowledge and their close, quantifiable ties to the revenue stream, software developers will often flout the rules and conventions and ignore company policies and procedures. Do not allow this.
• Perform regular asset management testing. Corporations should schedule regular asset management reviews on a yearly, biannually or quarterly basis as necessary. Knowing what's on your network will help your firm lower its TCO by remaining compliant with software licensing contracts. It will also keep the firm current on the various versions of software present on the network and enable the IT department to better plan the`time`and the extent of network upgrades. Asset management checks also ensure that companies are better equipped to meet their SLA requirements to maintain optimal performance and uptime.
• Keep your software updated with the latest necessary patches and upgrades. Research which patches are crucial and should be installed immediately, and which ones your organization can do without. Construct and adhere to a regular schedule to apply patches, preferably on a monthly basis.
• Standardize the environment to the greatest possible extent. Yankee Group survey data indicates that standardization--following a prescribed configuration and version for the company's hardware, software and network infrastructure components--can lower TCO costs by 15%. Standardization benefits all users, including organizations that have custom configurations.
• Customized server OS environments require expert administrators. Corporations considering a custom Linux distribution are well advised to seek out and hire experts. Alternatively, businesses should employ the services of a respected systems integrator or outsourcer with the appropriate expertise.
• Regularly monitor server OS usage, reliability and security levels. Network administrators and VPs of IT should require network managers to compile statistics--either weekly or monthly reports--on the duration and severity of server operating system downtime; a breakdown of the Tier 1, Tier 2 and Tier 3 outages, the`time`it took to recover from those failures; and the number of work hours and administrators needed to bring the server back up and the cost of the outage.
• Make an informed decision on whether apply patches manually or automatically via Group Policy. Companies should also regularly review whether it is feasible for the firm to migrate away from manual patch management and when it makes sense to manually patch their server operating systems.
