Giants Suffering Through Power Outage
2008-08-13 06:16:00 It was no secret coming into the year that the 2008 San Francisco Giants were going to have to beat you with small ball, pitching and defense. However, as we approach mid-August, I don't think anyone expected the Giants to be quite as much of a soft hitting club they've been. Through Tuesday, the Giants sit dead last in all of baseball in home runs, and it's not even close. The Giants have hit only 64 home runs through the seasons first 118 games which is 16 below the next lowest team (Blue Jays). I'm not trying to say that if you don't hit home runs, you won't win games, but I am trying to point out that it's tough to generate runs when your team has substantially less power than every other team in the league. Two guys who have been in a huge power drought this season are Randy Winn and Bengie Molina. Neither are your prototypical number 3 or 4 hitter, but Winn, who's averaged about 14 homers a year over the last 5 seasons, has only 5 this year. Molina, who had 19 in each ...

The power outage parlor game
2008-06-06 12:48:00 As you may have guessed from reading the hopelessly out of date weather warnings remain up over the past several days, the DCAbloob homestead was knocked out by a power outage. From about 3:15 p.m. Wednesday to 3:15 a.m. Friday (excluding a half hour Thursday evening), your friendly neighborhood blogmaster has learned the "joys" of listening to the world go by via portable radio without being able to comment on anything.My own favorite power outage parlor game was to continually calculate just what percentage of people who has lost electricity had it restored before yours truly. It went from 50% restoration by daybreak Thursday to about 70% by a heat filled Thursday evening before the power briefly came on at 7:45 p.m. Of course, that restoration was just to jerk me around as it went right back off at 8:15 p.m.Finally, power was restored for good (I hope) at about 3:15 a.m. Friday morning. By my own rough calculation, 83% of the PEPCO Customers who has lost power were restored bef...

ITIL Service Outage Analysis (SOA) in 7 Steps
2008-04-30 10:08:00 By Hank Marquis, www.itsmsolutions.com The full article can be found here. The IT Infrastructure Library (ITIL) refers to Service or Systems Outage Analysis (SOA) as a method to improve availability. Unfortunately, the ITIL does not indicate how one actually performs SOA! This article explains the benefits of SOA, and gives you a 7-step guide to performing SOA. The objective of SOA is to reduce the frequency and duration of outages while improving Mean Time To Repair (MTTR). The result of SOA is clear exposure of the risk of future outages, as well as recommendations for improvement. SOA is a powerful technique that requires no major investment in tools or training. The process is straightforward. Working with Problem Management and Customers, you examine past outages and identify related Configuration Items (products, people or process). Then you review the impact of the organization and infrastructure on availability. To get started, collect outage data, and assemble a team of peo...

AMAZON CTO ON AWS OUTAGE: LIKE YOU CAN DO BETTER?
2008-03-28 01:07:00 On February 15 this year, Amazon S3, the "cloud" storage service that's part of the Amazon Web Services suite of infrastructure applications, failed. Web 2.0 entrepreneurs who had been attracted to AWS based on its promised reliability and low cost had their confidence shaken. Several lost revenue when the service seized up. Last week at the Under the Radar conference, Amazon CTO Werner Vogels sat down to an interview with Robert Scoble. The discussion of course came around to the S3 outage, and Vogels explained what happened. It was, he says, a "provisioning" and "logical" problem. Translated: They didn't program S3 to handle the load they got. It has since been fixed. Amazon also recently upgraded its hosted computing service, EC2. But while Vogels expressed unhappiness at the outage, he also believes that Amazon's cloud services are still more reliable than any collection of servers a budding Web start-up could marshal. While that may be true, that's not what companies who ...

RIM Reports "Critical" BlackBerry Outage
2008-02-12 05:20:00 A major outage hit BlackBerry users in North America on Monday afternoon, cutting off wireless e-mail for everyone from busy executives to political campaign staff on the eve of three U.S. presidential primaries.The problem, which BlackBerry owner Research In Motion described as a "critical severity outage" affecting users in the Americas, once again raised concerns about the stability of the e-mail service 10 months after a widespread crash last April.Carmi Levy, senior vice-president of strategic consulting at AR Communications, said reliability is a serious concern for companies like RIM because if problems become routine, they can drive customers away."It's a big issue and it's a growing issue," Levy said, adding that huge outages could prove to be "a major Achilles' heel" for RIM.RIM's U.S. shares fell as much as 1.3 percent on the news, after closing up 5.3 percent in regular Nasdaq trade. On the Toronto Stock Exchange, the shares finished the day C$4.73 higher at C$94.62....
