Author Note: This is a Teaser Post …

Lest anyone think I have forgotten about this site, or the subjects we have been addressing, fear not.  I am in the midst of brushing up two different posts that have been sitting in my “pending basket” for some time.  Both will address the assessment of data centers in general and their suitability for [...]

Author Note: Now That Spring And Summer are …

It has been a while since I’ve added any new posts but, now that Spring and Summer tasks and trips are over (mostly) I have more time to devote to this site, starting now:

First there is a brand new post. It discusses the newly realized subject of “Cumulative Recovery Time Objective“.

Author Note: DR & BC Definitions Post Updated

Thank you for your patience. The DR & BC Definitions Post, published on July 4th, has been updated to add the missing Hot-Warm-Cool-Cold Standby diagram and to clean up a few typos and “written late at night un-clarities” in the definitions. If you have any comments or suggestions please subscribe so you may add comments. [...]

Author Note: The Next Installment Is Here

It has taken a great deal of work to assemble my notes and documents from over the years to create the Disaster Recovery & Business Continuity Definitions post, just released, but I believe the effort will be more than worth it if the post helps to clear up any confusions and misunderstandings, or terms never understood, around the subject of DR and BC.

Back in February I published one on the difference [...]

Please be patient. In a short while, and over the next couple of days, I will be upgrading www.fromtheranks.com. First is the underlying architecture of the system. Then will come more cosmetic changes. If you run into issues please let me know, or try back in a short while.

Best Regards, DP Harshman

Author Note: On The Road Again …

Author Note: ISP Issues Step On Latest Posts

Due to DNS type issues, my ISP/Host has lost (again) posts and changes. This has stepped on two important posts and I believe this has also inadvertently sent out several duplicate and triplicate post notifications. My apologies. This will be corrected. Soon. … Click on the title to read more. [...]

Author Note: There Is Hope …

… that new posts will be forthcoming. The house is almost in order and readied for winter, the consulting job is going very well indeed … so … soon (though not as soon as originally anticipated) I will get back to my keyboard and continue preparing and publishing more in-depth articles on IT fundamentals.
