GENERAL ISSUES IN DATA CENTER

Data Center Input/Output Performance Issues and impact

I/O Bottleneck Impacts

It should come as no surprise that businesses continue to consume and rely upon larger
amounts of disk storage. Disk storage and I/O performance fuel the hungry needs of application
striving to meet SLAs and QoS objectives. Similarly, at least for the next few of year, the current
trend of making keeping additional copies of data for regulatory compliance and business
continuance is expected to persist. These demands all add up to a need for more I/O
performance capabilities to keep up with server processor performance improvements.

Server and I/O Performance gap

The continued need for accessing more storage capacity results in an alarming trend about
the expanding gap between server processing powers. This server to I/O performance gap
has existed for several decades and continues to widen instead of improving, the net impact
is that bottlenecks associated with the server to I/O performance lapse result in lost
productivity for IT personal and customer who must wait for transaction, queries, and data
access request to be resolve.

Application Symptoms of I/O Bottlenecks

There are many application across different industries that are sensitive to timely data
access and impacted common I/O performance bottlenecks. For example, as more users
access a popular file, database table, or other stored data item, resource contention will
increase. One way resource contention manifest itself is the form of database deadlock
which translate into slower response time and lost productivity. In addition to increase
application workload, IT operational procedures to manage and protect data help to
contribute to performance bottlenecks. Data center operational procedure result in additional
file I/O scans for virus checking, database purge and maintenance, data backup,
classification, replication, data migration for maintenance and upgrades as well as data
archiving.

The Issues of Storage

Rapid data growth and increasing demand for capacity place storage at the heart of
many data center challenges. Particularly as enterprises collect and generate larger
amounts of information, understanding the issues affecting storage can lead to
significant improvements in overall data center management activity.

Data Security: A detailed look

The importance of protecting information stored in data centers has risen in prominence
alongside news of high-profile breaches. Given that it is a top priority for both regions, it
may be helpful to take a closer look at this problem in particular.Security in general has
been climbing executive agendas due to three main factors: mobile security, big data
and advanced targeted attacks.
Although not all of those issues are storage problems, the mention of big data does
corroborate the notion that expanding volume and complexity plays a role in making data
center security more stressful. In addition, the emergence of targeted attacks makes it
more important to protect data in transit, while stored on active drives and after devices
have been retired.

PLANNIG THE WORST IN DATA CENTER

Maintain an Accurate Inventory

If a system is inadvertently left out of the disaster recovery plan, other crucial system to
which its connected may be inoperable. However, testing also had involved only a small
subset of application and not the infrastructure as a whole. For example, tie-in
application such as credentialing software must be restored and working properly to
enable physician names to appear in clinical application. Ensuring that all system are
documented and tested is paramount.

Consider Off-Site Options

When natural disaster strike, on-site data centers can become damaged or inaccessible.
To combat this likelihood, experts says more health care organization are moving data
backup off site and even across the country to potentially safer location. For example,
we do a backup which is we have two on site data center in separate buildings on our
campus with real-time data replication between the two to help protect against hardware
failure.

Monitor Data Backup

Ensure that the backup is functional and includes correct and complete data. The
backup way is important to recover all data and information in Data center. We need to
backup the data in every hours to make sure all data in good condition and safe. So that,
the data is always safe and user easy to access it. When the data is corrupted and there
are no backup, its not going good for you.

Accessibility
A disaster recovery plan is effective only if employees can gain easy access. To recover
all the information and data we must keeping multiple copies in secure locations and
ensuring the plan clearly identifies priorities IT system that must be recovered first. Many
application may not require immediate restoration because they dont affect operation.
