MY Servers

this year i installed server more than i installed pc on last year.. i take more than to install a PC because i install latest patch and updates.. i take much time at beginning so i won't have headache later.. PC problem and broke down will be lesser.. there is something that i found unhealthy in this company people tend to work hard rather than smart.. they prefer restart Server rather than find a solution to minimize Server downtime.. will a lot of new technologies and hardware price reducing it is common that server uptime should be 99.99% everywhere.. the Server uptime rate here is how much? let me calculate first.. So how to reduce Server uptime? a proper maintenance..

update to latest firmware and software updates is important because manufacturer don't come out the update just for fun.. the update will fix some of the software and hardware bugs that they found out or highlighted by end-user.. (i remember last time i bought a special com 1 to vga cable from special hardware shop to update haiya TV firmware) the next thing is to fine-tuning the Server setting to make it run faster or added stability of the Server..

after all that the next thing is doing regular maintenance on the Server.. this is by looking at the Server Event Log at least once every week to check on any error encountered by the Server and if found find a solution to quickly fix the error.. just imagine you do a proper maintenance on your car.. one day you rushing time you drive at 140km/h.. you surprised that the car is running smoothly even though the car horsepower is very little only.. then imagine you never do maintenance on your car.. then one day you drive at 135km/h.. the car broke down (ﾟｰﾟ; the same thing applied here.. if proper maintenance on the Server is done the chances of Server broke down and hang is reduced.. the Server response time might be slower but it still stable and didn't hang..
