Great advice, thanks. I am one of those developers who chases after "a 5-nines available strategy with sub-milisecond RTO and RPO" - because that's what the suits want, and I get treated like an idiot in meetings where I say it's not possible/not cost-effective.
And, y'know, because it would be really cool if I managed to ;-)
- nickpsecurity 11y agoTry this. Tell them there are three models that regularly achieved five 9's with low latency for over a decade each. Each with clustered or HA configuration over dedicated lines. List them as such: 1. IBM mainframes. 2. HP NonStop systems. 3. OpenVMS clusters on SMP machines. Give them the prices of systems and rare labor for each. Then, show them the price of a three to four 9's solution with Linux that has three to four less 0's. Mention how many extra bonuses, err business investments, they could make with such savings. At this point, they might treat you like an idiot for not buying the cheaper route. Maybe even enthusiastic about your business savvy approach. ;)
