Availability!Good wordClearly a good , if not great, goalNever mind replication…Let’s just make sure that the System,

the Infrastructure and the Application stay UP!Cost?

Bad wordCost associated with keeping the application availableCost associated with down-time

What would we (Should we) like?Monitoring – keep an eye on itRemote monitoring – in line with every trend just now

Easy commsLower costDeferred risk

Why should we like it?Still the cheapest and easiest way to give more availabilityProper recording and analysis gives recursive

improvementsClear evidence base for justifying enhancement

Do it yourself!Get a monitor

Open systems, tricky but comprehensiveSystem i based, slick but can be expensive

Get a Ticket systemOpen systems and web basedRemedy (Ouch!)

Why should you do it at all?It is reasonably easy to doThe information is invaluable

Matrix

It is provenHey (Hej) it already exists! (in Sweden)It has many levelsIt does not conflict with Lawson (or anyone)
