RE: Career Advice Sought



Another area to consider would be capacity planning in the distributed
environment. With the proliferation of servers many companies are
trying to figure out how to reduce that. If you have any experience in
the field in the mainframe environment it would be transferable to the
distributed environment.

I have to agree with Ken's post, Eric - remember that in a lot of ways,
what the server farms are learning to do, you've already done for years;

the RAS attitude is definitely transferable, especially in the DR /
Business Continuity area, also in the area of operational automation:
with the large number of servers, automating how things go daily is a
challenge I'm sure... I am, as are many of us, spoiled by the 'set it
and
forget it' way of the mainframe where you can set up a process and it's
still working 3 decades later (recently had to review one of these!).
