What IT Leaders Can Learn from Facebook's Extreme Data Center Test

How to Verify Your Data Backup Actually Worked

Thoughts after a 6.1 Shaker + The 7 Rules of BCDR
The dust has almost settled after the recent “shaker” – or an earthquake in our Californian slang – gladly, this time without casualties, serious injuries, with only minor property damage. Considering the area – Napa Valley, the Wine Country, delicate wine bottles don’t tolerate earthquakes well, but the damage was mostly “sentimental”.

How IT Managers Find Talent and Avoid Resume Liars
When it comes to applying for jobs, many people are guilty of embellishing their resumes, but a new survey shows that information technology job seekers are especially likely to fluff up their skills.
