a discussion of european issues of data quality & reliability

& a sketch of a roadmap to address such

The European Commission is not interested in the best interests of Greece or Greeks. So long as Barrosso and VanRompuy spin and spin and have Sarko and Merkel onside then the European Commission can serve its own interests entirely.

The problem, right now, is that Sarko & Merkel alongside Obama and Cameron have an Economic Nightmare on their hands, their private sector economies are flatlining. Dying on the Operating Table. Isn’t it strange sometimes when you meet a senior Brussels official: they don’t seem to really know there is a serious recession outside Schuman?

Today’s economic environment is driving many enterprise IT organizations to
consolidate, that is, to reduce the numbers of vendors of different technologies and to
reduce the resources used by those technologies within their data centers. Consolidation
means different things at different levels: it can be reducing the number of physical
servers to run a given workload; it can be combining multiple data stores into a single
larger storage facility; it can be the replacement of multiple applications of redundant
functionality with a single all-encompassing solution. We look here at the opportunity for
consolidation of middleware—Java application servers and related technologies.
Consolidating or reducing the number of vendors of a given technology can significantly
improve efficiency by streamlining operations. For example, if an IT shop has more than
one type of application server, each will have its own update schedule, patching
procedures, and management practices. Consolidating to a single application server will
bring simplification and economies of scale to each of these activities.
