Critical elements of IT infrastructure, software as well as IoT

We have to admit. The business of IT is business. Everytime we refer to IT we are definitely talking, working and managing on business infrastructure. 

The critical elements of business infrastructure that is the subject of this blog post must be dealt with caution from the prospect and vista of, most especially in organization where responsibility purely lies on, technology leader and its team. Of course, vendors must be concerned as well for business sake but it's not really their main job to do so.

This is significant where technology team must translate business needs to business operating reality. With their vendors, and external advisor, if any, technical team must remain circumspect and do whatever they have to in order to determine that their next move is all about enabling their company's business. This must be a clear focus.

Technical team then must have been able to exhaust the existing capabilities of their technology and what else they can make to improve its state, and what limitations and problems they are trying to solve when they plan to acquire and build their new enterprise technology. 

We have mentioned vendors, which are owners, manufacturers and developers of solutions in this context and this is as important as maintaining a solid and final build of a technology for production use by business customers and subscribers. Nowadays, vendors are really stacking up their support capability by building on top of their technology some form of mechanisms applying newer and effective technologies i.e. IoT protocols, to maximize such opportunity to help their customers quickly and directly resolve any technology-related issues. While this may really shorten response time in many instances, some businesses, and that's with technology team, may prefer to still have full control on their system, in particular the critical administrative access, privileges and settings.

Meaning such capabilities can still be provisioned but it must not be assumed that they are as practical as the technology team's ability to watch and operate a fully functioning, with a much more predictable, enterprise technology. It could be possible to provision it and let the customer's technology team to activate and administer them. And when help is badly needed, those technical mechanisms can be used, with caution, and still with their approval to be enabled, either temporarily or until some time while system behavior is being observed further, which you may see where this is going. Do you see it?

This scenario alone could make, and continue to function as expected, or break the production system of any organization.

Philippine telcos blocking entire SMS text with internet addresses in it

If you are sending SMS texts to your friends, family or colleagues and they contain internet or web address including IP and email addresses, and even a period or dot separating, regardless of, your words and numbers, they are automatically blocked and not going to be received by your waiting recipient. Cooler heads must prevail here especially if an important message is urgently being expected. IP version 6 address is fine. However, an IPv4 including localhost address (given automatically to every computers and network interfaces as their own alone designed for troubleshooting purposes), and your money in the billion figure using dot as separators would be blocked.  If you send "local.business, naman.naman etcetera" or any words that made you use dot in between them, as part of the text, they will be blocked. There are some, that isn't blocked in this category. Like check.iclassed, some.ent, whatever.local etcetera, that is because they do not form any domain name at all...

Jobs we observed in a system performance

They are made either any of the following- - Tech job, - Business job, - Nut job, or - Enterprise job. What's yours? Can you do it better from your existing drive? Whatever you do, your output should facilitate not just your organization's goal but a little more than what you originally planned. Leaders usually kept them in the mind, so subtle only them knows it, but with some useful and delicate strategies employed people really are doing a good job, and working to improve them, too. That's the beginning why corporate social responsibility, or even the consequential environmental, social and governance initiatives can be a potent move to do something, if pertinent or weighty is even the right word. That doesn't need an ostentatious resources but the effect is meaningful for stakeholders, everyone we meant.

How functional and secure AES is

How functional and secure AES is? The Philippine electorate will once again go to polls and decide who will lead the nation in the next six years of their lives. This important event which will elect new president, vice president and 12 senators for national posts, and seats are also being contested for provincial, city and municipal levels, is expected to be counted unofficially in 24 hours, concluded or canvassed officially in a few days or so but authorities and observers expected it to be done in less than a week. Last presidential election, it was known three days after close of election precincts. This is especially true for nation states, not only the Philippines, that conducts their elections using automated election or computerized-and-networked voting systems. In PH, the past automated elections were encumbered with technical issues and fraudulent results, uttered and written everywhere by many concerned and affected individuals and institutions alike. This time, we could say...
