Websites crawling is not new to Indians but website crashing is a new phenomenon.

As Airlines globally crash or survive by mergers or filing bankruptcy it is time for them to cut flab in their technology costs.

Airlines for one can start porting their booking portals to the cloud, this will at least ensure that the crashes in their websites are reduced with better infrastructure though the risk of poor design and coding can also bring down their websites.

Let us assume that the design and coding are good, then the best way to prevent denial of service is a resilient and rapidly scale-able infrastructure for the airlines computing.

Cloud Computing can also add on more security and reliability and help the airlines to meet their customer's expectation for a reliable online experience.

The bonus will also be a more secure infrastructure and significant cost savings.

Top 10 Changes in the Workplace - Impact of COVID-19

A lot has been said about what’s happening with the impact of Covid, on the workplace. Many of these are hard to imagine and some will require serious consideration. Nevertheless, my 20 years plus background in IT, Operations and Consulting across BCP, Security, Projects and Leadership makes me believe the following are what we can be looking forward to (at varying levels) over the next couple of years. Please leave a comment and I would love to hear your thoughts and comments too! 1. Disinfection Chambers - You would have to walk into the office through disinfection chambers, entry into the chamber would be post facial and iris recognition for 2 factor biometric contactless authentication.
