High Availability for SMBs - easy and cheap


The competition is getting bigger, small and medium businesses rely on being more efficient. A high availability infrastructure is therefore the most important requirement to be able to function competitively. What high availability means exactly what systems are affected, what can IT do to make your failsafe and what it costs, you will learn in our on-demand webcast from October 25. Answers to your questions in our high-availability of experts Birkner Collax Falk.System failures can quickly get expensive for companies. Even an hour of downtime can translate into a medium size company (500 employees) based on the industry, with amounts up to 18,000 euros. Especially small and medium enterprises to promote the issue remains in the background. This can avoid unnecessary costs, while taking care of the least critical systems are failsafe and high availability. That high-availability solutions should not be more expensive and complex, shown in our webcast.Birkner Falk GmbH is explained by the Collax comply, among other things, the demands of a modern IT infrastructure for small and medium enterprises should. Then the states can be formed based on technologies of virtualization and high availability also safe and affordable infrastructure that can be implemented easily and quickly, requires little administrative effort and also enables maintenance without downtime.That the appropriate products to implement this type of architecture to cost a fortune, Falk Birkner Collax an example of V-Family. With Collax V-Cube as server virtualization, Collax V Inter-cluster management and Collax V-store as an integrated storage solution allows small and medium enterprises to build a secure and affordable. Virtualization, clustering and high availability in a solution are summarized and available on request, a device, and ideally in a day, ready to use.Mr. Birkner answer your questions during the broadcast on the subject.

SOCRATES

His lifeSocrates was a Greek philosopher who lived during the period of about 469-399 BC and is regarded as the founder of independent philosophical ethics. His philosophy has influenced the development of Western Europe a lot.Born in Athens. His parents were the builders and the midwife Phainarete Sophroniscus. His career came in the form of ancient classical literature of Socrates, music, gymnastics, rhetoric, dialectic of the Sophists, and studied the writings of other Greek philosophers, who fell in the period after the Persian wars. After a time the profession of his father had served, served as an infantryman during the Peloponnesian War, where he was in the battles of Potidaea (432-430 BC), Delio (424 BC) and Amphipolis (422 BC) better . It was assumed that later in his life several political offices, as the Defender of Ratausschuss to the commander of the naval battle Arginusae who could not organize funerals for the dead on the coast, had dressed.Socrates taught in the public square of Athens Greek children their own philosophy, which he held talks with them. For blasphemy ("EuropaBio") and the seduction of youth, was sentenced to death 399 BC.

Their philosophyIn general, dealt with philosophical ethics. Assumed, which were hidden in each person the same rational understanding and the same definition of certain areas, namely, justice, virtue and self-knowledge. The core of his theory of knowledge is thus the question of the good ("Agathon") and virtue ("arete") for happiness ("eudaimonia") of lead. Their incentive is the first time in the Socrates of the oracle at Delphi inscription reads: "Know thyself." The Greek understanding of virtue is one thing that is only appropriate if they are not bad, but uses essentially correct. It is contained in the soul of man.Objective of Socrates was to bring specific questions and answers, its own method of procedure development elenktischen this to light. This will be the following: Socrates asks his interlocutor a question. This responds to your knowledge and apparent false consciousness that is out of concern for foreign goods, which is absolute in their perceptions. With its philosophy of perception relative (concern for the soul: "epimeleia") refutes the view of Socrates. In this way, the other recognizes its own understanding is incorrect and is a loss and despair ("aporia"). Socrates asks the question again to appeal to their desire to keep learning and keep studying. This reflects the desire of knowledge, Socrates gives you the "Logos", for the reason, the possibility of talks to find a way out of their current situation for self-knowledge.Unlike the Sophists, Socrates tried not to influence people through persuasion and deception, but I wanted to achieve, which came from his own conviction that true knowledge: all virtuosos is right, everything was vicious shameful. Any other view is not put up against the Logos, and would not be justifiable. This form is used to discuss the matron of his mother by his philosophy, which means it could help people find the knowledge and could not anticipate the outcome. This approach is "maieutics" called. He argued that people who have recognized what is right or wrong, they act properly. Self-knowledge, is equally effective under the background that only virtue is useful. Those who do not realize what is right or wrong, agree only because of ignorance or knowledge shameful farce. A quote from Socrates says: "No one does it voluntarily (knowingly) wrong?"



Their trialAs mentioned earlier, Socrates and Youth for blasphemy was sentenced seduction. So the alleged blasphemy is due, is also questionable after. It is believed that he introduced a new god, the inner voice, the "daimon" should embody.A strong hypothesis for seduction of youth is based on a political level. Some students of Socrates named Alcibiades, Critias and Charmides were after the defeat of Athens in 404 BC the Thirty Tyrants, who were opposed to democracy and wanted to Athens depends on Sparta. When the Democrats won power again, classifieds, eviction of Socrates as a. Undemocratic and dangerous, and complained thatThe current process is due to the fact that Socrates made many enemies with his opinion, especially the politicians did. The accused from office by right of birth, financial status, or national election you have purchased, but without comprehension.

His deathWhen Socrates 399 BC by a slim majority of blasphemy and seduction of the young woman was found guilty, the court submitted to the offensive, which proposed to pay for their freedom, a small amount given, which corresponds to the value of a philosopher for the state. Then the body was so outraged that almost all condemned him to death. While his friends wanted to release him from prison, Socrates was before, to die for their ideals rather than away from it and therefore, acquiesce to the death penalty. His last hours spent with his family at night and drank the hemlock, a poison potion. Therefore, bowed to the law and makes up his last moments of his philosophy.

YourHe was a man of relatively small stature, which is often described as unattractive. However, he had a lot of assertiveness, which was based on his strong belief in himself and his strong wit. He also had a great sense of humor of philosophers.

His wife XanthippeXanthippe should have been much younger than Socrates. With him had three children: Lamprokles, Sophroniscus and Menexenus. It was considered very controversial. She would have taken several times by Socrates in public places with a request that should pay more attention to the welfare of his family and make money, because Socrates did not demand money for their education, as the Sophists. In Xenophon, a disciple of Plato, was again the only test that the wife of Socrates.

Their descendants, the propertyfor our worldSocrates himself has published articles on philosophy, but transmitted orally to their students. His students have included major Plato, Antisthenes, Euclid of Megara, Aristepis, Phaedo of Elis and Xenophon. Most of the information by Plato were preserved for posterity, it is believed, however, who used the name of Socrates, by his own philosophy. This has been the author of several works of Socrates' life and knowledge, reproduction, such as "Socratic dialogues", "The cloud of Aristophanes", the "Apology" and the dialogue "Phaedo." The "Socratic dialogues" to describe the actions of Socrates, the question and answer session with the object of right knowledge. Appeals to the strengths of your partner, by and subordinated to pretend as if he is ignorant of himself ("I know that I know nothing!"). "Aristophanes 'Clouds' is a comedy that presents Socrates as a sophist. The "Apology" are the essential points of his defense speech again and "Phaedo", collects data on their last hours and death.His keen sense of humor was Soren Kierkegaard, the ability to cope with Socratic irony.Your friends and Aristiphos Antisthenes, who were heavily influenced by Socrates then develop the Socratic schools. Antisthenes created the school of the Cynics, a school of Cyrenaics Aristiphos. Cynics renounced in the strictest form of materials, external goods Cyrenaics raised the happiness of the driving force behind human action. This later led to the teachings of Epicurus. Many Stoics like Epictetus, a Greek philosopher, Seneca, Roman philosopher, Marcus Aurelius, Roman emperor saw Socrates as his role model. With the same general definitions and rational Socrates has explained, this is a student of Plato, Aristotle, namely, who wrote and illustrated.

Conclusion

 
In general we can say that the teachings of Socrates made a strong impact on our day and the foundation of many other philosophical currents are formed.Ümit ErsözlüDecember 1999
