Computers running the Mac OS and Linux are not impacted by the issue. #CrowdStrike

Considering the latest turn of events around #crowdstrike and #MSWindows, CTO's and CISO's will now have to re-consider the over reliance on MS Windows as a #OS for critical operations. Say hello to........:) #linux #BCP #redundancy #opensource #outage

I don’t hate to say: “I told you so, in the 90’s!” I used to advocate for mission critical systems to be resilient by design, by using cross platform systems, example a cluster that contains both the management and nodes to be in different OS. #multiplatform #clustering #ibm As in multiple OS (linux, windows) deployed in the nodes and to have also Multiplatform redundancy at the cluster control and network spraying levels. People don’t learn. Keep some eggs in another platform as fault tolerant redundancy by DESIGN! https://lnkd.in/ekc4NNZj
