Booking a vacation is now easier than ever – Internet allows you to do it any time of the day or night, compare choices and then make an informed decision, and most importantly – sort out the vacation instantly and hassle-free.

You no longer have to physically go from one travel agency to another, coordinate your schedule with their business hours, gather paper brochures and spend days or even months choosing your destination. As time is the most precious asset to anyone today, online businesses – if managed properly – are the biggest time-saver for users. And when we say “if managed properly”, we mean websites that in addition to having a great design, useful and regularly updated content and are user-friendly, are also up and running 24/7. Needless to say, if a website with sharp design and content is slow or down, it is of absolutely no use to anyone, and it could spoil the users’ experience to such an extent that they may never come back to it.

In-browser monitoring is one of the newest and most accurate monitoring tools out there today. The question for most people, of course, is what is this new technology and what makes it so extraordinary compared to the monitoring solutions of years past?

In-browser monitoring solutions are designed to keep an eye of web transactions and applications, and the way that they are designed is very unique. Companies can enjoy 24/7 remote monitoring support so that they always have an idea of how their system is functioning and where their performance is at. The secret to this unique solution is that it tracks things from an end-user perspective. That means it shows the company what the customer sees, allowing them to make changes and improvements or fix issues as necessary.

Today's business relies on technology more than ever. This is no longer a luxury, but a critical piece of the business and all technological tools need to be operating at peak performance for a business to be able to maximize its operation and sales. The problem is that technology doesn't always work like it should. When it's good, it's great. When something goes wrong, though, it can become a nightmare. Servers are a big deal in business. These are the items that hold all of your business's operational information and technology. The servers host your network and your computer system. Essentially, they're the foundation of your entire computer framework. Without them, you don't have a network.

What Are We Going To Do When a Server Goes Down?

When a server goes down, a lot of things can happen. First, you panic. Everyone does. It's a natural response because you've become so accustomed to your technology that not having it leaves you crippled and unsure of how to react. Once you collect yourself, you can start to troubleshoot the problem and see what's gone wrong. Companies that have a technical support team are definitely in a better position because they will take the reins and resolve the issues. Of course, even without a team you can still get to the bottom of the issue.

Connecting people to the internet creates more potential users of various web-based services, and more internet users would, in turn, create more potential customers for online marketplaces and more business-based need for online advertising.  More than half the world's population does not use the internet, especially in developing nations and emerging markets, and Google plans to change that by the end of the decade.  Naturally Google would want more businesses to opt in to Google's online advertising, as the search engine behemoth currently derives 87% of its over $50,000,000,000 in total annual revenue from selling online advertisements.  (That would be fifty billion dollars; the zeroes were added for the "wow" factor to emphasize Google's obscene yearly revenue.)

Eric Schmidt, Chairman of Google, stated in a tweet on April 13th, "For every person online, there are two that are not.  By the end of the decade, everyone on Earth will be connected."  While some view this tweet as inexplicable and mysteriously directed at Google's secret laboratory's future-tech projects and goals, others see it as a prelude to Google's goal to encircle the globe with zeppelins much more benign than those deployed by the Third Reich.  The search engine giant's recent high-altitude technological endeavors only serve to underscore the company's apparent aim of having control over every aspect of a person's connection to the internet on a global scale.
