International Journal of Business Information Systems (IJBIS), Vol. 25, No. 3, 2017

Abstract: In today's e-business era system downtime equals to financial losses and going 'out-of-business'. As modern business information systems are operated by enterprise servers, server operating systems that run them play a crucial role in keeping application servers up and running. Therefore, considering server operating systems from a business perspective and keeping them available '24 × 7 × 365' is critical for 'keeping e-business in business'. The paper is aimed at identifying a business perspective of server operating systems as a core component of business information system infrastructures from a business continuity perspective. A holistic framework of such a perspective is presented in the form of a conceptual model of the server operating environment for continuous computing with major technology enablers. The model is supported by three cases and SWOT analysis.
