Media report on internet failures or localized power supply outages seem more often than before . A failure of Instagram or WhatsApp is very teasing for some people , but on a corporal degree , usually not now harmful . The electricity outage made itself felt last twelvemonth when , in the run - up to Mother ’s Day , Aalsmeer - Zuid was hit by a power slue around 7 am . Out of requisite , Royal Flora Holand then suspend auctioneer until 8.00 am . Nevertheless , this society remember it is advisable to consider what the impact of sustain outages might be on one ’s own critical business processes . The Royal Flora Holland team says : " Experience show up that things can always go unseasonable , either due to technical loser , a cyber - attack or human erroneousness . This is unfortunately inescapable . The first dubiousness here is ' what are you in control of yourself , where do you rely on third - party systems and what choice can you already prepare yourself ? "
Emergency portalDuring the might outage at Aalsmeer - Oost , some purchaser rushed to the Royal Flora Holland construction across the street because there was top executive there . Others were prepared and used emergency author . If you use the cloud , you may continue working via another PC if your computer crashes . By doing so , you belittle the business impact if something goes wrong . This applies not only to administrative processes but also to operational process . If you’re able to remotely control your clime computer in the nursery , it intend that if security is not in station , outsider can do the same . By no means all growers adjust the default configurations and use , for model , a secure parole . This prove where possible vulnerabilities are .
The company takes a c looking at its own occupation process . In their technical development , they take a strategy of maximal independency , with modular developing and decoupling of system . " Floriday is play an increasingly important theatrical role in this . More and more growers and buyers are using Floriday for their daily commercial processes . The growing dependency and hence responsibility , calls for an alternative , should ever another large - scale nonstarter bechance . For example , the barely conceivable scenario where the public cloud , in our case that of AWS , goes down " , the companionship squad explains . An Emergency Portal was therefore build , in a different cloud , pop the question growers limited but full of life functionalities for the political platform ’s two core processes : supplying for auction and direct trading .
critical infrastructure for the floriculture industryThe squad adds : " Floriday is developing a sphere platform with more and more functionality . This brings with it great obligation because the whole chain must be able to blindly hope that platform . In the existence of floriculture , Floriday is increasingly becoming a vital base , enabling us to make the string more effective in the interests of the whole sphere . For example facilitate sustainability data that is increasingly demanded in the chain , such as footmark information and packaging datum that will be requested in the hereafter . By using young technology , such as API liaison , the party can unlock this through Floriday . The existing older techniques like the VMP links , Florecoms , etc . are totally inadequate for this purpose . imagine also of the EAB that , for example , is currently used to supply the auction deal . Royal Flora Holland will phase these out altogether by 2025 . "
" With Floriday ’s growing grandness , it is essential that Floriday runs uninterrupted . Yet we realise that any change within the digital platform lead to an opportunity for disruption . We have therefore borrow an approach that takes this into account . For example , by if things do not go well immediately , we can quickly overthrow the change . We also choose to take small gradation and experiment first and adjust if necessary . On the digital front , we are a learning organization , " they carry on .
" For other constituent of the IT landscape painting , for example , the IT internet , our lesson is that we use specialized service providers in Cuban sandwich - area more than before . Interestingly , this also saves us considerable cost . specializer can solve a problem quicker . They do so faster than all - rounders and thus the shock on business process is modest . That too is a form of cost deliverance , " the company reason out .
