"The Hardware Heist Continues: Bigger Servers, Bigger Problems"

It’s another day in the life of Indian banks' IT departments. CPU spikes? Memory full? Disk screaming for help? No worries—let’s toss some more hardware at the problem. It’s like solving traffic jams by building wider roads but never asking why there’s so much traffic in the first place!

Today’s story is about how banks think the answer to every system bottleneck is more hardware. Imagine your server is like an overheated car on the highway. Instead of fixing the engine, banks just buy a bigger car. It runs fine for a while—until it overheats again. Repeat this cycle until your server room is packed with more hardware than an electronics superstore.

And then, the magical solution arrives: Restart. Because what’s better than kicking the problem down the road? IT staff happily reboot the system and sip coffee, convinced they’ve outsmarted the issue—until it strikes again.

What’s missing? Root cause analysis. Maybe all that server needed was a minor configuration change, but who has time for that when restarting and hardware upgrades give you instant, though temporary, relief?
