Apple Watch sells out almost instantly

Ship dates quickly stretch to June for the new wearable

The Apple Watch sold out almost immediately earlier today, making good on a promise by the company's head of retail that supply would not be sufficient at the start.

Ship times for the low-end Sport and mid-range Watch editions shifted to between four and six weeks within minutes of pre-order opening. Several hours later, all Sport models slipped straight to simply "June," the wide window that the highest-priced wearable, the 18-karat Edition, also showed as a delivery date.
Apple Watch order

Supplies of the Apple Watch sold out almost immediately Friday, with this order -- placed just two minutes after the online store opened -- showing delivery between five and seven weeks from today.

One Computerworld staffer processed an online order just minutes after the Apple online store opened at 12:01 a.m. PT (3:01 a.m. ET), and was told that the Sport model would be delivered between May 13 and May 27.

As is often the case on the first day of sales of a new Apple product, the Cupertino, Calif. company's online store was not rendering in a browser earlier today, likely because of large numbers of customers trying to get in all at once. The Computerworld staffer used the iOS Apple Store app on an iPhone to place the order.

It was impossible to say whether the long lead times were the result of an extremely short supply or an impressive number of orders. Apple may provide more information at its quarterly earnings call with Wall Street on April 27.

Angela Ahrendts, chief of Apple's retail and online sales, said yesterday that supplies would be tight, but spun that as indicative of wide interest as well as small inventories. "We expect that strong customer demand will exceed our supply at launch," Ahrendts said, marking the first time the firm has announced in a press release before a product launch that supplies would fall short.

Apple Watch orders are being taken only online, another unprecedented move by the company. Customers who want to actually try on a Watch -- not just look at them under glass -- must make appointments at an Apple retail store. As reported earlier, those appointments are in 15-min. increments, the time allowed by Apple for a fitting and a quick explanation of the device's features and functions.

Why Google wants to replace Gmail
Apple will begin selling the Watch in its stores on April 24, also the earliest delivery date for those who jumped on an online order straight away.

Almost lost in the hubbub about the Watch, the 12-in. Retina-equipped MacBook also went on sale today. The minimalist laptop starts at $1,299 and, in another first, comes in the same three tints as the iPhone and iPad.

The silver and space-gray models of the MacBook showed ship dates of between one and three business days, but the gold-colored laptop was delayed three to four weeks.

7 critical things to cover in your disaster-recovery plan

As always, you never know when a disaster will strike, so better to have a checklist on hand so that panic doesn’t set in when the network goes down.

1. Creating a plan
Cloud services company Evolve IP has created a list of suggestions for executives to evaluate their current disaster avoidance plans or, should a plan not exist, provide directional measures to protect their information and communications systems.

2. Establish a disaster recovery functional team
Elect one spokesperson from the group for communication. In the event of a multi-location organization each location should have a core team or representative that works with the corporate entity.

3. Risk assessment
Identify risks in the following areas:

Information – What information and information systems are most vital to continue to run the business at an acceptable level?

Communication Infrastructure – What communications (email, toll free lines, call centers, VPNs, Terminal Services) are most vital to continue to run the business at an acceptable level?

Access and Authorization – Who needs to access the above systems and in what secure manner (VPN, SSL, DR Site) in the event of a disaster?

Physical Work Environment – What is necessary to conduct business in an emergency should the affected location not be available?

Internal and External Communication – Who do we need to contact in the event of an emergency and with what information?

4. Cloud-based data centers and applications
Create a written recovery plan that is hosted remotely in a secure and redundant data center. Schedule and test your plan at least once per year or in accordance with regulatory/compliance requirements. Ensure employees can access the hosted environment (both from within the business confines and remotely) during fail-over mode from the designated locations.

5. Premise-based data centers
Produce a written recovery plan that is stored remotely. Identify water entry areas throughout the building and have sandbags available. Install VESDA smoke detection and thermal detectors. Have a fail-safe alarm system. Place high-temperature sensors on fire sprinkler heads if non-water based fire-suppression is unavailable. Keep your data center above street level. If you are in a single-floor building, raise your racks from the floor. Employ multiple Internet service/data providers and test for failover regularly.

6. Data back-up
Tape back-ups should be removed daily and stored in a secure, easily accessed public building with at least 2-3 individuals having keys to the location. Back-up data to a geographically distant location, either electronically, or ensure physical media is in a diverse location.

7. Hosted telephony systems
Employ multiple Internet providers and test for failover regularly. Verify that critical phone numbers have the ability to call forward in an unreachable condition.

8. Call center
Identify key business applications required and how call center staff will access these applications from alternative locations. Identify critical call types that must be answered and determine mechanism to segregate those calls. Identify alternative locations to house the staff with the appropriate systems, phones, and work environment. Ensure administrative staff has the ability to remotely change call routing, messaging, and related call center functionality.
