Embodiments for implementing change control management in computing center environments by a processor. A physical activity of a user performing an action in the computing center environment is monitored. If the monitored activity is determined to be contrary, or predicted to be contrary, to a preferred, predetermined action for the computing center environment, the user is alerted that the action is contrary, and an operation is performed on the computing center environment to secure data in the computing center environment from damage potentially caused by the contrary action.

Preventative enterprise change management

A tape-based data storage system, according to one embodiment, includes: a tape library having: a plurality cells, each of the cells being configured to store one or more tape cartridges therein, and at least an antenna of a near field communication reader positioned at each of the cells. Moreover, each of the antennas are positioned relative the associated cell to be in direct communication with a near field communication tag coupled to a tape cartridge stored in the associated cell.
