  @Aaron-Studer said: I just installed this on my CentOS server. I like the look of it. I will be comparing it to webmin. And compare to Chef / Puppet. This is the polar opposite approach. Decentralized "snowflake" management versus centralized automation management.

  @ajstringham said: I'm creating the VMDK now. My only concern is that, all my research suggests Ubuntu is the best distro to run a LAMP server on. I'm also much more familiar with Debian systems over RPM... RHEL has always been the LAMP leader. No upside to Ubuntu for LAMP. That's not where Ubuntu is strong. Ubuntu is better for alternative, non-LAMP, application stacks like RoR and Node.js where RHEL's conservative approach is a major problem. Other than needing the EPEL enabled, RHEL is as straightforward as you really get for LAMP. Ubuntu has only squeaked by as being even a reasonable choice until the latest few releases.

  @ambarishrh said: Since the requirement is to upload contents like videos, images, logo etc and manage them, I still think it comes under digital asset management and not document management. Plus as per resourcespace site, which I think best suits the requirement, also describes it.ResourceSpace open source digital asset management software is the simple, fast, & free way to organise your digital assets Sort of, but it is an extremely odd term to use for them. Digital Assets is normally use to mean computers and the like, not files and documents. In any case, it is too general to provide good results. It is purely file and document management that you seek, so no matter how correct digital assets might be it is too broad to be useful. In the way that you are using the term, we could replace the term "filesystem" with "digital asset management system" and you see how confusing that is. What do you seek that Sharepoint, Alfresco or the filesystem do not provide?

  I am in touch with http://www.accellion.com/ and checking at the Kite works enterprise. The parent company is using a product from this, but with limited storage space, but since they already use a product from accellion, I believe getting this approved would be much easier than introducing anything new. Got in touch with the local distributer and they agreed to give us a 15 days demo so we can test this in realtime. Its a software appliance which works with vmware/hyperv. Will share more details after the demo

  @Carnival-Boy said: @scottalanmiller said: No, I know of no product that has a restriction like that. No software, hardware, real estate, etc. It's a common belief that all kinds of things require one to be a business but the reality is is that such restrictions have no reason to exist and so don't. Some product somewhere is like that, but I can't think of any. I've had problems the other way round, where I've tried to buy a consumer product with a business credit card and it's been declined because the credit card is registered to a business address. 1TB of data for $30, add e-mail and a bunch of other stuff for an extra $20. Is there anything else in the market that offers anything similar? Yes. Often consumers get special pricing not available to a business. But any person can simply declare themselves a business if they want.

  @alexntg said: @Dashrender said: We actually have a policy that IT does not help people with shortcuts. If you really need a short cut it's between you and your manager, otherwise we deploy needed internet favorites via GPO, and the rest of the applications are in the start menu(start screen). That must make file server moves a breeze! Standard network drives, yes - user directories, not so much.

  @alexntg said: @scottalanmiller said: @alexntg I much prefer using stuff that is more applicable for business. Sophos pulls that "no prices" stuff. From what I can see it is about 600% the price of the Ubiquiti. The pricing for the home edition is publicly posted: http://www.sophos.com/en-us/products/free-tools/sophos-utm-home-edition.aspx As far as "business" pricing, most of the major equipment vendors operate that way (Cisco, Palo Alto, Sonicwall). They're all either "Contact Sales" or "Find a Reseller". It's a traditional channel business model. Would I like to see a flat price? Certainly, but it doesn't happen. It's free for software, but not the appliance. VyOS is free too.

It's a subscription to Office Home Premium desktop applications and extra OneDrive space. Agreed, did anyone find out if it now includes email? It doesn't include mail.

If someone's still paying the auditor, I'm sure they'll keep on auditing. The audit is very important. TC remains a very viable product. Moreso than ever having weathered this storm.

  I exported a list by querying the information_schema. I know there are other ways I could do this: Export the table and use replace function in the file. Then recreate the table Code the logic in PHP and make the changes via loop Part of this is curiosity/learning, part of it is wanting to be able to make these changes quickly, part is for future use since this comes up sometimes if the DB columns were not named properly initially. Ideally, I would like this to be all contained within one .sql file that can be ran automatically during deployment.
