Depends. I've never seen an enterprise shop with enterprise system admins that were not more expensive than the storage guys. Close, but systems is the top payer. I've known many $200K and higher systems people. No storage people at $200K. But lots over $150K.

Cost more but can do more. I'm not saying what my pay is, but my bonus is more than my whole salary at my previous employer.

Yup, system admins generally can do "nearly anything." Whereas storage admins generally can do only one thing. And if you change storage products you generally have to replace your storage team too.

Contact NTG I'm pretty sure they can do it without pushing any products. Although there is a fee it is probably worth it.

Yes, and.... yes.

Here is the site I was on.. but when I visit now, there is no prompt.

I suppose it's possible I visited another page in a different tab, then killed the tab, and the prompt at the bottom of IE 11 stayed across tabs.

If the idea is keeping the budget down, software RAID sounds like a great option. That is a large chunk of cash necessary to get a quality RAID controller.

@scottalanmiller Seems like more has happened with Hyper-V in the last 12 months, than it ever has in development. I'll be excited to see what happens in the next few years, especially with RemoteFX and VDI (setting up some Raspberry Pi 2's from Amazon for $70, and Raspberry Thin PC download). Tried it out over this last spring in a VMware Horizon View environment, and all I can say is wow. That install has pretty much every remote protocol. You can harden the client by locking out the docks/settings/etc once you're all done setting it up. Not perfect, but nearly there.

SSL and TLS protect people from spying on an existing communications channel, but does nothing to protect the end points. It's just a service that has to respond to any incoming request.

No, I meant the two Program Files directories, as there isn't just one unless you are running 32bit.

Yeah I did forget about that - never really understood the reason for that split - the users sure the heck don't care!

I find pagination works better even on full devices.

I prefer the infinite scroll as long as it works right. It mostly works well on here.

I prefer it when it works too 🙂

they havent been whining about performance today so i'm just gonna wait til tonight

1 of me, 35 of them. In all fairness, most of "them" are developers, so I really only have 2 "users" here that aren't technical and brilliant.

That Norco might work, but looking at it, I'm curious what the usable dimensions are inside. The exterior depth shows 31.5" and the Dell Standard depth is 28 7/8. That's cutting it pretty
close. I haven't found a spec sheet or anyone talking about the interior dims yet.

This is a little damaged apparently, but might be the right idea.

Mentioned GS there now.

both Vulnerability Scan and Intrusion Prevention are disabled

KMS does work, I've tried it three times so far - works like a charm.

the wonderful, and under-rated, Microsoft Access.

Die in a fire heretic!

The key in this regard is to not expose port 80. Though I'm sure hackers can still exploit flaws in the listener for SSL, when they exist.

You can bind SSL to port 80 if you want. the browsers won't care.

Yeah, you can get that to be pretty simple with a little work (and keys.)

As far as I know
RTO = Recover Time Objective - The amount of time it will take to get a failed system back online

RPO = Recover Point Objective - How much data do I loose from this moment backward.

Und? 🙂

Update. If I create an event on the Surface with the calendar it shows up in the Zoho calendar, however if I create an event in Zoho it does not show up on the Surface.

First thing is you're going to want to set up an ISO share so you can start launching VMs. I set up a CIFS share so that I can just put ISOs into a folder on my workstation and have XenCenter automatically be able to mount them.

I don't want this on my workstation. Does XenServer not have a method to locally store files someplace?

With Hyper-V I can just drop iso files in a folder on the C/D/E/Whatever drive.
With VMWare I can upload iso files to a folder on the the datastore.

As @DustinB3403 linked you have to add it from cli through the Dom0. Kind of stupid if you ask me.

May be kinda stupid, but considering they have a Dom0, kinda makes sense. It's the same in Hyper-V. ESXi is the odd-man out here, but then, there's no Dom0 there.

I understand since the Dom0 doesn't have much room, but they should give you the option to mount a usb through XenCenter though.

They don't, I believe, because they want the XC interface to be easy for people working with pool, which is the majority of their base. Using a USB drive on a single host makes a lot of sense when you have only one host but when you have a lot of them it would potentially get really confusing.
