    @Dashrender exactly, there are much better ways to set that kinda thing up - I think we're still looking for a scenario where dude-buddy-guy from SW forums would be right. He may just be 100% wrong.

    well, again, my friends suggested reason, lack of personnel resources in times of emergency, could be a reason.

    No, it makes investment in spares make sense but still doesn't justify preemptive, it would do the opposite. Having spares is what you do when you don't have available labour, not burning them up and throwing them out.

    The compression ration is totally dependent on your specific data types. Some data, like text files and logs, compresses extremely well. Others, like movies and music, will often not compress at all and actually carry a small risk of expansion! The only way to know usefully how compression will affect your specific data set is to test it.

    Oh right, they did not even rename the installers? Sorry.

    The OneDrive for Business executable is still Groove.exe, so is this really a surprise? That though has been changed long enough that the installer is different at least.

    The backend says Groove as I said earlier, but how hard can it be to rename the installer?

    Classic case of Marketing running down the road screaming about the new names when the tech guys are left behind wondering what to do.

    Possible that things depend on the name and could break.

    I'd buy any DVR that matches the camera type that want.

    And then buy the camera's separate. Any basic unit that you'd buy from Amazon are going to have crap camera's.

    All you need is the software and storage space.

    If you don't want to purchase a prebuilt system you could try something line ZoneMinder, and simply purchase camera's that are on the HAL.

    The idea that causing a system to fail would be routine maintenance is just.... I have no idea. Imagine crashing a car, just a little, to cause the airbags to deploy so that you get fresh ones installed once every 50,000 miles. That just doesn't make sense.

    Which is my thinking too... unfortunately we have to keep this carrier and this number (business reasons). I was thinking a different number and then forward this number to this device.

    For testing to prove the issue, this should be simple. Just get a second phone and forward the number as you say. Also make calls on the original phone to capture whatever Verizon wants.

    To really cut costs and meet your long term scale requirements....

    Four of these WD Red 4TB drives coming out to $620

    And this Dell R410 server: $800

    You are looking at $1,419 to purchase and somewhere between $50 and $100 per month for hosting costs.

    Your entire first year could cost no more than $2,019 and each additional year only $600 for a full 8TB of capacity in RAID 10.

    I have no idea how Azure licenses stuff - I wouldn't have thought that you could buy a Datacenter server license for MS's own cloud solution, but what do I know?

    I think that DC might be the license that is provided. I do not believe that you can bring your own license, but what you get does come with a license of some sort.

    Getting a DC license in that case seems weird to me then, unless it allows you more resource usage than standard (does it in Server 2012 R2?) Of course it allow allows for you to run all the VMs under a single hardware server as well - but I'm guessing that the licensing you're getting as part of Azure isn't a full DC license, additionally, because it is cloud based, you wouldn't be properly licensed in a situation like that anyway since MS could move your workload onto different hardware without you ever knowing it, and now you'd be out of compliance.

    So, if you really need to run 10 servers on Azure, you just need to purchase 10 instances, right?

    Other thing to consider is the larger your power overhead the cooler the PSU will run, the longer it will last. The holy trinity of electronics life.

    MTBF of caps vs operating temp (very rough guide but gives you a solid feel for the effect of temp on electronics). About every 10c you go up, life goes down by half.
