The single biggest complaint that has been held in common by people for several years now has been the fact the web UI is flash based. With a new, sleek HTML5 interface, I would expect Unitrends to see some even more accelerated growth!

We hope 😉

Ok, yes, we hope. I shouldn't speak in such absolutes, but it's a pretty safe bet...

Story time! I learned this lesson a really hard way. Right after I graduated high school one of the largest companies in town was hiring for a C# developer and a Friend of mine was all ready working there. I thought I had it in the bag, the interview went great, I met with the director of the department. I just had one final piece, go home and spend less than an hour or two writing a program that did XY & Z. So I headed home, and started writing code. However I couldn't get my debugger to connect to my project. I tried all night, this was my first attempt at programming outside of a school environment, So I ended up having to write and debug a small project by double clicking the .exe and putting tons of message boxes in the code to pop up constantly with variable values to step through the entire project. The next day I emailed in an ugly buggy mess, and was turned down for the job.

The reason it was all a mess is my Windows User name had an ‘&’ in it, and it was messing up the directory to the project for Visual Studio and the debugger.

End the end, I ended up getting the same job 7 years later (2014) and the guy that interviewed me still works as a contractor around here. We have talked about it, and had a good laugh. I ended up getting staying at my old job, learned a ton and met all the people on here. It all worked out in the end.

Here is the other lesson to take away from this for the younger group on here. I never blamed my computer, Windows, God, life, or anyone else. It was my fault, I didn’t know it at the time, but I made the user name. I learned from it, I got better with my skills, and eventually another spot opened up around here, and I got it.

There will be a special new free version available,which includes HTML5 - you can sign up for it here> http://go.unitrends.com/Freedom2015.

We will not be releaseing the HTML5 GUI in the appliances until later this year since we want to make sure that all the kinks are worked out first.

Please let me know what questions you may have.

You're fighting a battle on two fronts

vm's are notoriously crap at rendering/gaming/using a video card live desktop over network has never worked nicely due to bandwidth/compression issues

Is there a way to change the way you're doing it right now? Play the video locally on a PC?

For a while I was looking into a way of doing similar (playing games on junk laptop but have it rendered by the pc). This was ages back now. I seem to recall a company did something similar recently... NVidia or something with phones? I dunno. Something to google around for anyway.

@g.jacobse @thecreativeone91 18650's are Lithium ion, which are plenty freaking dangerous! Batteries and caps are the only things that really scare the poop outta me in electronics.

For the charging/discharging/maintenance/safety stuff you can get cheap LI pack minders on ebay with a full LCD screen and all the goodies. Then you roll your own enclosure (mine will be sheet steel, a project box or wood). I will also integrate a speaker and amp in mine so when I go camping I've got tunes + battery charger for phone.

did you try mine? you need http:// for it to be complaint.

Finally, can't believe it took 13 posts before someone noticed it! I thought I was going to get to answer it, damn you creativeone!

But yes, AJ, that has to be it, considering if protocol is not included, it's automatically considered a subdirectory on the foreign host.

Yeah, I would have noticed it given time. Most threads like this are a process of elimination. That's just what I saw first.

My brother lives in Istanbul, what a crappy country.

And, in this case, who offers a truly UK cloud IaaS product? All of the key players are American.

And I assume you can control the peer to peer nature as well. So that not all peers can push updates.

As of now, no. You can only choose when they get updates.

I expect that to change very quickly.

@scottalanmiller its to clean up the mac junk files on a windows computer. If you copy any folders from a mac to PC or even a zip folder you will have them in it (they are hidden though, but take up space and mess with some programs).

Gotcha, now I see what you are doing here 🙂

Yeah, same. See, it wasn't just me for once.

Again, we would only do this if business needs require it. But my question is more centered around how people get the gear to fully test out VSAN and do a proof of concept before they deploy it?

Bigger companies that care about testing maintain labs with lots of hardware to test this stuff. That's the price paid for all kinds of necessary testing.

And I am certain their internal IT is much larger than our 4-person team.

With a small team you are stuck leveraging: reviews, logic, anecdotal evidence, vendor reputation and guesswork. Just the nature of being small. Leverage what the big boys do, applying logic as to when what they do matters only at their scale rather than at yours. The way that SMBs compete is by not doing all of the expensive lab work and trusting the work of others. The way that enterprises compete is by doing their own research better than someone else does it and getting a technical advantage.

One is about blazing new ground, the other is about running agile and low cost.

Oh no sir, you need the white glove license management service for...1 million dollars.

@g.jacobse If you have never played anything like the classic Sierra and LucasArts games, I HIGHLY recommend that you download this one (free) and check out the remake of the classic that started it all. King's Quest 1 was 1984 and started the adventure gaming revolution. Well worth checking out this excellent remake with new graphics, updated story fixes and voice acting. Look at screenshots of the original to understand just how updated it is. But it remains a faithful remake, if you played the original this would take you right back.

I'll look at that one. The other game I played for a while was TradeWars,.. dates back to when I ran a BBS,.. It's actually been ported over and is being run online. some updated graphics as well.

VeeamOne Free is also a really nice utility to look at what's going on in your VMWare environment. Plus, it's pretty friendly.

http://www.veeam.com/virtual-server-management-one-free.html

Are you running it on the same server as your Veeam B & R install or on a different server?

Same server. It's on a VM that also runs Spiceworks, WSUS, and PDQDeploy. Lot's of good graphs. I'm using the "paid" version, but the free looks like it has many of the same features.
