  @Dashrender said: I'm lucky I'm past all of that. I've been telling them for a year that we need to replace all of the XP machines (40+) and they have approved it... so the purchasing has been happening with some help from Danielle. Awesome, good to know that NTG is able to help out!

  @Dashrender said: What about DAC? isn't that still a factor with any parity RAID? Yes it is. However, it is suspected that much of DAC is a second order consequence of URE. And also a lot of DAC is believed to come from drive vibration. Both things are fixed with SSD. So it is believed that the likelihood of DAC is lower.

  I just have a two bay at the moment. It is a pretty recent addition. Very nice unit though. I actually have the ioSafe fire proof, water proof unit.

  @Bill-Kindle Interesting. I can see how that would be useful. Reminds me, in a way, of the end of The Dark Knight. Not sonar but being able to reference things from multiple points of view would be useful.

  @scottalanmiller said: The "new" Zimbra Community product (not to be confused with the Zimbra Collaboration email platform) has recently gone to version 8.0 after having been renamed from Telligent Community. Looks like an interesting social media platform for business. Has anyone played with it? Might be a nice way to do internal social media for a lot of organizations. I hope that we can get this into the NTG Labs at some point to play with. http://www.zimbra.com/products/zimbra-community/benefits.html Very nice.

  I'm actually looking forward to this LTS as a possible every day desktop for myself. I've never been fully on board with taking the plunge, but the increasing irrelevance of the underlying OS is making using a stable and secure platform that much more attractive to me.

  .... and now seeing a buried SW email from SmartDeploy about a 03/04 seminar for their "new beta project 'Serenity'". GG Spencer(sp?) was the sender. Guessing it is a cloudy version of their product with some InTune-ish features. Not like InTune seems to be getting traction.

  @ajstringham It is very handy! But steep learning curve. I attended a demo conference at the beginning of January up in Orlando. It was very classy and very informational. They know how to throw a good shin-dig. There is an annual user conference in Las Vegas in October, I think. Analogous to Spice World.
