      He had "important" data in RAID 0 and quick formatted one of the drives with no backup. Then won't accept advice to send the drives to professional service.

              Oh, and he gets upset with people for telling him the truth. Nice.

                Black box appliance, did not maintain support. Only mildly burned here, they got lucky.

                  Unfortunately, any further help is forbidden under the new storage rules. Now he's pretending that he asked for more help than he did. He wanted a vendor name, he got two, now he's hurt that he's an "idiot". Seriously?

                      Wow He even bought a new VNXe3200 Flash? VNXe is stupid with flash and has lots of yearly licensing or you can't keep using it. Unity devices are the way to go for midrange. but VNXe sucks, and is cheaper initial costs so a lot of SMBs get it even though over time it costs more.

                        If you can't figure out on your own using some tools why VDIs are running slow.. you shouldn't be running VDI haha.

                          Yeah, seems like they just made one bad decision after another, then used other bad decisions to justify more bad decisions. They have money to just "set on fire" and then complain about how those of us spending less leave in an "ideal" world and that he has to live with "reality." Talk about excuses.

                            Or at least shouldn't be "running it yourself."

                                  So is spiceworks censoring now based on advertisers or something?

                                    Lots of people need that, it's common... but it has no place in IT or business. It's like my roommate. She's a sweet girl and her dream is to make furniture that cost $500 to make and she wants to sell for $500,000. Of course, there is nothing special about it, anyone with $500K would just look at a picture of it and have someone custom make it for them for $2,000 and, if they really liked it, spend the other $498,000 starting a company to make it cheaper. If I told her that this sounded like a good business idea, she might invest her life savings and all of her time into this idea that obviously won't work. Sugar coating is dangerous in business, and IT is business. As IT Pros, it's our job to remove sugar coating and deal with reality.

                                      No, but some individual admins have gotten vendor-favourable rules into individual groups.

                                        I was not censored in that thread, in case it looked that way. David deleted one of many, many responses that I had. He was fully justified in doing so. I'm not being curtailed in any way. I did unsubscribe from the thread, though, as there was no point - especially after the OP had checked out and didn't even want an answer any longer.
