      You and I know it's better. Just have to have them punch holes into it.

      But as the CFO, I would expect that you have to demonstrate why it is better.

      One trick that I know a lot of companies do is print out a few articles on risk mitigation and hand them in as background for business people to understand:

      http://www.smbitjournal.com/2014/11/the-weakest-link-how-chained-dependencies-impact-system-risk/
      http://www.smbitjournal.com/2012/08/choosing-a-storage-type/
      http://www.smbitjournal.com/2013/06/when-to-consider-a-san/

      Take those, put them into a nice PDF for him to read too.

        Making a PDF that is nicely formatted with a few articles that talk about risk and best practices can go a long way.

        You can point out that while those articles were collected at SMB IT Journal, which is a best practices collection, they are originally from larger publications - mostly Datamation, Small Business Storage Journal and the StorageCraft Blog. All were vetted both by IT pros as well as be publishers and editors.

          Working on drafting them into a well formatted pdf now.

          Granted it's 15 pages to read though, but I can cut that down with text formatting.

                      For anyone else looking for some simple reading, I've drafted the different articles into a 16 page PDF.

                      It can be found here, it's rather simple to review and formatting was done for simplicity.

                          You should eat coffee. Drinking coffee is so ordinary.

                              just because?

                              I'm unclear what this is a question referencing. Or whom.

                              This question was in response to you saying you were going back to Panama the Sunday after SpiceWorld.

                              Why are you moving all over the place? and I might as well ask, how is it that you can afford to do this, I'd love to follow suit, though I'm sure my wife wouldn't be up for it.. and her career choice (classroom teacher, not so much online) would allow for it.

                                Oh, not Panamá, Central America. The "new" house is a cool, classic colonial with a pool in the living room and two fountains in Granada, Nicaragua.

                                    Today was one of those perfect storms of random problems all popping up at once, including my supervisor being out sick all day. On the other hand, one of our copiers got a firmware update and that seems to have gone off without a hitch, so I guess karma is real.
