    • RE: FREE IT and Cyber Security Training

      @Joyfano We have a Lynda account, and I'm taking that course there - Scott sums it up pretty good, but it sure does it fill in the blanks.

      @scottalanmiller I was thinking a giant would buy them and dismantle it - access to 6 million users for marketing, development, etc...

      Yea, but I don't think that community is going anywhere - as well as the annual conference. Here is what will happen: They will be sold within 2 years to a giant (HP is my guess) and it will carry on as a free program for a while, until... who knows...

      Right on - it's amazing the number of "startups" sharing a house to utilize Google Fiber.

      Kansas City is hopping with IT Jobs. What is your experience (years/technology, etc...)?

      Well Scott - if you were able to get a 6 percent return on 1 million and you had no debt, it might work.

    • Prepare 3 Envelopes - oldie but goodie

      A few years ago I was hired to replace a retiring veteran in IT, and on his last day, he handed me 3 envelopes. I asked about these and he told me that when things got crazy and I didnt know what to do, open the first envelope and it would help me out. Then he said that after a while I would run into another bind and for me to open the 2nd envelope for guidance. He then told me that I would no doubt encounter another crisis and for me to open the 3rd envelope when that happened. So a few months down the road a situation came up and I was clueless so I opened the first envelope. It simply said, " Tell them you are still new to the position and it takes time to build your own footprint in this business but you are almost there." I did this and to my amazement it bought me some relief from upper management. A few months later, I again had things go haywire and opened the 2nd envelope. It simply said, " Blame everything on me. Tell them I had gotten soft in my execution and it must be the reason for my retirement." I felt bad to do this but he suggested it so I did and it worked amazingly well. Finally a good bit of time passed and I again ran into a bind and just didnt know what to do and opened the final envelope. I slumped in my chair as it said: "Prepare 3 envelopes."

    • RE: Cloud Storage - Recommendations and your expierence - can Pertino fill this need?

      @Carnival-Boy said:

      Can't comment on Pertino. Of course, there are loads of cloud storage offerings but my only experience is with Trend Micro SafeSync, which I hated, and Livedrive.com which I quite like. So our remote workers now use Livedrive.com

      Does livedrive allow local copies for offline, then sync? version control? easy folder/shared folder setup?

    • RE: Cloud Storage - Recommendations and your expierence - can Pertino fill this need?

      The sync issue was the 1 item I was concerned about. Plus, the users need to use a folder structure for "Personal files" and "Shared files". The reason I thought about Pertino was the "always on" effect. But as far as syncing, I think that would be an issue if you are looking at accessing these documents from a phone, surface, laptop, etc... I see the Windows OS environment syncing just fine, but what about the phone or other non-windows devices?

    • Cloud Storage - Recommendations and your expierence - can Pertino fill this need?

      We need cloud storage for several users (on/off road with laptops) - Microsoft OneDrive looked good but if fubars when you try to get it to work on different hardware - for example, we can't get it to work on a Surface Pro 2 (wtf?). Also, it takes 24 hours to change permissions (wtf?) While researching this, I thought about Pertino. What if, you used Pertino and the end user had access to their documents wherever they were? Would Pertino be a good solution instead of paying for a cloud storage provider? Can the end user have a copy of their documents locally and when connected to the network, it will automatically sync as if it were on a domain, or am I asking too much and should continue looking for storage providers that give me my solution:

      1. need users to be able to easily access files via explorer using a file/folder structure
      2. Need to be able to securely share files
      3. need to update/sync when online
      4. Need access offline (on a plane, or no internet available)
      5. Need to access from phone/laptop/surface/desktop, etc....) from anywhere
      6. Centralized management
      7. quick security control
        8 encryption of files

      Can using Pertino give me this or am I needing a very versatile cloud provider?

    • RE: Discussion Room - Pertino

      Wow - this is a plethora of information. I've read all of the posts and now have learned more than expected - I was looking for Scott's video, can you throw that link in here? I didn't see it. Thanks for all of the input, this is a great resource - now, can we take this post and file it as a "whitepaper" of sorts, or just leave it as it is for users to search for?

    • RE: Odd VMWare issue

      What plug ins do you have installed? Check to confirm there are no issues with those. Have you tried this to different LUNS? I assume this is from Vcenter since you said you tried the template - does this happen from each Host as well or when installing to a particular host?

    • RE: Discussion Room - Pertino

      Does the agent get pushed down from the Central console? Can security/access be configured at that point? Where does the network get added into the mix?
