Perfect. Create a share on the file-server for video projects, ask them to store all the footage on there in working folders (i.e Mango Lassi Conf 10-03-2017 ) which they can drag and drop from the server onto a local SSD.

Make sure they setup Cyberlink to store cache files and footage into that working folder, then copy it back onto the file-server for backup.

They are pretty much at the point of using even 4-8GB of Ram with an ok business PC, just give it an SSD.

Buy the whole system with good soundcard, graphics, Mobo and proc combo when they are ready to take a step up with editing, for now I'd class it as hobby level editing.

What kind of pricing are you seeing ?

Very good pricing

This is a good thing! How about what is the price per device?

I don't know what the list price is as I got a bulk order with integration options. Also the UK market pricing might well be different to the US market pricing, basically just go talk to them.

Been on a trial with these guys and I am really impressed.They've been around for awhile and they have now entered the UK. They have chosen Zedsphere as their partner who are the guys I mainly deal with for Webroot bits.

The trial has been a really nice experienced, I had a blip with getting something working and one of the techs in America for Ninja did a remote session with me, not a sales guy but an actual IT guy so got some good pointers and answers too

.I have generally seen that most RMM tools are either insanely expensive, cumbersome, slow, clunky to train techs on. Ninja has none of these issues.

The features work brilliantly, the agent is light and non-intrusive with all the right features. I will be placing an order next week for this tool.

One off-hand comment was that a non MSP edition of the product might be coming soon, if so I would recommend it highly to anyone in IT who is looking for it.

As for pricing, they have different options depending on what you are looking for but it is per device. No user/technician limits. They have a cloud monitoring feature for ping, DNS, HTTP, email checks against your resources and you don't pay anything for it.

I am excited because it is such a nicely built product, I can finally deploy a tool without groaning about a million issues.

I am not paid by Ninja or Zedsphere. I do not receive any "freebies" or gifts as a result of this.

Yeah but I saw the words PCIe SSD so we need to reality check this before we end up spending thousands on something over-kill.

So, what footage will you be editing?
What compression will be applied? AVCHD? MP4? What data rate
How many video files layered to be played at once on the timeline?

This drives the storage question. For 90% of 1080P editing. A single 7200RPM mechanical is absolutely fine. SSD makes it 4x quicker.

There really is not much point looking at heavy specs with CyberLink, most of the bottle-neck will be the software.

Soon as you get near
Premier Pro
Final Cut Pro
Avid Media Composer

Then you start to really think about editing power in detail.

What this?

I5
8GB
256GB SSD

Done.

No point looking at dedicated GPUs for PowerDirector. You'll get almost nothing from it. Local storage, just edit live projects and shunt projects onto the file-server when editing is complete. Video editors do not eat lots of Ram and the I7 is wasted on software like that.

OVH pretty much for everything like that. Monitoring tools have not shown any outages or issues in 2 years of usage. The problem is it requires Linux admin knowledge rather than "DIY" CPanel

Oh the cost is not the issue, the issue is the time.

I was pondering submitting a talk but then they killed the London event.

MangoCon is still on!

Yeah but US flights are not an option this year.

Never had an issue even with online searches.

If I type terms, I get my Dara IT terms and conditions files.

I always get to the apps I need.

Bearing in mind my systems are all SSD based, so that may or may not be a factor.

Yes. You own and run the castle. Including the peasants who man the gates.

Yes but surely what happened was just as stupid as me buying a single HCI hardware device, putting in a rack, then complaining about how Scale is an unreliable product because I went against their recommendations and decades of conventional IT wisdom.

Assuming that they only have one hosting provider

Still won't help depending on the whims of each provider.

Google do penalise this and Chrome warns about it routinely.

For the sake of a single emoji...lets get rid of mixed content warnings

This generation has yet to see a real outage.

We're warming up to a big one now. In October last year someone proved they could take out one of the biggest DNS providers on the planet and they succeeded. By using the mass swarm of cheaply made IOT devices with little or no security.

Have a read into the Brian Krebs/Akamai attack last year. Where it was proven that you can bring any journalist or website offline if you hammer the hosting provider enough.

I use VOIP on mobile data or wifi routinely. No issues.

@DustinB3403 said in OBS Official (subscriber support) - Anything exist:

@Breffni-Potter Yep, the one and same.

There are solutions that do what OBS does but rather than produce a huge list. Can you start with telling me what is the problem you are trying to solve or what is the end result you would like to achieve?

OBS? Do you mean: https://obsproject.com/
