@scottalanmiller I can talk to one of the licensing guys and see what I can get you, how many sockets/vms you want? (really isn't much use in a lab though, need multiple vHosts for RDR and UVB is just UEB without physical support and a little more scalable)

@scottalanmiller Trials are free for 14 days, just download and play

Since Unitrends closed the Philidelphia PHD office, all their UVB stuff shifted to us, I'm so buried right now :<

'grats RAM, get those super duper rep points and post count so you can be lord awesome

@Dashrender Good on ya, I've yet to motivate myself enough to seriously dig into a new cert course. I can't stand programming, I'm a fixer more than a maker

@Dashrender Pretty good, just did vacation at tomorrowworld, and heading up to new york next week for a concert and to visit my brother... and to eat a ton of food.

How you doin'

@Dominica Then I shall text you!~

Yup, pretty normal. Postgres is the database. Hashing never stops, baby.

Unitrends is constantly preparing itself for need to do an autosynth, and is working on the dedup and inline hashing and everything else all the time. It's pretty normal for postsgres to be pegged.

I need to spend some time going over the exchange 2013 books myself, I've deployed countless exchanges up through 2010, but 2013 just seems to have endemic issues, like sharepoint. You've got to dig in and change things before it'll even begin to work properly.
On a fresh exchange 2013 install, I couldn't even get the EAC to come up until I'd installed the service packs, all I was getting was "Something went wrong, sorry :-(", no messages to help along the way.

I liked the old exchange console :<

We'll probably see a new vulnerability in SSL like we did with shellshock as more and more NSA leaks happen, then we'll just end up all moving to new multi-handshake encryptions in the future.

Security just always seems to be out of reach these days...

Texting Scott and wondering if I still have the right number...

LAG's will only improve throughput so far, and really 10GbE is the future at the moment, you'll find you have lower latency, and more throughput overall with 10GbE saturation than with 1GbE LAGs. Also, switches that do iSCSI offload are almost never really used properly to offload, so it's not saving you much. Just any decent switch will work.

I wholly agree with the SSDs for databases, and really, anything that has a high amount of 'touches' (otherwise known as IOPS!). Databases constantly have little tiny touches to make changes, which results in a higher amount of requests going on to the storage. This is where higher IOPS makes the difference. For systems like your average desktop, moving a large file takes relatively few IOPS, but more throughput.

This is why the term 'tiered storage' has become popular, you create tiers of storage, depending on your needs that can be super fast storage (ssd), fast storage (10/15k drives), normal storage (7.2k drives), and nearline (~5k drives). Then you deploy your applications depending on how you want them to live and operate.

Have you talked to support? What version are you running? Any core dumps? Could be a lot of different things, you may just be over your capacity.

Her Japanese is teeeeeeeeeeeerrible. Nothing like what an actual speaker would sound like.
I'm usually able to pick out various languages based on the sounds of the words, but when someone is speaking random gibberish, it's not near as discernible, so I'd say this isn't exactly accurate.
