Hi folks,
I am trying to find data on Azure blob failure rates. Ideally, previous downtime/unavailability numbers, error/corruptuon rates, total loss rates... but I cannot find any data on this. Can anybody point me in the right direction?
Perhaps I'm wrong and it just 'never fails', but I can't believe that. If a blob storage can never fail, then why sell the option of locally redundant sync between Azure data centres and global redundance sync to different countries...
Best,
Jim
Is the issue from one specific "client" machine, or multiple?
I'll see what they come up with and take it from there.

You never now what something is actually worth until you try to sell it.
Brush up your resume, talk to recruiters and send it out. See what bites you get and what pay ranges are for those roles. You arent obligated to take any of them.
That sounds like a good idea.

Problem with places like PayScale, is they do salary by claimed title, and not by job role, industry, etc. An actual CIO is way, way higher than that. But everyone two bit, small business tech calls themselves a CIO and puts in their salary.
But since a London system admin would be double that salary at least, being the CIO which is a few steps over them (their manager's manager at least), you can imagine how much higher the salary is.
I had a hedge fund call me just the other day for salary info on hiring people. And we talked about how $300K - $450K was the salary range for system admins (non-manager) in the NYC area, and London is even more expensive. So use that as a guide. If you are managing people who should be making that price range, it gives you an idea of where to start.
The job title wont be CIO, probably more like Global IT Lead, and I report to the CIO. What would be similar to that?

Clearly you've raised your value beyond their ability to handle
I guess I need to know what salary they suggest later this year and take if from there. I'm just trying to think of what a reasonable figure could be as anywhere I look i'm not finding anything reasonable.
Ill be managing a team in London, where I currently have no management duties, i'll also be the global IT lead for all escalation, assigning projects and direction, i'll be managing the helpdesk by working with the business to decide SLAs and ensuring tickets are assigned to agents, and escalate to other members of the team if needed, and will be the main tech on the global change board to ensure changes are relevant, sound, needed and financially sensible...
So a lot of extra work.

@Jimmy9008 What is bringing on this question? Are you in a position you feel is paying you much less than you deserve or did you move to a new area you aren't familiar with?
I am probably getting a promotion within the next month which will include many more duties, and I know the new salary is being 'bench-marked' to make sure its the right amount, but my current salary is already on the upper limits for what I do already, and I cannot see a single posting for what I will be doing... so, if 'bench-marked' by looking at many different job titles, the number is actually less!
I am not sure on how I can decide what is reasonable or not for me to accept the position, or to move on if needed elsewhere...

So those are the same factors
What do you mean?
If I can commute to both places from the same house reasonably, the things that determine the pay that you get are the same. Because as a worker, I could be in the higher cost or the lower cost location.
I see what you mean now. Yes, that is sort of reasonable, however, the travel cost is slightly different and the living cost is also different. For example, I can pick up a burger and beer in Greenwich at a decent pub for £10 in Greenwich, in Kings Cross, its usually hitting £15 and up for somewhere equally decent...

I've been asked a few times to show evidence of why a salary should be given for a position. They often require similar job postings with the target salary in question... aka, if other companies are paying it, we should.
That's a sign of a really bad company. Really, really bad. You evidence is "otherwise I don't take this job". You can likewise demand evidence of why they would pay less. Remember, they have no rights or power that you don't have. The negotiation is equal both ways. If they treated me like that in an interview, I'd simple turn them down for the job... and have, on Wall St.
The evidence they would show is from a site like PayScale. I believe they get salary data from people filling out a form about their own salary, which then shows the information. My thoughts on that are people looking are naturally going to be on lower salary so the data will mostly contain only low salary. So, its a useless tool... but its one I have seen used.

How do you decide what is a fair salary for an IT position?
No hard and fast rule other than what not to do. Don't believe job postings, Glassdoor, or people on communities. Nearly everyone has an interest in making the trend look lower than it is. Talking to lots of people in the area, working in the area, comparing what people actually earn and comparing the work that they do. That's about it.
In many ways, what's "fair" in an area isn't relevant. What's fair for you is what matters.
I've been asked a few times to show evidence of why a salary should be given for a position. They often require similar job postings with the target salary in question... aka, if other companies are paying it, we should.
But, I find that most do not list a salary, or only use a subset of skills, or are in a different area where you would expect a lower salary.
Can... "Dave from the pub said..." really be evidence to justify the salary?
Hi folks,
How do you decide what is a fair salary for an IT position?
I am finding it to be quite difficult to get an idea as many job listings that require a similar skill set often say 'salary depending on experience'. So, you cannot really get any data. Plus, I have never quite trusted the data shown on sites like PayScale. Its probably quite skewed towards data being provided by those on lower salaries anyway.
I also expect each area varies quite drastically in salary. It doesn't feel right to judge say a Sysadmin salary for somebody working from Kings Cross or Old Street to somebody in Greenwich...
How do you begin to decide whats fair?
Best,
Jim

@Dashrender said in Cisco ASA:
It looks like routing is enabled on the switch itself - now - who's doing the switching between the VLANs kinda depends on what the default gateway for each VLAN is.
Though since you can make one way communication to C from A/B, but not back, I'm guessing the rules exist in the switch, not the ASA that handle that.
Each vlan does point to its switch IP address for the vLAN.
Funny enough, if I set a client to use the switch IP as its gateway, then 172.x can communicate back with it, but the device also loses access to the Internet.
It doesn't surprise me that you can get to A/B if A/B client uses the switch IP as it's gateway, because routing on the switch is seemingly enabled... though it does surprise me that you can't get on the internet...
can 172.x.x.x get on the internet? I made an assumption earlier that it could - perhaps that was wrong.
172.x can. Yes.
I think rules must be needed in the ASA... will keep looking at it tomorrow.

What is the default gateway on each VLAN?
10.12.0.0 vlan… switch IP = 10.12.0.2, ASA = 10.12.0.1. Gateway on the vlan is 10.12.0.2 (the switch)
[clietns are given gateway of 10.12.0.1 (the asa) by DHCP]
10.4.0.0 vlan… switch IP = 10.4.0.2, ASA = 10.4.0.1. Gateway on the vlan is 10.4.0.2 (the switch)
[clients are given gateway of 10.4.0.1 (the asa) by DHCP]
172.16.0.0 vlan… switch IP = 172.16.0.1, ASA = N/A, gateway on the vlan is 172.16.0.1 (the switch)
I think if I blow away 192.168.50.x and make the ASA 172.16.0.1, and the switch say (182.16.0.2 or something) that all vlans will talk as the ASA would be doing the routing...
Hi folks,
I am unable to sort this routing issue. Any ideas? I have a few interfaces as follows:
ASA: 192.168.50.10/24
ASA: 10.12.0.1/20
ASA: 10.4.0.1/20
Also, a switch:
vLAN A 10.12.0.2
vLAN B 10.4.0.2
vLAN C 172.16.0.1
vLAN D 192.168.50.1
Default route on this switch is 0.0.0.0 192.168.50.10 (the ASA)
Now, A and B can have traffic going both ways. I can ping/RDP/whatever between those two vLANs.
A and B can also RDP/ping devices sitting on C. A and B physically connect to the ASA.
D also physically connects to the ASA, and it looks like C routes out over D as its the global default route.
Now, the problem is that anything on C cannot contact A or B.
Any ideas on this? I am thinking of just blowing away D entirely and putting 172.16.0.1 on the ASA removing that entire vLAN. (Its like that for legacy purposes).
I have tried setting a range of routes on the switch for the various vlan, and have set routes on the ASA, but C > A/B will not flow. Which is strange as A/B > C works fine.
Best,
Jim
How would you rate their solution overall? Amy other serious contenders to consider like a starwind hca?
So, data will be sync'd from box 1, to box 2 etc?
If a node on box 1 dies, the nodes on 2 and 3 will share the load?
Ok, so... the nodes and storage are in one box right? So, it's one spof?
Unless I get multiple VXRail units and theybbetqeen boxes replicate...
