From co-lo to full hosting, we have several options available with different benefits etc - including live-scalable type environments etc
We have so much gear that we could easily populate a second facility, too bad it is so costly to ship gear from the US to the UK.
hah well If you ever decide to have it multi-location get in touch 
and yeah, we have lots of space in our DC's for expansion!

Too bad you don't want it UK based, I could have got you a deal here
What kind of facilities do you have over there?

Just found out that all of the gear is, indeed, moving to a US-based datacenter. Which one, I don't know yet, but hopefully will find out this week.

Your reply is brutal :')
Needs to be, that post was ridiculous.
What does "running an enterprise database from USB drive" or "running a database off of FTP" even mean? I mean... WTF!!!
Don't you know Scott this is the new "industry standard" for running mulit $$$$$ companies on. Means if the server fails you can drive home and plug it into your home PC and continue running the company
Ah, they changed their question...
I meant several thousands to millions transactions per minute, with a full backup of a database performed at least once a day.
In addition, I apologize for inconveniences. This topic is not about database storage but about database backup storage.
So now they are looking at 3.6 million times as large of a database (thousands per day to millions per minute)... and backups, not storage. LOL. Not really related to the original question at all.
"Take my apologies" - I'm guessing she's not a Native English speaker either...sounds like she's used google translate...
But yeah, still none of the above lol...who backs-up to a USB drive for vital information?? o.O
@scottalanmiller but they're the best in the world [/sarcasm]

A backup vendor asking if "big commercial databases" run from USB drives or FTP. Seriously?
http://community.spiceworks.com/topic/1432565-the-best-storage-for-big-databases
Here is the OP before the vendor takes it away:
Greetings for all!
Please tell which modern storage devices/solutions you are using (or just feel a most convenient) for big databases, especially commercial-level DBs with at least several thousands of daily transactions?
Fast external drives (USB 3.0, eSATA)
NAS units
Local FTP/SFTP/FTPS servers
Internet-connected storages (clouds, distant FTPs)
Dedicated storage vaults
Other device typesIt is also very interesting why you are using or suggesting a particular storage. Your answers are very important for our team, to develop better, faster backup practices for big databases.
Thanks for sharing your opinions!
Best regards,
Nataliya (Handy Backup Team)

Just got in to work...for some reason, on a Monday it takes me about 20 minutes longer than any other day...
I think that I tend to be up earlier, rather than later, on Mondays.
Yeah, I may need to leave 10 minutes earlier on a Monday in future...

Supervising a printer doing a 2608 page print job
2608 pages? That's gotta crash at least twice right?
sitting down trying to stay hidden...after leaving at 7:15pm last night and being in at 6:45am this morning to get cables punched, crimped and patched before people were in, I'm pretty pooped...but means I get to leave early on a Friday, so it's all worth it...right?
but also just heard about Dave Mirra 
I remember playing Dave Mirras Freestyle BMX on my friends playstation. Sad times...
Killing time...I have to stay late tonight to disconnect some computers...then be in at 7am tomorrow to punch in and patch 16 cables, crimp the other ends and reconnect all the computers after they've been moved... Does mean I get to finish at 4PM on a Friday though, and I will have help to crimp and reconnect stuff...Don't trust them to punch the cables though

I buy Apple MFi Certified third party cables, anything wrong with them?
http://www.amazon.com/Certified-Anker-Premium-Lightning-Connector/dp/B00QGH9S0O/
As long as they're certified they should be fine from what I understand...
Just because a company pays for certification does not mean they have quality equipment.
but surely if it was sub-par they'd refuse to certify it?
Certification happens long before mass production.
ah thats shit...didn't realise that!

About to unleash my Google Fu to find a power bank and cable to power my TP-Link extender for my Drone.
EasyAcc ones are one of the best I've found, works really well, and the battery:price ratio is amazing...It can recharge my nexus from empty to full 3-4 times on one charge...

Basically she wants chips and needs something healthier. Yoghurt was the healthy part to justify having a few chips.
Phew!
Like, I know American's eat weird stuff...but that was taking things TOO far...
Yeah that makes sense...

My four year old is a tough negotiator. She just talked her mom into a 20% increase in her Pringles allowance. She now gets six Pringles with her yoghurt, not just five. Good thing that she stuck to her guns.
Pringles...and Yoghurt...?! What weird combination is that?!
