That is the only question which matters. $20k/month isn't out of this world for colo depending on how many kW you have allocated. I'm going to guess 60. Also my consulting fee is a flat % of annualized $ saved for a 12 month period. H110Hawk fucked around with this message at 16:36 on Dec 11, 2015 |

I have found that Office 365 really cares about network connectivity in a way you almost wouldn't expect a cloud service to - I'm going to assume that the move to 'things' over HTTP as the main protocol that Outlook uses is part of the change of Exchange being an application that is accessed with LAN-line latencies to more Internet-like ones. We had no end of issues in Outlook 2013 on a wireless link with around 30-40ms delay to the Office 365 servers and a fair amount of jitter, and still see problems even with a pretty constant 3-4ms delay and 3 hops to a Microsoft datacenter where Outlook will just assume that it's in sync but it won't agree with OWA, or mail just sits in the outbox because Outlook thinks the connection is out, so needs offline mode toggling. It's improving with Outlook 2016 but it's a fairly irritating problem.

Hobos generate heat and will need to be cooled so they don't die. Not only will you need Tier 1 hobos to handle the servers, you'll need Tier 2 hobos to cool tier 1. Tier 2 hobos do not need to work quite as hard but they'll still generate heat and will need tier 3 pedaling gently to cool them. 1 rack = 3 hobos on tier 1, 2 hobos tier 2, 1 hobo tier 3. 6 @ $7.25 / hr x 24 hours x 30 days = $31,320 / month. Transient resources are expensive as gently caress just pay the $100 a month per RU and make sure you don't deploy 4 RU servers.

If I have a high performing transient resource can I subsidize it by studding it out?

Anyone know if Sonicwalls have something like a "Fail 2 Ban"? Using a NSA2600 with all the Intrusion Prevention features turned on: I get 800 emails about IPS preventing attacks from one IP address. It'd be nice if after 50 prevented attacks, I could configure it to just block the IP address.

I was going to suggest going by IP as well, but they seem to have some sort of NAT going. The IPs for every one of those URLs goes to the main Google page.

Hey IT nerds you might know the answer to this question: I'm currently running windows 8.1 with server 2012 deduplication roles on my personal machine. I want to upgrade to win 10. This was impossible with 2012 dedupe roles, without disabling deduplication. Apparently, the 2016 files have been released so that you can enable deduplication on 10 now. What I want to know is, if I upgrade and install the 2016 deduplication roles, will I be able to recover my 2012-deduped data? Or am I SOL until I de-dedupe my current install?

I put in my 2 weeks today, changed wallpaper to eject.jpg I start my new gig 5 years to the day after I started here. Weird. Anyway, they're hitting me up with all the usual exit interview/survey stuff. I've heard differing opinions here about these - some people say never do them, you have nothing to gain. Is that still the general consensus? Its not a hostile exit, but I am definitely not leaving with a lot of good things to say about my organization.

I don't think there is a general consensus but being professional and not burning bridges would be a good start. "Never do them" seems like goon extremism. You're on your way out so you don't owe them anything, so you can tell them lots or little per your preference. http://www.forbes.com/sites/nextavenue/2015/06/04/exit-interview-dos-and-donts/

Yeah I was planning on constructive criticism. I kinda figured the "never do them" sentiment was coming from the same kind of people who say "If you're not getting $160k/yr they are loving you, get out now!"

With an exit interview, you have the opportunity to make positive comments that will be more credible because you have nothing to gain. I'm not saying to be deceptive, but if there are things that you expect to miss, make sure you mention them. You can call out specific things that management did for you that you will remember forever. "Bob, I remember the time that you put yourself out on the line two years ago to get the nicer chairs for the office. It meant a lot at the time, it meant a lot for the next two years, and if my next job has bad chairs, it's going to be something I'll miss." You can make some comments about things you disliked, but you've got to be a lot more careful. With the positives, you can kinda blabber on without much worry.

Ha, well, I'm not gonna bother. They sent out an e-mail last week that I casually disregarded saying that they were now gonna block ~all webmail~ (goog, yahoo, and hotmail mentioned specifically). Office365 seems to work just fine though, so... v0v. No sense in poking the hornet's nest. I have a wifi connection to a comcast line that's unmonitored and off the network so, personally, I can do whatever, and they really probably don't care since it's a security thing and I'm not malwaring up their network on separate line.

In my exit interview, I complained about the cookie bar for the Wednesday lunch, and how all the chocolate chips would go immediately and then the caterers wouldn't bring out more until the entire tray filled with inferior cookies was consumed. On the plus side, I hear that they improved that part.
