So that's something decent from For real though, no one should ever buy EMC storage unless it's VMAX, and only that because you're swimming in money uptime is worth more than literally anything else. Nuclearmonkee posted:We just gave up and only run them during full down maintenance windows because they gently caress up way too often to even attempt it during production. If it fucks up you still get your p1 ticket and a call back within two hours if you're lucky. Tegile is...okay. They rely so heavily on the SSD layer for maintaining the dedupe table, and file system metadata, and read cache that the array falls over badly when it's full, and a lot of our Tegile customers have had that happen at least once.

Replying late to this, but how common is it for applications to install from here? Both of my company's products rely on the ability to execute files from appdata in some way and break horribly if this is blocked. I assume this is just a bad practice by our development team that no one is ever going to change because reasons. One of our products reliably gets quarantined by antivirus software every time it installs an update. I joked that they need to stop including eicar.txt in their source but nobody got the joke. The officially supported fix is to add the appdata\local\temp folder to the AV exclusion list. Man the more I post the more I feel the need to

Shouldn't legitimate programs use the program data or Windows temp folder for install files? Of course it requires carrying admin credentials through the installation, is this a problem for software engineers? I honestly don't get why companies use appdata as an installation dumping ground. Based on adware abusing it I imagine it's just easier to get around designing proper permissions.

Not really the same thing, but my only exposure to Hitachi storage was them trying very hard to win my previous company's business for their Amazon S3 object storage ripoff. My understanding is the offering was just getting off the ground, and they REALLY wanted a showpiece client to bring other users in (we would have been > 1 petabyte of production storage, so pretty legit usage). It did what we wanted on paper, and they were offering us ridiculous terms--something like a full year totally free. So we gave it a shot. It was a total loving clown show. Our account team very obviously just said whatever we wanted to hear, whether or not it had any basis in reality. During the POC we'd have a weekly call with them and ask "hey does feature X exist" or "we tried Y and it didn't behave as expected". And every time the response was "uhhh let me check with engineering, I'll get back to you in a few days" *dev team furiously mashes keyboards* "Hey so yeah that feature totally exists! Weird you couldn't find it in the documentation before this exact second. Thanks for asking about it!" Their post sales team wasn't any better. Multiple times our network engineer had to escalate issues up through their chain that had resolutions like "Hitachi whitelisted the wrong IP range by accident" or something. I ended up moving to a new job before the implementation was done, so I'm not totally sure if they ended up putting it into production or not. I've heard their storage arrays are very much Just Works, no frills gear. Which is great for a lot of use cases. But holy hell would I never touch any Hitachi managed service again with a 10 foot pole.

So we gave it a shot. we have had an AMS2100 in production for around eight years and we haven't had a single issue with it. super reliable. if my company didn't downsize we would be going with them again without a question (NetApp is what we are looking at now).

So uhh... Manchester has been a little blown up and I'm sat here in it's second tallest tower during the world's slowest evac, "Staggered" they said after sending home maybe 1/4 staff some couple hours ago, I think they forgot about the rest. Pretty much putzing around/wrote a few clean up scripts/back and forth setting up emergency procedures with the voip system, fully expect to work the rest of the day.

Alright, so I was just made aware of how my company handles credit card payments and now I'm sufficiently terrified. What an awful process. We don't do a lot of credit card payments, mostly just checks in the mail as we're mainly B2B. We already have software that creates invoices and does all that fun stuff, but I would like to find a new way for us to accept credit card payments to the point where we're not under PCI. My thoughts are us exporting invoices in batch to CSV, then uploading that CSV and have this service send out emails or allow clients to log in and confirm payment with an invoice number. I'm totally out of my element here. Any suggestions other than "replace the invoicing software with something that has integrated online payments?"

Thanks! I was looking at Stripe and saw their "Checkout" piece that was essentially somewhat pre-built, but didn't see this. Thank you. I doubt it integrates with what we're using and I want nothing to do with setting up something custom, but it is worth a quick look. I seems like something like PaySimple might work - https://paysimple.com/faq.html Basically implies it can do import/exports, so I'd hope that includes something like a CSV.

MC Fruit Stripe posted:No joke coming from the SMB world it took me so long to come to grips with this not being a thing at the Enterprise level. They're completely different worlds. I've gone from being able to tell you the entire service history of a particular server, to having absolutely no idea what those 60 VMs you're asking me about do. After a decade in IT I'll admit it's not necessary but I'll tell it makes life easier. The difference with SMB vs. Enterprise is when you're working in the former you're always in the same environment.

It's really not hard to learn. They have a 10 user SaaS solution for $10 per month. Set up an account, takes 15 minutes, and start using it. I've had sales teams pick it up in a pretty quick fashion, so I'm sure anyone reading this thread would be fine. JIRA on the other hand...
