Kashuno posted:That's where I'm at; idk why we had considered Simplivity as an option, and I just sat through the most embarrassingly bad sales meeting ever with them. Trying to narrow down some storage options to put in front of upper management. Comparing Tintri and Tegile is next. Simplivity isn't particularly impressive, even in the hyperconverged space, which is still fairly niche. We sell both Tintri and Tegile and I've got a fair amount of experience with both if you've got questions.

On-prem toilets are an obsolete model of toilet implementation. The future of the toilet is placing it in the cloud. Poop in the great Azure waters of the ocean. Place the security of your companies poop and poop-based rear endets in Microsoft's hands.

What y'all need for Office Toilet 2.0 is a collaborative brownspace to more effectively leverage the synergistic creativity generated by communal evacuation. Basically this with a whiteboard.

Yeah, get in touch with the CS/CIS department secretaries at all your local colleges and trade schools, and they'll let you know which faculty members you should talk to. They're eager to place their new graduates, so most of them run job boards/lists; the better placement numbers for their grads help their school's numbers look better besides.

I was just thinking it'd be funny if there was an equivalent to day laborers hanging out in front of Home Depot for Tech workers out in front of Fry's electronics. You'd pull up in your Prius and yell out "ASP! Three! Powershell? No? You? Powershell? Get in!"

Tegile can provide some per VM metrics through their VCenter plugin, but it isn't as detailed as the Tintri metrics. It can't do any of the per VM replication, snapshots, clones, or QOS. The Tegile array will support non-virtual hosts, block storage and CIFS, if you need that. The Tintri will be very low touch and probably perform better if they are sized similarly, but it's virtual storage only, NFS only. I like Tintri more fwiw. It's probably the closest thing to "set it and forget it" storage out there.

Motherfucker, my boss just started getting emails from some Indian dude at Microsoft asking to get into a SAM engagement with us. The thing is, we are as busy as gently caress right now (ironically much of it is because of Office 365 being such a shitshow, for example the huge Sharepoint outage today), but still, it couldn't be any more clear cut: - We have developers all at one site all with Macs and up-to-date MSDN licenses. - We have sales people at another site, every last one has a company owned, admin-locked-down laptop with genuine OEM Win 8/10 Pro. - No Windows servers whatsoever, no CALs to worry about. - Just started an EA subscription for enough Office365 E3 licenses to cover everyone, two months back. There is absolutely no dirt they are going to find on us, I'm a huge cheapskate but I run the place squeaky clean. I just really really don't want to deal with more spreadsheets and paperwork right now, especially with MS who come up with just about the worst of it. What is the quickest way out of this? I'm thinking some combination of getting our company lawyer in on it, calling the 1st-party Microsoft sales rep I bought the EA from (who clearly owes me a favor for that fat commission), explaining the situation honestly and that it's going to waste their time and ours and that he should tell his buddy to screw... that's my knee jerk reaction and I'm not sure I can muster anything more diplomatic than that.

Well, it would take you not much longer than that to fill out the spreadsheet they sent you with the same info in that post. Got through my last one with <5 hours invested. You can escalate your way out of it sometimes. You can also easily delay it by three months.

What if you just email the person "This is our official headcount, your own documentation says we have that many licenses, I certify there are no windows servers anywhere. Can we just call this done?" (Only research being the headcount.)

From what I've read, it doesn't seem possible/easily doable on Tegile especially compared to Tintri. Does that sound accurate? We just deployed ~300TB of Tintri for a customer's ESXi environment. This is on top of ~150TB they already had and they seem to like them a lot. We had one deployed in our lab and I love it because I hate storage and find it the most boring thing ever. Tintri is great because you don't really need to worry about managing it and it can bombard you with all kinds of useful information.

Roargasm posted:Haven't you been proudly posting for months and months about ebaying literally everything in your business, making frankenservers, and scamming hp warranties? This might not be as simple of a process as you are expecting My two frankenservers run Xen and all Linux VMs, and my eBayed laptops and switches are all HP. The laptops are all the same one model with the Win 8 Pro license baked into the Bios and we use produ-key to extract and log those all. The HP warranties aren't even a scam, they are explicitly transferable. As far as Microsoft is secured our asses are covered, I haven't given them an inch. Probably the shadiest thing I do as an IT guy is if I have some network device with no support contract I might search the internet for a mirror to the newer firmware. But I don't gently caress with the 800-pound gorilla.

It's not a confrontational process. As other people have said either take the 2 hours to fill out the spreadsheet or tell them you are busy and to check back in in 3 months. It's not a full blown Microsoft audit. They won't even scan your network.
