Well said adatole​ !!

On the topic of SLA's.. you have SLA's with your business side and you have SLA's with the could vendor. Do they align ? For example, you have a 2 hour SLA to resolve certain things. Your vendor has a 2 hour SLA to resolve those things once it is brought to your attention. So you discover a problem 5 minutes after it…

Morning #bumpsquad​ bump !

We have other challenges here... When a server is provisioned it is provided a DHCP based ip for a "provisioning vlan". When it is moved into "production", it then gets a new static IP. The first is automated and the second is more of a manual process. Ideally, IPAM would provide a quick source of the new static…

I would agree, for some Chewie has been known to them for a good part of their lives...while Hermione only in the last decade and change as their kids grew up....

it seems like most things are not safe anymore...

Approaching the end of August and had to provide a little content for this... Bacon wrapped pork tenderloin - smoked marinated overnight in apple cider/spices, then applied dry rub before wrapping in bacon. Smoked at 250 for about 2 hours until 146 internal temp, pulled off smoker wrapped in foil and let rest 20 minutes…

Yes...I recall hearing that as well...dang that was back in the late 90's.

rain just really getting started here bump.

ecklerwr1​, well at least it is a dry heat

Probably going to go for the fridge though...

So would that be "Pokemon Go Home" ?

I need to see if Ginger Browns might try and make these or a variation of them. They are a small hole in the wall restaurant on the west side of Fort Worth and renowned for their cinnamon rolls.... At the fire department there is a family that drops of a dozen (2 boxes) pretty much every week...still warm. Nothing but pure…

When we do upgrades we have a select representative test set of monitors that mirrors each type in production as it would be hard to do a full regression test of everything. Maybe not a DEV license, but rather a non-production license which would cover dev/dr/QA/test like HP does. It runs about 25% of the PROD level…

Agreed designerfx​, it is a combination of all three as in collaboration. The given example is when one of the three was flawed and therefore broke down the rest as a unit. People/Process/Technology are all players on a team...it takes teamwork and proper application of all three to win. The failure to fully analyze the…

that is why you need a data warehouse...to keep all that data out of your garage. Then your daily database is lean and mean. Your nearline database (data warehouse) is used for all the heavy queries and reporting.

Congrats to SoftwareOne as well !

Yep...agreed.

kong.yang​ speaks the truth here ! Reporting is an art and a science...good reporting also seems to involve some magic and requires to some extent a true artist. Bad reporting is just smoke and mirrors wrapped around some data. I am looking forward to future updates on this series !!!

Tuesday morning bump !

techstringy​, no problem. I was only attempting to give a (fairly - well very) brief back history on where virtualization began. Understanding where it began and to show the progression and rapid growth as a result is important. It also goes to show how things are re-invented for new purposes and re-marketed. What was old…

Ah, more acronyms and not a single magic decoder ring to decode them all.

monday bump !

several = 3 or more with no defined endpoint, ambiguous response meaning it could be a short wait or it could take awhile which is another ambiguous response indicating that it will take considerably longer without giving a clue as to a defined range.

miseri‌ and ecklerwr1‌, I seem to be having the same issue.. What seems to be the obvious answer is not working.

Just got to look at the swarm robots and such... interesting article...not to mention other articles on that page leading you off down a big rabbit hole. This "stuff" is so much science fiction coming to life. Just think, the ability to 3-d print autonomous things means we are not far from fabricators. Just feed it a…

I have seen this work in one environment and fail in others since. The challenges dealt with workload, ensuring everybody was on the same page, consistency and quality were also big players. It also helped when the NOC and Help Desk were members of the same team....

Wow adatole​ that sounds like a fun trip. Congrats to Dez​ with her new Head Geekness !! She'll do great ! Hmmm... a mini swug. Looking forward to getting updates and such. Pictures or it didn't happen !!

Post Turkey Day Tryptophan coma bump !

Simple answer..company policy.
