Losing it means that everyone I know will pay more for less. I have seen many if not all of the reasonable arguments on both sides. I want Net Neutrality. I buy a connection to the Internet. I want to access things connected to the Internet. What I do shouldn't matter. If I use "too much" we can talk about that, but its…

Yup, and you really have to pat attention to this one in my experience. Once in a while you work with a TAM that helps you, but we do quarterly check ups to review how well we use everythign that comes with this.

I can't say I like empty shelves, but I think this is a groundwork change for more to come. I also didn't like it when I walked in and saw apples in 3 spots. My guts says that if you run out of banana's that's a really bad thing in Amazon's eyes. And I think they are preparing the store for more changes, if you want to…

I agree, that was a great addition

We ignore most startups, but brought VMTurbo in to take a look at, liked it, ran a POC and bought it. Everything it does, it does well, and new features are consistently being added. All with very little effort from our team, and a price tag that didn't force it into next years budget. In a lot of ways they remind me of…

So clearly in the Solarwinds world, PerfStack is meant to bridge this this exact need. If your Orion has NPM, SAM, VMan, and SRM you ahve all the datapoints. Not everyone can do that, and its important to know how to do manage it in something like excel or a standalone database. But I will say that I rarely need that much…

I think you should get your own SNMP OID and use that

The testing began right away, I expect that if something needs 2016 we will be ready for it shortly, but otherwise it won't be the default OS for another year or two.

We have most of the tasks automated to provision a server in VMWare, we know that it could be everything with a little bit of effort, but today where most time is spent is upfront. We build about 10 windows servers a week in VMWare, but we have a wide range of needed builds. (We have almost a 1000 server based applications…

I want what rschroeder wants.

We started using Secret Server last year. I was a good choice, and took very little time to get started. Now we are starting to offer it as a service beyond our core Infrastructure teams. It takes some getting used to, but its nice to have a consistent method across teams, and a good way to share passwords (or not since it…

I need the right information at the right time. Any other alert is trash.

I need to think of something clever to swap out for "Alexa" Suggestions welcome.

Anybody else seeing thwack point weirdness? I see this (which is either correct or close) But the rank has me slimming down a bit:

Does this help?

Thank you! The previous MVP's have all been very helpful, I hope to be as well.

Users have office 365 installed locally on their computers, and connect to a fully on premise Exchange environment. SharePoint is in the cloud and and a "latency" issue stopped outlook from opening if they had previously connected to specific resource types.

I have seen something similar when my database needed more resources. Adding 2 more vCPU and 4 GB Ram to the SQL server stopped, I had the luxury of seeing the waits in DPA, but just slowness in the message center reminds me to take a look at my performance stats.

@"Vinx"I think you mean this page: https://thwack.solarwinds.com/t5/Announcements-Blogs/bg-p/announcements-blogs Which has a new feed here: https://thwack.solarwinds.com/xcdhs76427/rss/board?board.id=announcements-blogs

People see it. But past questions have trained Thwack users to read the details. And the product does not just what is in front of you when you click, but 3 items from the 4 listed.

Jfrazier​ Brings the wisdom we need

Maybe they are all equally important

Love this idea

Can you bring a laptop and put a earbud in? Hide in a corner?

I remember installing it on an Apple Macintosh classic after I downloaded it from an FTP server. Things that happened in those years changed the course of my life.

The Success Center is a much better interface to product information. Thanks!

Cool, time to crank up the creative juices

Same here, and I agree with you that Cloud Service providers are not hypervisors, they use them.

Trust, privacy, and anonymity are going through adolescence on the Internet. Hopefully they make out the other side of this life change as well balanced adults, but today they are moody and unpredictable. Today it is hard to know who to trust, how to keep what's important private, and the trolls know just where to apply…

Where the logs are are less a concern than what happen to that data. Right now VMware logs get sent to VMware vRealize Log lnsight, which has a bunch of out of the box information on what's going on in VMware. With staff going much slower than my installed network, I need every ounce of "help" sorting through that data and…
