We recommend users never store anything locally on their PC; instead they are told to save to a network share, which is backed up frequently, and restores of which are also tested regularly. Until we actually take away the ability to save to a local hard drive via GPO, the "non-recommended practice" of only saving locally…

It seems non-intuitive to me that limiting risks by limiting exposure is not a philosophy offered to the world. It's only common sense, right? * Keep your data where only you can access it, where you can access it at all times, no matter the state of an ISP or a WAN provider. * Put your trust in what you can control, and…

AOL laying off employees? I'm not surprised. I'm not impressed with their business model, their brands and the (apparent) slant to stories covered by some of their publications. For me, they're not a trusted source, and regaining my respect and trust will be a difficult challenge. Overeating at Thanksgiving: The disclaimer…

People forced to work without pay. Isn't that called "slavery"?

I see what you're saying. It sounds right--I'm accustomed to having to remote into a switch and issue a "show" command to find POE info. However, I see these traps are available in my Cisco hardware: snmp-server enable traps power-ethernet group 1 snmp-server enable traps power-ethernet group 2 snmp-server enable traps…

This was one of the best missions ever, IMHO, due in large part to it requiring thinking and more clicking, interpreting and viewing more than just the first page in the Hint. Thank you for making it more challenging! I learned more, and I feel it makes the points more valuable.

Nice. I read a new science fiction author's work probably every two weeks via Kindle. Like you, I enjoy the classics / Grand Masters, etc. Alfred Bester goes under-appreciated, in my estimation. The same goes for Cordwainer Smith.

Micro bump, since big bumps aren't getting the job done.

I was just exposed to the concept of Hadoop last spring by a sharp new DB Manager, and I was embarrassed to admit I didn't know anything about it. Worried that it might mean big impact to the data center network architecture, I started learning more about it realized our Nexus 7K's and 5K's, and future ACI deployments,…

Yes, you have an enviable position, seeing positive people implementing new ideas to fix new and old problems. I particularly enjoy your all-too-short shared stories about humorous conversations. Mindsets based on available skills for rebuilding VM environments--and thinking those processes apply for correcting failed…

I sympathize with your situation; we're also looking at getting out of UDT due to challenges it's placed on our nodes resources and inaccurate data being reported. On the other hand, when it works well it's sure nice and easy to use it to search for and find the switchport a node is attached to. That's a frequent task we…

We've been using ISE for two years now, and it's driving some major hardware replacements. Recent Cisco show-n-tells reveals ACI (or something that might as well be called ACI) is coming to the access switches' ports. That'll be complex and fun. It might just end up replacing ISE . . . time will tell.

I like combining off-site storage with another option. I'm not a fan of cloud storage due to security concerns, but it beats having all your eggs in one basket (especially if the cloud could really be secured to my satisfaction).

I'd never heard of Door Dash, and the article didn't seem to tell what it was. I Googled it and found it's a food delivery service. Meh. Yes, bad security is bad. But getting food delivered isn't part of my day/week/month/year. The odd part is that we hear about many giant data thefts and don't see media reports of the…

Any person, company, or nation claiming "supremacy" smacks of cold w@r era statements to me. Murphy's Law and karma tend to reveal those who make f00lish claims are f00ls in fact. A wise man leaves his mouth closed and appears ignorant. A f00l opens his mouth and removes all doubt.

Yes, it's hard to see availability decrease when moving services to the cloud. Services in the cloud were advertised to not only to be more available, but more affordable as the Microsoft license dollars saved were expected to (partially) offset the service costs of the cloud.

If AWS Lambda is "serverless", is it also running without hardware? If not, isn't the hardware on which it runs doing the same thing as a server platform? I confess to being ignorant about "serverless platforms', and I'm hung up on term as being inherently impossible. While people may have brainless thoughts, how can…

Is RADIUS working on your ISE? Ours isn't, although TACACS is working like a champ on it!

Back in the '90's I installed HP OV bundled specifically for an all 3Com network. It was wonderful! Everything worked well with it, because 3Com worked with HP to provide all the hooks, build custom icons, do network mapping, provide a fast GUI for every switch AND router. It made my life much easier. In the early 2000's I…

Often times common sense is not consulted when an impulse arrives. Similarly, I was amazed when I attended a recent movie theater and found at least four people in rows in front of me, or to my sides, frequently checking their smartphones for texts. Common sense says follow the polite recommendations and shut off the cell…

The correct answers are posted after the mission is complete at the end of the month. I know that doesn't solve one's burning desire to know what the right answer is when they received a red X for their labors. And it's no comfort to be advised to be patient until the answers are revealed--so I won't make that mistake. ;^)

Yes, it's intimidating what can be done there, much like with ACI and ISE. In fact, there's so much to be learned and analyzed and implemented, I've requested another group that take responsibility over. Unfortunately, they're no better staffed than my team, and they want to make policy decisions and have my team…

I wouldn't be surprised to learn it's a U.S. thing as much, or even more than, a U.K. thing, if we're just counting watchers-per-country. I don't know how anyone would actually identify the true numbers of watchers or fans per country. If we said 66 million people live in the UK, and 328 million live in the US, and 100% of…

I think the focus here is on Answer D. You are NOT incorrect, though--I agree with you 100%.

No matter how much it is discounted or verbally diminished or ignored, the WAN and LAN aren't going away. They might become much more automated, but both remain necessary for access.

Good old Otto Pilot!
