I see a new feature coming...

It'd be nice to have more room for proactive monitoring monitors...

Backup backup backup....and then test, test, test

well, it does look like you're in an x-wing

my tummy hurts just thinking about it.

Just counting down the days until retirement...only 7305 left!

great article...unfortunately, I have yet to see anyone go from 1-5 directly. The steps in-between are inevitable.

LoL...I am that guy...I admit it... Of course, I'm usually the one who breaks it...

Love it!

I was humming and hawing about getting vman...I am so glad I did...my favourite feature? stale snapshots!

true, and then there are days when 12 hours seems like 1...those days, usually something bad happens near the end of the day and you're freaking out

or chocolate bars vs candy

Hmmm, I would have included KITT as well...definitely cooler than Spock...

I love it...but don't talk to me...it's the server's fault.

I hate naming conventions...but they are necessary.

I think a lot of people are going to start using MTTI...

Looks like a great bridge for my jeep...

loved the read!

I've been using Solarwinds for the better part of 10 years, and I still find new things buried in it...

My daughter is 3 and has loved Chewie for over a year now...we didn't realize this until my wife took her out shopping one day, and there was a Chewie doll on the end of an aisle. My daughter, who was 2 at the time, saw this and freaked out :"Mommy, mom,mom,mom, chewie doll, chewie" and then ROARED at the top of her lungs,…

The only truly secure network is one that is turned off... :-)

i love that we were discussing HA and FT, then all of a sudden, there's tons of pictures of airplanes...it's like I'm back home talking with my wife! :-)

it's halloween, maybe one is an evil twin

1. Public cloud, nope, are you crazy??? 2. private cloud, yep 3. of course - although if someone said, yes, I'm a highly certified cloud specialist, I'd laugh 4. yeah, I'm all about complexity - 10 servers, 8 switches, and 5 firewalls, to 100 servers, 35 switches, 35 firewalls, and about 15 other appliances...all in less…

ive never used kiwi...maybe i should give it a whirl...

There are so many to choose from, how do I write about just one? How about the day I used a file recovery tool to recover personal pictures off a corporate iphone 6 after it was securely wiped via a Blackberry BES server? or the day (way back in 1996) I used Novell's deleted.sav directory to recovery a client's POS…

preparing for the future is so important. If you don't do things properly in the "present" you may be re-doing them in the future to accommodate increases.

I think one other key is job satisfaction and job rotation - nothing worse that having to answer a phone 5 days a week, 4 weeks a month, 12 months a year.

except I don't know anyone that likes the new windows interface...
