Hence my blog title... Your DR strategy should not exist inside a vacuum. It should be a consideration for Change Mgmt. Every time there is a change the change is scrutinized from a DR perspective. Regular exercises keeps service owners on their toes. No one likes to fail. They will do what they can to make sure their…

COBOL? Cobalt is the color of the Fiestaware my wife and I collect. :-)

Question #2. The company I now work for runs SolarWinds ServiceDesk but is not yet using Orion platform for monitoring. Is there still a way we can leverage this feature?

I still quote the knight using the same diction. Maybe 1 out of every 10 times somebody gets the reference. Alas... poor me.

Wow! Excellent article. This is more a manual to execute against rather than just digest.

Obligatory Friday bump!

Goosebumps would be a blessing. I get Handy Manny, Sophia the First, Super Why, and so on...

In the "Architecting A Good Product" section please include the ability to patch it and monitor it. Your Support and Infrastructure folks thank you.

In my earl days with the company I went onsite, as the Availability Mgr (ITIL) to one of our warehouses because the workers were complaining of terrible VOIP performance and overall poor network performance. There is no Local IT Support. I did a tour of the facility and performed a manual inventory of the hardware because…

This needs to happen so bad. But I think the holdup is VMware. Their logging is less than ideal.

Tumbling dice... a sound that haunted me for years. We had amassed a sizeable army and they were well-armed and well-fed. Every once in a while the DM, my older brother, would role the dice for no apparent reason and when I would ask he would say, "X amount of men deserted." WHAT??? But we feed and clothe them!?!!?…

Impressive gathering. I am uber jealous. These pictures are cool. Looks like it was a really productive session.

SAP is getting on the Blockchain-as-a-future bandwagon oddly enough. And I am not sure why they are so soon. Granted, SAP has been criticized for being viewed as a stagnant company for the past few years, but this is a bit of a leap. As you long as you tell James and not Lars. Please don't tell Lars.…

You figure out how to monitor it so you can react before service impact occurs I love this line. I can imagine what it means in the Healthcare industry given all the custom and legacy applications and technologies that are hanging around that are considered mission critical.

I am excited to see the development of future integration between Cisco and SolarWinds products. Only great things will come from it.

Very cool. A robust IT career consists of many forks in the road. Soooo... how modern of a company is SolarWinds? Do they promote a remote workforce? ;-)

I am still doing well in this pool. Muuuuuch better than my already-torn-up NCAA brackets. I am jonsing to keep voting though. I can't wait for the next round to open.

A position/role that I have recently become fascinated with is the Data Scientist. I had the opportunity to spend some time with one at an SAP conference in August for their Leonardo product. Talk about meticulous...

Silly question because I am all about the new age parenting and stuff! But do we get participation mission badges even if we don't win? :-) The reason I ask is that we get badges for each monthly mission we participate in. I like to show off my virtual "sash o' badges" and I'd hate to have a gap for August 2016.

That's a freakin' huuuuuuuuuuuge fish! And yellow!

Thank you but not necessary. If my kids were older, or more difficult targets to hunt, then this would be a great prize. But if someone else can get better use of it then I would be happier. The SolarWinds folks go to great lengths to set these missions up for us. I am sure they would like to know their prizes are finding…

I have read on multiple occasions from multiple sources that the correct term is "crackers". Hacker is defined in RFC 1392: Internet Users' Glossary: hacker A person who delights in having an intimate understanding of the internal workings of a system, computers and computer networks in particular. The term is often…

Okay. I am totally lost on today's clue.

BUMP IT! BUMP IT REAL GOOD!

What I have come to learn over the years is that IT does not eat its own dog food. While we push our user community to open tickets to track requests and so forth. The internal-to-IT requests and so forth is primarily done through email or "walk up's". I am constantly battling other departments to open ticket #'s.…

I'm old fashioned. I like IE... Granted, not the only surfer I run... but I run that and I do use Bing. Go ahead... laugh all you want!

MS Teams scares me. I fear that I have gotten old and I now dread change.

Ooof! I have to go with the movie that revolutionized cinematography. However, the most foreboding, and often overlooked, detail of Minority Report is when people walked into stores and were immediately hit with personalized and characterized advertisements.

I stumbled across this article from October 2012 and I decided to read it. I find that very little has changed in the past 4 years. "The more things change, the more they stay the same!"

I would also throw in here to minimize and reduce wherever possible. I still see many instances where segmentation takes place on the physical layer (This I found baffling). sv_neal where does Monitoring and Capacity Management fall in these 4 areas?
