The NBA Hall of Fame doesn't sound too bad. For my wife's birthday I surprised her and took her to a gas station for lunch! She loved it! R&R Taqueira located in a gas station, as showcased in Diners, Drive In's & Dive's/

"If your only tool is a hammer then all your problems look like nails!" - one of my Top 10 favorite quotes I still use tracert a lot, and I mean the raw MS-DOS version (Begone with your "command prompts"! I cut my teeth on Windows 2.0 and DOS 3.?) I've used some other "enhanced" tracert tools over the years... but when I…

SO how does one get considered to be an author for this?

... And we said goodbye to a really cool guy, Lawrence Garvin.

How do you manage mobile & tablet infections?

*sniff* Do I smell DevOps? lol! Collaboration is key, always has been key, always will be key. Personnaly, I am not a fan of DevOps in its current iteration. Call me old school but I like a little separation of duties between the two groups. Checks and balances. Evolution takes time and it shouldn't be fast-tracked. But I…

Methinks Uber and United need a PR makeover. They keep shooting themselves in the foot. I would have made a rabbit's foot joke up until this week... I've always liked the quirkiness of Ballmer. Gates was great, but he was sooooooo boring to listen to.

I read this article and I start to get the shakes. The mere thought of hosting my critical apps with a Cloud Provider is a very scary proposition. But if I did... I would definitely sway my Leadership to go with one of the major players in the market. This is not the place to save a dime. I would also budget for…

"...and your one-stop is Thwack!!!" Seriously! Not to be a total suck-up but Thwack stands as a great jump point for all of these topic areas.

If all you do all day is the same exact thing and there is nothing else expected of you, ever!, then yes... you may be at risk of automating yourself out of a job. However, chances are someone else is already thinking about doing that to you. If you are like the other 90%+ of us you have more work to do than hours in a day…

Yea... but if that is the case then it should be on a question with technical answers. These answers are more subjective. I just think this is a case of OOPS! by the Solarwinds team when trying to be creative.

So here is the $64k question... How does SolarWinds Patch Manager play a part in all this?

Alert Central is dead! Long Live Alert Central! <sniff> <sniff> Change can be difficult... Onward & upward! Viva la OpsGenie!

We are organizing our perimeter now. I am currently dealing with 3 different models of firewalls: CheckPoint, Cisco ASA, Fortinet Fortigates. They are all in various stages of neglect (Solarwinds couldn't pick a worse time to drop FSM) We have LEM running and I am just itching to start send firewall logs to it. Much of…

Good article, nice approach. One should assume a calm and deliberate mindset when faced with these "sky is falling!" announcements. I had to talk execs off the ledge with Spectre & Meltdown. I am hoping the effort extended there will buy me calmness for this latest, in a long line of, "calamities." It seems that every…

Hi all, When do we expect the announcement of the winner for the trip to Austin for ThwackCamp?

I got today's question wrong... :-(

I sure don't trust cars when I am in a crosswalk... still see too many people looking at smartphones while driving. I think I trust people when I have to trust people and I have no choice. Nurses/doctors, EMT's, police, auto mechanics, etc. Other than that I trust my wife and my mother.

I will recuse myself from any Rudy Giuliani commentary for fear of going off on a tangent that will probably get me kicked off Thwack... which would only add to my misery. As for your conspiracy theory... I am always willing to hitch my wagon to a good conspiracy theory! Let's saddle up! I read through it. I like it! My…

Wow! I read all of your responses before answering today's question. I then attempted and got the answer wrong. Yeah.... someone needs to check the math on today's possible answers.

It is baffling to me that it is already April 2018.

The challenge, as I have always seen it, is how to get all of these moving parts to function cohesively. A combination of processes/procedures, staff, technology to keep the ecosystem cycling efficiently. I am of the mindset that to reach nirvana is to streamline and standardize as much as possible, even sacrificing…

You raise valuable questions with this blog post, sfoskett .I am curious to know how many other Thwacksters out there have more than 5 SAN's in their landscape today. I use 5 as the threshold to attempt to justify the purchase of Solarwinds Storage Mgr. Also, with the high-end SAN's (think IBM) they come with their own…

On a bright note I think your Idea has broken a record for getting the all-time lowest score... lol

Do not worry I am a lifelong Orioles fan. I will be attending my 25th straight Opening Day in 3 days and I cannot wait for it. Hand to God, it is my most favorite day of the year! It beats my birthday, Christmas, 4th of July... you name of it.

We moved to O365 about 18 months ago. There were some bumps and bruises along the way and we still have a bunch more to learn but it has been totally worth it. Next step for us is to move to E5 licenses and take advantage of UCAAS opportunities. The freedom of the burden of the on-prem infrastructure was worth it alone.

Okay... am I the only one who is thoroughly impressed with the water-tightness of the server room in the first picture? And how about the cleanness? You can see through that water like a fishtank. That means that room is really clean. Kudos! <golf clap!>

And consider the overhead of the resources required to update the monitoring/reporting whenever there is a change made to the landscape. This type of visibility is far from a "Set it and forget it" scenario. In industries that have constant change even the most basic monitoring is always 1 or 2 steps behind. Complex…

You would be surprised how many don't. And of the ones who do, the low % of the services and deliverables that they take advantage of. Many busy IT shops take their products, install it, and then take a "Set It! And Forget It!" approach to them. The real benefit is to incorporate the enterprise services offered by the…

The only workaround to these issues that I know of is to streamline. Reduce, minimize, less moving parts equals les things to blame when Hybrid IT goes belly-up. It works only-so-well but it is a sound practice to try to adhere to.
