don't remember a stratos in sega rally?

Last year we actually had one drive fail every month till October across all sorts of devices. Equalogics Eon Nas HP DLxxx HP P2000 TT

Have run raid 5 arrays since 1999, lost many a drive but the array has always rebuilt. TT

I would avoid biometrics. when looking at tills make sure the brand is well recognised like Poslinge Odysse which are found all over the place. Then if you change software vendor they should still be able to use the till. TT

Your lucky then. One of the reasons i prefere Dell is they still allow people without contracts to maintain their hardware.

1st thing to consider... Do you have anyone that has the 1st clue how to use anything more than an 8Ch stereo mixer... If not then you could be wasting a lot of money. My old place had a fully kitted out sound proofed, windowed multi room patched recording studio. Never got used for more than a kit store. TT

think they were ~10K each but was not paying too much attention to the cost as someone else was on that part of the project. Only have 1 Dual 10Gb card in them unlike our other "Virtual Server" cluster where there is more of an issue if a card should fail. Disks I think were a pair of 300Sases... Again did not pay much attention as they are not really being used. We hit a block last thing though when trying to add them to Vcenter. The ESX is 5.5U3 and the current vcenter is for U2. So we have an emergency change in tomorrow morning to update VCenter TT

Got 3 new Dell R730's today. Dual 18 Core , 384 of Ram. They have this QuickSync facility which allows you to interrogate the server with NFC and an android app. I was also able to configure the DRAC's IP It took about 2hrs to get all three racked, networked and VMware 5.5 installs finished including out basic 3 virtual switches per host All ready for new citrix deployment ... 2 more to build for the DR site... TT

The HDD's will shovel data faster than the LAN. Theoretically you should get 125MB/s straight transfer but it's never likely to get to that. So it sounds like there is a problem. Common issues would be loops and duplex/speed mismatches. What models are the switches. TT

From you HP support contract. And their in lies the potential downfall.

At my last place we had a large company do the cisco install on the sister site. I had not seen the design but it was supposed to mirror the main site. It took 8 months for them to supply the switch password, and less than 2hrs for me to discover that there was daisy chaining 7 layers deep!! It was supposed to be Core -> Distro -> Edge with redundant links. Nothing was redundant. When I questioned this with the supposed "CISCO" expert he said it was fine. I asked for two second opinions from CCNA's . They said it was appalling. It was reworked!! As for the OP: , it can sometimes be difficult to simulate network load. Are all the edge switches 1Gb, are all the PC's 1Gb? TT

one of my suppliers who puts in our data points etc. Me: "Hi sup, can you supply me 2x 1u 19" Brush strips" sup: "What's one of them, why do you want it??" Me: "Eh it's a19" Brush strip for a cabinet. And I need them" sup: "like a cable manager, whats wrong with the arm style ones I use?" Me: "So I can get power cables out the front of the cab." Me: "Hi sup, can you supply me with 10 30cm red CAT6A patch leads" sup: "Why do you want them" Me: "Because I need them" sup: "30CM?" Me: "Yes" sup: "Why so short?" Me: "I don't want them any longer" Me: "Need a 620 or 630 RPS" sup: "What for?" Me: "err, RPS for the 2910's" sup: "Will have a look, think I have a 610 in stock, or something else.." Sigh.... 610's are not even supposed to be compatible. Me: "Quote me some AP's for this wireless I need" sup: "I have these, or these, we use these all over" Sigh.. It's 2016 and they don't even do "N" FFS: I do all the leg work, specify just what I want and the "Expert Supplier" either does not know what he is doing or questions everything I am doing.

Once you start to segregate traffic it's up to you how you do it. Multi Client VLANS Server Wireless Printer CCTV VOIP BMS DAG/Mail replication DMZ External

Could you expand as I don't think that's possible on IOS, Procurve or Comware without Bodgery. The only reason I would not use a /24 would be to have fun using ip addresses 0 and 255. TT

Linux Management.. Webmin Been around for ever. TT

unless your doing any routing with vlans, which by the sounds of it your not. then the switches don't realy matter as the IP/subnet is just for management. With a network of 50 switches you need to be vlanning to cut that broadcast and to break up traffic. TT

Ah yeah that's the proper acronym... I think I have a disk for it in my software wallet in the dining room.. TT

I am with FFJ.. I run /24's and vlans keeps broadcasts contained. TT

ISS is a correct microsoft product and was the forerunner to TMG. TT

If one teacher releases their class according to "their time" it may be five minuets before real time and the receiving class may be 5 minutes after real time. Chaos Time. TT

ISS? Do you mean IIS

Microtik

Firmware will probably need to be up to date. TT

I would be careful doing anything on wi-fi the function may be there but on a bussy wifi network it will make the wi-fi busier.
