What Are You Doing Right Now

We got up early to clean the house today.
-
Just got a random call, in Greek, on the ancient house phone. That was weird.
-
Just got in to work...for some reason, on a Monday it takes me about 20 minutes longer than any other day...

I think that I tend to be up earlier, rather than later, on Mondays.

Yeah, I may need to leave 10 minutes earlier on a Monday in future...

http://community.spiceworks.com/topic/1432794-how-to-implement-windows-server-in-our-organization
First Windows server ever for the company OR the IT guy... yet it is Server 2008. Something fishy there?

A backup vendor asking if "big commercial databases" run from USB drives or FTP. Seriously?
http://community.spiceworks.com/topic/1432565-the-best-storage-for-big-databases
Here is the OP before the vendor takes it away:
Greetings for all!
Please tell which modern storage devices/solutions you are using (or just feel a most convenient) for big databases, especially commercial-level DBs with at least several thousands of daily transactions?
Fast external drives (USB 3.0, eSATA)
NAS units
Local FTP/SFTP/FTPS servers
Internet-connected storages (clouds, distant FTPs)
Dedicated storage vaults
Other device typesIt is also very interesting why you are using or suggesting a particular storage. Your answers are very important for our team, to develop better, faster backup practices for big databases.
Thanks for sharing your opinions!
Best regards,
Nataliya (Handy Backup Team)

Clearly that "backup vendor" isn't sure what databases even are. Not something you want to find out about your backup people.

Downloading Xen iso

XenServer?
Yeap, though it was about time to give it another go and look at XO after all the posts I see raving about it

Needs to be, that post was ridiculous.
What does "running an enterprise database from USB drive" or "running a database off of FTP" even mean? I mean... WTF!!!

Don't you know Scott this is the new "industry standard" for running mulit $$$$$ companies on. Means if the server fails you can drive home and plug it into your home PC and continue running the company

Spare server not posting so no testing XenServer today

Time for a new lab at home.
