They demoed it at Spiceworld London during the Windows 10 session. Kind of old news

They called it continuum back then.

Commercially, I'd love to use this for production "demos" to clients.

Show them "This is your network on a SAN" watch me break it

Then show them "This is your well designed proper network, watch me break it and recover from it quickly.

@coliver

See if they have the nuts to claim they have no kickbacks or vendor agreements.

Then, see if they are willing to sign an agreement which prohibits them from receiving benefits in kind from the vendors they recommend.

You would not believe how many calls I have received asking to be a reseller of brand X. I was trying to spec desktops for a customer, so off I went to suppliers, only 1 of them understood we were consultants and what we were trying to do, get the spec & price, give that to end customer, then supplier invoices our customer directly and they get the hardware.

So many vendors/suppliers don't make it easy for the guy in the middle as they want to turn you into their biggest rep.

Or...Hire a system designer to spec the kit for you

Any feedback from those using it?

Look at tier zero.

These guys?

You used them in production? Any comments?

Bumping this.

Pertino looks like a perfect fit for a new client, the gateways feature looks amazing...

But sadly, Enterprise only. Why does that restriction exist. sigh

Looks like it's back to on site firewall with a site to site VPN.

Making the leap from one man MSP to a functional multi-person company is not an organic one. Only in the rarest cases can you just go from working alone to having a team.

Would this not also apply to businesses of other shapes and sizes?

If you want to go from a single restaurant to 2 locations, there is a cost, there is a leap you have to make, a decision which carries risks but it could be an investment that pays off, many times it does not but on the occasions it does pay off, wow.

Well I had to say something

I love not being an MSP.

Umm, I think Access, along with Viso is a separate addon in your billing portal.

Yeah remember ML/GS has one employee me..... no budget yet for paying someone else to do it. and I did look into it and the cost was VERY high for this.

Is it something the vendors could chip in with and help?

@Minion-Queen said:

There is tons of research.

Outsourcing! Get an event planner to do this for you

@scottalanmiller said:

Yup, that's why you don't keep a warehouse of DVDs if that's the risk and you have no value to storing them

But there is value, the problem is where is this risk coming from.

You've still not identified how it is legal or even possible for a complete random to compel me to pay them to search them.

What would we do without the corporates and their legion of lawyers.

Can't we all just get along...

UnITed

I like it but I'm sure there is some evil corporate who have that name somewhere.

@Dashrender said:

There is a good chance you would have to.

Umm, why?

@scottalanmiller said:

It's you who decided to keep records, I suppose.

That's akin to suggesting because I have a warehouse of 1000 DVD players which they want to check, I have to pay them for their time to check it.

@scottalanmiller said:

Typically, yes. But the lawyer who works for the opposing side. And often you are forced to pay for that lawyer.

Eh-hem, pardon? Is this not what happens when you are ruled against? What do you mean I have to pay for them to search my records?

@scottalanmiller said:

Every single private conversation, every business transaction, every deal, every discussion.... shared with people who hate you to a point they will pay to see you in court?

Hang on, I thought the lawyers looked at this for evidence pertaining to the action they are bringing or am I severely mistaken?
