HOW MUCH PER HOUR?

for real, how much say per hour could you realistically charge?

I wish i had more windows in my office. only one standard one. but i really love it and look forward to making it really something special. i've got 700 sq ft to work with of a wide open room. just a 42" tv, bose cinemate system, xb1, my desk with 2 22" monitors, server rack, and a bunch of S everywhere

so for 10-20K you could open an internet cafe down there and charge how much per session at a chromebox?

the way to go would for sure be chromebox.

@MattSpeller come on and pick them up. with a few billz ha

i've got two HP DL360s i'll sell to someone if they want them. 16gb ram each. i've got 6 or7 of the 15.1k drives as well.

they are SUPER LOUD i have two here in my office at home and man.... unless i'm lab testing, they are off. and my office is real big lol

shoot me prices. i'd like to see what all the hype is about.

So, I have reached out to a fellow Mangonite to be an extra set of eyes/fingers on my little gig this weekend.

Basically we're taking 3 VM hosts each running ESXi 5.5 (free) and the end goal is to get them migrated to Hyper-V.

As of now, we have had victories and a few opportunities for victory. We had hopes of just running a backup, using the 5nine v2v converter and boom. nah, esxi free is killin us. so.... the quick and dirty goes like this Backup using vBackup from Thinware and dumping the backup onto our nas so after we have our glorious backup on the NAS ended up using Starwind's VMDK converter. two servers are backed up and converter is running. here's to hoping they spin up post conversion. Starwind's converter takes into account the fact that you're moving from esxi to something else, so it prepares the vhdx to boot into driver repair mode initially so it can load the new non VMware drivers on the Hyper-V host. anyway, that's where we stand so far. I'll do a little vBackup writup later, gonna go patch some systems while i'm waiting on the converters to finish.

Big thanks @dafyre so far!

click through, I always get that one

adam, want to talk to you about a possible switch to your product sometime?

and that was with design help from pertino. if a device/resource needs to be accessed off lan, stick a client on it. so our app/dc/sql/rds servers all have pertino installed on them. works great. local traffic still uses 10.x.x.x pertino uses 172.x.x.x

we use pertino only on our laptops and "out of office" computers. not installed on every workstation, that would be silly. We use pertino essentially as a vpn, a means for those geographically separate devises to still use LAN resources securely and easily (doctors, nurses, etc)

not that this adds anything to this discussion...but i'm going to look into ZT as a possible Tino reinforcement/replacement.

yeah, i'm happy with my current potential setup

about to reinstall a doctors BootCamp windows. have to do that every now and then to keep it running well. weird weird.

How would starwind help here? if it's useful, i'm down. i just dont know enough about it to on a whim whip it up in a production environment.

He (me) doesn't want starwind.

Scott, you feeling like a shiny turd this morning?
