• Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
    Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

    Tintri on its way!

    Using Tintri's in a VDI environment. They simply kick ass. Chosen over 3PAR systems.

    Office 365 for mail

    Do it. It's a good service. I've migrated several domains over to it and have had great luck so far.

    Lets talk optics

    So, I used Fluxlight based on recommendations from others I've talked to. They've been great so far. I did have one fail, and called it in under warranty. Anyway, I put the SFP in my pocket and ended up forgetting about it and it went through the washer/dryer. I sent an email back to...

    What does Heartbleed mean for home networks?

    It's not as simple as simply upgrading the version of OpenSSL. That's not going to fix it. To actually FIX it, you need to re-key all your SSL/TLS certificates and remove all certificates that have been used with vulnerable versions of OpenSSL. Just want to make sure that you know it isn't...

    All-In-One: XenServer 6.2 vs. ESXi 5.5

    I run XenServer 6.0.2 and 6.2, currently running the Enterprise license. I haven't had but a couple of little quirks, which were fixed with a patch update.

    Can I / Should I attach 14tb of freenas raidz2 storage as iscsi?

    I have two different storage arrays, 16TB total on each box, attached through two NICs on each box (both 1gb) through LACP using iSCSI. This works like a champ and I have had no issues at all. Once you get to the command line menu in FreeNAS, tell it you want to create a bond and it will take...

    Help needed building SFF router/firewall

    I might suggest something from Fit-PC. I've purchased two units from them and they're solid. Dual Intel NICs, Atom or faster processor, upgradeable (to a point). They run pfSense like a champ. http://www.fit-pc.com/web/

    Network pics thread

    You really ought to get the other two hard drives and have the DO license consume them into your current CPGs. The nodes need to be balanced if you're running all of those node pairs as one. the 3PARs will RAID up....so CAGE 0, DRIVE 0, then CAGE 1, DRIVE 0, etc. I'm just assuming you have it...

    Network pics thread

    3PAR doesn't use RAID in the common sense that you add drives to the array. They use chunklets and RAID across the chunklets. You never have a hot spare/global spare drive. You have spare chunklets on all drives. You can set them to be available where when they are grouped, you can lose an...

    What do you make of this?

    If the DoD wanted to look at traffic, they're certainly not going to put a route in there. They are going to tap it and push it to any number of traffic analyzers.

    Alternatives to Ubiquiti AP's?

    As an admin of a very large Aruba deployment, I have nothing but good things to say about them. They get more expensive the more things you want the APs to do, detect, etc. I like the fact that if the AP isn't being used, it automatically goes into Air Monitor mode to be a wifi detector and...

    Cooling a small server room

    We have a mitsubishi mini-split system for AC cooling only. I live in West Texas where we can get to 0 degrees at night and 110 in the summer as well. The mini-split has worked perfect.

    Palo Alto vs SonicWall, what am I missing?

    PA is expensive because of their software, which is their secret sauce. Basic firewalling and whatnot is basically the same as other devices...but with PA, you aren't looking for the same as other devices. Rules for adding internet access are something like: trusted zone --> untrusted...
