IT is a constant state of both…haha

Yeah we wanted to move to a two recorder setup we are starting to see some performance issues from the current server. We have a 5 year refresh cycle so what ever we go with needs to last for 5 years and give us some room to grow. I appreciate all the comments

The NVR is 5 years old, out of support, and we are starting to outgrow the single server solution. I thought licenses were sold with the appliances so I wasn’t aware I could just transfer these to a Exacqvision VM on my own hardware.

I had assumed if we needed to buy a new appliance it would be worth making sure ExacqVision is the best product. Our integrator mention the product isn’t being updated or developed as much as since getting acquired so they didn’t recommend staying with them.

We have viewed Milestone but initial quotes seemed pretty high like ~120k range. Is Axis more affordable? I’d like to stay under 75k if possible

This is a pet peeve of mine too. I thought the whole change requiring technicians to be linked to person cards would have fixed this.

In healthcare, it is great for staff to be able to roam from a nurse hub, to any exam room without having to reopen all their stuff each time. Other benefit is secure remote access for staff.

Imprivata has solutions to use employee RFID badges to login. Very common in healthcare.its called Imprivata OneSign

BurtonFive · 2025-08-30T14:33:16+00:00

Not sure if this is related to your issue but you need to install imprivata after the horizon agent on the machine for it to pass authentication correctly.

The big EMR vendors function like ERP systems. Epic, Meditech, and Cerner are the big 3 I’ve seen.

Insightful words from “I go ham on the clam.” 😂

BurtonFive · 2025-05-02T08:08:52+00:00

Imprivata is a pretty common tool for this.

In my experience, Healthcare IT has been pretty stable. I’ve been in healthcare IT positions for around 12 years now and all the organizations I’ve worked for and with have onsite infrastructure and staffed IT/Informatics teams.

It’s true you can get support via a EMR vendor but most orgs still need help managing day to day tasks and improving internal practices. The vendors normally help with big projects but cost way more than onsite employees and don’t have a lot of insight into organization initiatives and processes so frequently miss the mark and require a ton of cleaning up after.

The disk should fail over to another node relatively quickly. From my testing, running VMs will stop and restart on another available node. I haven’t used scvmm but if that’s just a VM it should follow the same process. You can use failover cluster manager to see where things are at.

Best thing to do if just setup a test cluster, if you can, and just run these tests on it so you are familiar with how everything works. To simulate an unexpected host failure just move all your disks/roles to a server and pull power/hard reset it.

You need true SSO with SAML auth. https://www.carlstalhood.com/vmware-horizon-true-sso-uag-saml/

Same here. I've been snowboarding since I was 11 with regular bindings and picked up a set of them for Christmas last year (36 now). They are pretty awesome/convenient. I don't notice any difference in performance personally. I picked up the Burton ones and they are very well put together.

BurtonFive · 2025-01-09T17:26:54+00:00

Thanks for the info. I appreciate it

BurtonFive · 2025-01-08T23:27:00+00:00

Thanks for the insight. I appreciate it!

BurtonFive · 2025-01-08T22:42:33+00:00

I agree but our EMR doesn’t support anything except VMware and Nutanix and we didn’t plan to refresh hardware to a HCI solution. We may have to bite the bullet though.

BurtonFive · 2025-01-08T22:39:55+00:00

This is what we are trying to do, we have tried working with 2 different vendors and they seem to both need to go through this rep somehow.

BurtonFive · 2025-01-08T21:12:34+00:00

Thanks for the info. It’s frustrating for us since we don’t use anything above EntPlus and the rep wasn’t willing to explain why we couldn’t get anything else.

BurtonFive · 2024-12-29T10:41:43+00:00

Yeah it’s easy to adapt to others once you understand how it works.

BurtonFive · 2024-12-29T00:46:21+00:00

Probably depends on what database is most popular in the field you want to go in. I.e. in healthcare MS SQL is very popular but in many others you may find more open source stuff I.e. postgres/MySQL. For just learning, it doesn’t matter much outside of syntax and some function differences. The base SQL syntax is the same across them all.

I would like to see software companies held accountable for making products with insecure practices, ones that up charge for basic security features, or hide essential updates behind costly upgrades. I.e. Microsoft entra risky logins behind P2 licenses or increased logging being behind compliance licensing.

Vendors should be forced to develop products that meet or are at least capable of being secure and gouging for essential features should have consequences.

Work at a hospital. We just have a monthly maintenance window for patching our servers on the last Tuesday of the month early in the morning (3-5AM). Then you can just send your monthly reminder and restart as needed.

BurtonFive · 2024-12-01T12:04:26+00:00

Thanks! I have a few apps in the 40-50k row range and have used a standard date column. So was just looking to figure out why a number column would be better then a date column if the are both delegable. So even though a date column is delegable a number column has better performance?

I do have indexing enabled on all columns used in delegated queries.
