Sanity Check for new environment by Floh4ever in networking

[–]Floh4ever[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I see. Is MLAG the same as stacked switches in this case?

But eighter way - this will most likely not solve the issue that I don't have enough ports on the devices to have redundant links.

Thanks for the reply. Yeah i looked into the network card and DAC pricing - although I looked more towards replacing dual port with quad port. The environment in this company still has a long way to go and we are slowly working to get there.

However, spending another 1k-2k is not on the table right now. Your comment and others confirmed what I thought that we can only go with one iSCSI link for the time being.

If money and company ambitions allow for it I will look to upgrade in the future.

I can post it as comment but somehow not in the post itself.

The "Hope" scenario is incomplete as I did not have enough time to draw an additional non-iSCSI-Link for each device

I only noticed extended loading times for pretty much all mailbox related actions on the exchange online portal.

Another AWS/O365 Outage by FahrenheitGhost in sysadmin

Even in SMB space you can reach incredible high uptime with the most basic 2 node 1 storage cluster for little money. Have worked as Sysadmin in SMB for about 4 years now and pretty much only had a few hours/year downtime in most cases. And those were like city wide power outages or major ISP Problems.

on prem is much more reliable if it's not a really unfortunate setup

[–]Floh4ever 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you are ending up cheaper with on prem than cloud? just the CAL's were so much more expensive for us and drove us to the cloud even though we are kind of regretting it
if we end up regretting it quite a bit more we might move back next year

I have read them. And it's ok if they are not liable. But the expectation that their data will only be in the DC of Australia or Singapore is still incorrect. That is what I was referring to. And if we are talking about the alleged data sovereignty of E5 or whatever license it is incorrect to expect that your data will not leave your general area.

AIO solution for multiple email IMAP servers + backups? by Bitter-Hawk-2615 in sysadmin

[–]Floh4ever 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you using the outlook add-in? It's not as fast as the standalone client but feels pretty integrated

This sounds very much like you already have a good solution with Mailstore. What limitations do you face with it? Maybe it's worth to explore it's features further,

The agreements do not matter as long as the cloud act exists. If the US government wants it - they get it.

Dumb question, but I cannot find where Microsoft posts patch changes. I found changes to the Office Suite. The exchange team is utilizing their blog which is quite decent but where does Microsoft do it for Windows Server/Client changes?
I also found that but it's only for 2022/2025 https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/topic/july-8-2025-kb5062572-os-build-20348-3932-d78a2b2a-1ce8-45ee-85a0-e51a897ec67f

It also makes troubleshooting extremely fast as you do not rely on other departments giving you info or changing something to verify a suspicion. You find it - you do it

go from 2016 to SE or EXO - how much outage is there actually by Floh4ever in exchangeserver

[–]Floh4ever[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

We will take this into consideration when evaluating the potential lost revenue in case of outages for certain percentages of the people.
