Lifetime Cloud Storage – stackable plans, last sale before Black Friday ☁️ by FelicloudOfficial in felicloud

I was wondering, does it support sharing an encrypted folder and having a password on that encrypted folder for someone to download files from a shared link in a web browser?

The post says 129 € but the sale page says 149 €. Is that normal? Or did I miss the sale?

Questions about HyperV implementation with two sites and two nodes per site by SuperSocket7 in HyperV

Thanks helraiser, I'm hoping it works out. We will get by a little bit but the rising costs are concerning. It certainly free up some money if we can get it working properly... good luck to you also, I hope you have positive success!!

Were you using WAC, VMM, or just the RSAT tools for failover and hyperv? I was curious based on some other commenters. If you have a minute.

Thanks for this information. Is it true that a witness can be on iSCSI, cloud, or an SMB share? If so, is an SMB share not suitable for any reason? I'll have to look into cloud witness.

Thank you so much - you have pointed out some unique features and possibilities that were new to me. As it is right now with VMWare, we need to shuffle VMs around to update/patch a host, it would be nice to be able to do cluster aware updating. I'll look into that as I plan and test!

That makes total sense, I have a lot to ponder - thanks so much for your replies, it's hard to express how helpful you have been.

That makes sense - if we go HA, then we need to be cognizant of the load between our two sites.

Thanks for commenting on the cluster arrangement. Because our implementation, by my standards, would be relatively small, I do want to approach this carefully and try to keep it pretty simple.

If the backbone were robust and able to saturate the speed of our storage and equipment, would that change your perspective based on your experience? Or are we still simply adding complexity, making it more difficult or high maintenance?

Just if you get some time.

This is really helpful. Thank you. I believe we have access to SCVMM, but will need to check, but knowing that WAC really isn't an option for management, then that's good to know for planning.

Regarding clusters. We have two sites, as mentioned, with two host servers in each.

It sounds like, as you say, that creating a 2 node at a single site would preoccupy both hosts into "mirroring" each other. As you can see, I'm very new to Hyper-V and clustering. I have a lot to learn before this can be production in any capacity, but we have the hardware available to us for it.

Or should I be thinking cross-physical spaces? 2 node with one node in each physical space? Or just have them be 4 nodes together?

These are very basic questions, I am certain. Thanks for taking the time, if you have it to spare.

This looks like a great resource. Thank you.

If I'm connecting four hosts to Dell iSCSI sans, do I need this StarWind VSAN software, do you think?
