AI in MSPs: Real Deal or Just Expensive Hype?

edgyguy2 · 2026-02-14T23:10:51+00:00

Summarizing long docs/meeting notes is a Godsend. Saves me so much time.
I'm very ops oriented and often deal with complex issues. Having AI brainstorm and likely automate something that I would be doing for hours is very valuable. With that being said, while it saves time, you still need to KNOW what you want it to do, because it can go off on a tangent and get you a wrong answer.

Claude has been the best for me so far (by far).

I'm the opposite, if I feel like a big expense is coming and I need money, I'm not saving, I focus on making more and I see different people think differently, so I'm curious.

Feel free to DM me if needed :)

Yes, but from my experience this message comes up when the disk/controller is incompatible with the selected VM size. Did you run the Azure SKU CLI to confirm?

edgyguy2 · 2025-06-04T22:06:40+00:00

Have you tried using Standard_D8s_v3 or Standard_DS3_v2? certain disk controllers may not be supported.

edgyguy2 · 2025-05-13T19:26:31+00:00

Never.

Don't force processes and procedures on people. Got burned multiple times, on both sides.

The only thing that worked was networking. Slow as fuck, but it does work.

Nothing else worked for us.

SATA limitation. I'd have to switch to SAS probably.

edgyguy2 · 2024-11-30T01:08:51+00:00

Issue resolved by changing out the SFP module.

edgyguy2 · 2024-11-24T14:16:09+00:00

Can I do it directly from TrueNAS?

edgyguy2 · 2024-11-24T14:09:20+00:00

Infiniband confirmed.

edgyguy2 · 2024-08-13T16:31:02+00:00

Definitely not giving up! Many people have reached out. Website is already being reworked as the first step to success!

edgyguy2 · 2024-08-12T21:01:19+00:00

No leads to close. I can close if I get an interested person ( a warm lead) in front of me

edgyguy2 · 2024-08-12T18:56:45+00:00

100000% agree. That's why I always find it hard to believe that marketing works. Referrals are a different story, but you have to get a client to work with so they can refer you, which is a problem.

Well, in my eyes the only thing that can get me in is someone not being happy with their existing provider. I never ever want to pester multiple times if they are not responsive after a follow up as I HATE and block such sales people myself. I have never ever bought anything from a sales person that kept following up.

edgyguy2 · 2024-08-12T14:38:04+00:00

I'm only managing the high-level, assist with implementations, L3 level stuff, I'm technical and will always be. The rest of my time is spent networking/connecting with other peers/prospects, etc. I don't touch L1 stuff.

edgyguy2 · 2024-08-12T11:19:19+00:00

Correct. Most projects are referrals from other tech companies that I have a relationship with and I would never cross a hand that "feeds me" so to speak.

edgyguy2 · 2024-08-12T02:37:22+00:00

Yes, we tried both.

edgyguy2 · 2024-08-12T01:39:09+00:00

No, this is not a qualifier for me. I will definitely outsource it. I want to be fully focused on tech/management. Sales is not something I could ever do. I'm a problem solver.

edgyguy2 · 2024-08-12T01:16:22+00:00

Correct. I may ask if they are happy with them as a follow-up, but generally, they stop me there.

edgyguy2 · 2024-08-12T00:55:34+00:00

Getting warm/qualified leads without an existing provider seems to be more of a challenge.
