You know, you could have the most serious story in the country but as soon as you say it happened at a Piggly Wiggly, I just lose it.

Backup tapes alone each month cost more than just our backup business line. Thats without the server, backup system, tape drive, licenses, upkeep...
I really dont know how you can totally lose connected with two leased lines with 99.9% uptime from different ISPs on a 4 hour SLA terminating at different entry points in the building. The odds of that are extraordinary.
Two 99.9 uptime lines gives a probability of 99.999. So you could reasonably expect a disconnect once every 10,000 days. Or roughly 1 day every 30 years.
Basically this. Like I said Lockheed here has several lines and they all went down because one of the main pipes downtown went down due to construction. I don't know exactly how each ISP here is routed but I'm pretty sure we have fiber coming from 3 different companies here all of which went down from one main connection going down. IIRC one of backup lines is an OC192 connection coming directly from ATT which also powers our cell tower.Oh, just like when a local farmer cut that major fiber backend that AT&T owns here in kentucky, taking all cellular and virtually all wired internet services with it? Yes, it impacting TWC and various other service providers. Believe it or not, that's happened 3 times in the last year here in KY, someone has cut a major link and it takes down friggin everything. The mesh is not much of a mesh these days. Having dual ISP is almost useless in such situations unless you are using a satellite ISP or two for such things. Why so many systems depend on that link is beyond me, it's almost like the routing tables go, "derp" at the worst possible time.
I will always side with having services on the local network before I depend on internet connectivity and another company for things such as office documents, internal phone systems, and so on. I have seen many businesses that go the cloud method and lose massive orders because they depend on a program sitting in the cloud, and it not be available, and others that can still process orders just fine because they keep things as local as possible. I am referencing companies that use phone based ordering for farm equipment mostly.
When you are talking $100,000+ for farm equipment and you lose an order because your system uses a document stored on a webserver somewhere in the cloud instead of locally while your internet is down, yeah, you are screwed.
Yea, this.You know, you could have the most serious story in the country but as soon as you say it happened at a Piggly Wiggly, I just lose it.

And be realistic, what small company needs a tape backup? Like for real?
Yea, this.
So my rant for the day:
I hate people who mess with things. I was out yesterday and came in this morning to notice my boss had shut down all machines, moved a bunch of stuff, ate at my desk and got what looks like cake on my G710+, and greased up my company laptop. Wtf man.
C# makes so much more sense to me lol. Seems like PS is so damn cryptic... never would have known about 'join-path'. I did it the way I did it there because it was similar to String.Format's syntax in C# lol.
For the few interested and would like to give input/feedback, here ya go... The feedback would be greatly appreciated.
