uh huh…
Dell checks your credit for business accounts, i have a business credit card from dell, it reports to Dun & Bradstreet.
oh i see what you mean well the owner of the company would be doing this not me, i don’t own the company i just need to know what is good to order thats all as far as server wise goes
Anyway - We have an assload of Poweredge 2650s, 2950s and 1950s. The latter two are for our VM solely. They’ve been great and when needed (only once since I’ve been here) the techs that they send out to us (unisys) actually know what the hell is going on.
Sherm keeps harping on me to recommend bladeservers but at the bandwidth a couple of our systems use we’d overwhelm the bladecenter.
We are running all our servers (with the exception of 1 DC and a couple random servers) off our SAN, if that makes any difference to you.
Anyway - funniest thing :
“Hi, Howie? I don’t know why, but my blackberry is not working anymore.”
I go over and take a look - i take it and it looks ok, but I notice some moisture in the screen.
“Has this been immersed in water or something?”
“No? why?”
Open case, check litmus paper, completely red, on the battery, and the case.
Take a whiff - smells like coffee.
Hrmmm…
How would you over whelm the blade center?
The C Class HP blades have Cisco Switch modules you can put in them…
You can trunk the ports…no issue.
It’s amazing the calls you get in IT. Some people shouldn’t even be allowed near anything that plugs in.
That being said, some of the supporting IT staff that I work with are so horrible with customer service, they shouldn’t be allowed near another human being.

it guy1: Oh, it runs fine on the other ones.

it guy1:So we can monitor if people are doing anything bad.

me:Yea, bring your boss over here right now.
Itguy1:I have to call him.

It Boss: whats the problem.
Me: The problem is you have a key log tracker that records peoples names, Credit card numbers, addresses and personal information, social security numbers.
Boss: we wouldnt use it for that.
Me: thats not the point, you have one corrupt IT guy in this place and hundreds of people get there indentity stolen, how do you not see that, PLUS that program eats so much memory and slows down the computer enough that I went to find it.
Boss: your not supposed to alter the programming in any way.
Me: I will when peoples lives, money and integrity are at stake, plus I dont need you knowing all my passwords too.
Boss: where are you going with this?
Me: Im going up the ladder and your coming with me, this is NOT ok in the least.
