Bank with Natwest and uae Use freeagent, its then free and has a decent API!

This doesn't work when you need to restore a backup to a different set of hardware in the event of hardware failure.

Re: Why is it tricky

employement law might be the same but it all really depends if they have the same contractual with their employee's as that is where the complication adds up, i/e do they all run holiday season april to april, so they all run payroll on the same day (easy one to change), this is where the complexity comes in.

Re: Is this an article about Broadcom?

The cloud bit doesn't agreed - it is just a front for the existing for AVD. The on-prem element which is still fairly huge is entirely liked to vSphere and all those cloud providers providing hosted desktop as a service via Horizon and ESXI could be left in the lurch. Other hypervisors would be great though

Re: One slide to rule them all

That isn't what it said..... He minimalised a slide deck and had a copy of their source code open, assuming in some sort of development tool.

Re: This is silly MS

Having done this migration around 18 months ago for around 5000 users, I'd say do it and don't look back, the "premium" features on the list are actually not very well used across any organization and the cost saving on Webex can be huge and the functionality of Teams is so much better, I don't mind Zoom for VC but Teams has the extra integration with Chat etc.

Also the Teams Meeting room devices - deployed around 150 of those in various formats from Yealink and they have been great.

Re: Surely they are finished as a company?

No its not - that is the msp product they bought being reverted back to its original name

Re: Unusual not the right word

Its unusual on their normal... They are basically saying we may have grow by 15m subscribers this quarter but don't expect that every quarter from now on.

Re: Cloudy destiny

No business rates on houses etc and can potentially reduce insurance costs as they house is left empty less. As long as you are not having customers/visitors to your house.

Re: Long term result ?

or not... some of the banks are stopping their supply chain using contractors too...

Re: History may not repeat, but it does rhyme

You talking just about vsphere it isn't their only product and not everybody loves the cloud... you can't sweat your assets is one example (Servers can have a rack life now nearing 7 years comfortably). You can't shift it (as easily) to large capex investments. Not all companies (particularly larger legacy ones) like ongoing opex costs being higher.

You also have the smaller SMB businesses (albeit they tend to use cheaper vmware products like Vsphere essentials etc). Cloud is expensive so them, yes they can easily push email to O365 etc but there is still lots of legacy LOB applications which run on servers in peoples offices. This is just not cost effective for them to move to the cloud.

They will however lose a section of the market but not all of it.

Email Richard Tang, having actually met the bloke. He would love to hear your feedback. Having used to work for a partner of theirs he hates to hear situations like this. https://ceoemail.com/s.php?id=ceo-10544&c=Zen%20Internet-Chief%20Executive

Re: SCADA systems running windows

About 3/4 years ago my boss went to a very high profile company that make helicopter parts, they still have a CNC machine running Windows 3.1.... it would be took expensive to replace. It was completely off the network.

Re: Azure vs AWS

But this is an example of just lifting and shifting applications to the cloud. Applications/platforms should be rebuilt/designed in a way that means components can fail, be spread geographically across multiple regions/AZ's. This is the problem with people complaining about the cloud not working, they are trying to use legacy methods in a new platform and it doesn't work. Services should be designed for failure in mind - check out Chaos Monkey developed by Netflix
