Flashed you in the bus (I think it was you!) as you were heading down the road towards the retail park. Was feeling ropey so probably didn't look to cheerful!
All of the above 3 points really.
My reaction to how this has gone is to suggest outsourcing the design, specification and implementation... Which we do, if you're interested?!
I just think there's a lot of areas which aren't being thought about and a definite lack of knowledge. I appreciate...
So if your router is going into the switches, why the f**k are your 'powers that be' dictating how you should incorporate security into it? First things first you need more than this:
As your 'router/firewall'.
You want this:
Or if high availability is a concern, two of them. From...
There's nothing stopping you 'grouping' but using a Class B. The plan you've outlined above makes your technical penis huge, but you've got a massive single point of failure. Why you'd have a router plugged into those switches also is beyond me...
Try to spend less time and money on the...
Macs run more efficiently? At what? Mac OS X is a 'cleaner' OS than Windows, but the current generation hardware is near identical to a couple of other 'Windows' laptops bar the whizzbangs.
I had a MPB for a year or so - they're nice enough but inappropriate for my work and at home I just use the one I get free. I'd sooner spend the money on AV kit and cars.
Problem is I work in IT, so I get a lot of kit for free and spending money on something 'pretty' to do the same job as...
I'd just have a flat subnet - you're asking for an impossibly difficult to manage infrastructure here! Rule number one of networks is if it needs to do nothing intelligent, don't make it complicated. You've not got guests (and TBH, that lot could do it anyway!), you've not told us that each...
You've obviously missed the point where I said:
I completely agree that that sort of performance needs a desktop, but it's not always feasible for said person (they tend to be 'important' enough to shout until they get what they want) to have a desktop. Also have to bear in mind that battery...
Security and performance on a 400 user network? Which consists of staff I assume, in it's entirety?
Just whack a couple of Cisco 4500-E chassis' in with both supervisors, a set of sufficient 48-port 10/100 line cards, a pair of 10/100/1000 line cards for your servers and a pair of X2 line...
But you've just agreed with me? IF you need to surf ClioSport, listen to music and put pictures on it then yeah - MBP is fine if you can afford the money! If you're dealing with databases and need two more processing cores, the MBP can't do that...
I laughed at it. There's elements of truth in there! But I have to say the majority of Apple's releases do make a little bit more of an improvement than storage size...
Two chassis, 2x 10Gb fibre between the two. That little lot shouldn't need a million subnets - just use a Class B and have done. Don't need routing between them, you're only looking at a few hundred users - not a few thousand! LOL!
It depends entirely what you use it for!
MBPs don't ship with quads, GPU is average-good, memory performance is good-very good. That's not sufficient for some people's uses of laptops - whether they should be on desktops not laptops is a different argument, but their use of a laptop if they...
The point the OP raised was that the spec of his Dell is technically better than that of the MBP. As such I suggested that if he uses the performance on a regular basis, then he'd regret either not getting the faster one or having bought one in the first place...
Not really - this one's if...
What?
There's very little detail there and nothing telling me that you shouldn't just run a big chassis with a load of cards in it! Nothing clever - there's not enough people there on that list and no need for any segregation that you've given!
If you can't go to the one that matches your current spec (assuming you use it), you'll regret doing it. It's a fantastic piece of engineering but if you use any of that power that the MBP won't provide then you've paid a premium for someone to buy it off you in a month or so when you realise...
Waterman is good for that - bike gatherings on a Wednesday doesn't seem to upset them!
I'm about for this for a month or so yet... Just give me a date and if I can make it I'll be there!
It's all about the directions the parts are designed to tolerate stress - much like the whole Katie Price sitting on an F1 car and breaking it, yet it survives hundred-mile-an-hour impacts.
Exactly!
The reason 182s and 172s are worth f**k all is only partially down to Renault. A chunk of it is down to what people sell them for, and how little this place values their cars.
But you forget, everybody on ClioSport knows best. Or maybe they're just pissed that their 2litres have dropped 60% of their value vs the Vee which has dropped 45%?
