So weird. Hope you get some help on figuring this out.

I assume that there is no means of using DA with Macs, for example?

Not at present. You can, however, use the same RAS servers for VPN. Perhaps if/when Macs gain more traction in the mainstream business market, we'll see that shift.

And at their prices there is little reason not to test them out. Very low financial risk.

....most of my docs are going to ignore this anyway honestly....

Just, "No". (...for now.)

We have an audit & compliance office. They make it crystal clear HIPAA is the M.D.s personal responsibility as it is. Several have been sacked, fines go to the MDs. Yes, facility will inevitably take a hit, but OCR negotiation on this point has been viable.

Appeal on "you aren't the bad guy", and "it is just another regulation the M.D.s need to follow." Do have CYA documentation. HIPAA action could impact you personally.

/soapbox

You bet!

Rackspace offers pure SSD hosting too.

It might be worth turning it on its head, by that I mean pointing out that unless you can prove your documentation is the irrefutable source of all knowledge its never going to be referred to in that way. We already have a source of (nearly) all knowledge its called google-fu

If logic prevails then this is a good approach.

Egnyte has a relationship with Netgear ReadyNAS. Very handy option.

Awesome! I hope you get more partners to help spread the Webroot goodness!

Is that like a web of grassroots?

Finally i installed my Linux mint to my Virtual Box. 🙂

And it is working? The Atom must have virtualization that I was not aware of.

yes but its too slow 😞

I would not recommend Used or Refurb gear to my company. I just don't see the value in it. Hardware is so cheap these days.

Most Small to Medium businesses only need a few Servers to host their virtual environment of 50-100 servers.

Thanks to all who responded here. We're going to roll with PSX's idea.

I will also tell you I posted this somewhere else and did not receive as many responses as I did here.

What other device you going to use? If you buy the right thing you can shitcan the entire ASA

I already had a Cisco RV180 lying around and used it for the camera traffic. The only thing I do not have setup right now is static routes.

Hold on a minute. So if you were to get a plastic 3d printer and a metal 3d printer, in theory you could print most of the mechanical replacement parts you'd ever need for the two machines.

Correct. If you owned a custom plastic fab and a custom metal fab you could make most anything.

I tried moving us to a TS environment about 4 years ago - I couldn't get past the thin clients 'flashing' on websites that used Adobe Flash. When moving between screens on our EMR of the time the whole window would flash white before going to the next screen. I posted about it on SW... someone posted a reason why (can't recall now). Never had the problem when using a Windows machine as a terminal into the TS.

In the end it worked out since our current EMR strictly forbids TS.

I'm fairly certain I'm on the list too, especially considering that I'm an arms owner as well.

No arms here but nearly a decade in international finance.... I'm at the top of the list.

I've found that iOS calendar functions work better with push enabled, so I just turned of all notifications, sound, and such for email. Every couple of hours or so, I'll process my inbox, as well as make sure that I'm at zero before bed and when I wake up. During the workday, I process my inbox about every 40 minutes or so, but constantly work out of my "next" folder. The reason for this is that I found out that constantly trying to keep up with my email was preventing me from really getting into projects and tasks effectively. This way, I can still keep on top of email and address actionables, yet I can still perform non-email tasks effectively.

Setting Postfix up as a smarthost's pretty straightforward. I've done it in reverse as an inbound mail gateway instead of using an MS Exchange Edge Transport role. I'm guessing you'd be allowing access based on IP?

While you want to keep it simple, I can't stress strongly enough to use at least outbound spam filtering. That way, in case you do somehow start churning out spam, it'll get caught before your IP gets blacklisted.

Office 2013 is slower. It just is. You have moved from a Windows native app to a web app. They don't tell you this anywhere but look closely. Office 2013 is actually running in a frameless browser.

Are you sure on that? I just took a stroll through my office directory and found all the appropriate DLL files and such that would go along with a regular program. Outlook still has all the native quirks, features, and errors that wouldn't be part of a web app.

The interface is running in the browser. It still has some hooks because lots of stuff needs the DLLs. But the part that you see is all in a frameless browser. Lots of applications run this way, it is a lot of Microsoft's vision for the future and makes sense for portability and hostability.

Speaking of Linux Server.. correct me if i am wrong can i use Linux as my server then my client computers are Windows?

Yes. But it depends what you are serving. "Server" and "client" only mean "provides a service" and "consumes a service" so the terms are pretty loose. But to prove what you ask is true, you are currently reading this website on Windows (the client.) The site itself is running on Linux (the server.) So this interaction that we are having right now is both of us using Windows as the client and Linux as the service.

Likewise you can use Office 365 on a Linux machine. So Windows is the server and Linux is the client in that case.
