I knew a DBA who we had to teach how to save a word document while she worked with us on some stuff.. and she was also the Database & Programming (C++, VB.NET, Java) professor at a local college

Sounds like someone who failed upwards into that position of DBA

We got retweeted by Storage Switzerland too!!

Still looks good though, if it's a toss-up between shoot it or not, then use 4:2:2. - Very few actually go to the time and painstaking effort of properly grading their work anyway.

Any professional will use LUTs and do the edit then during the post process it gets send to a color house to do the final color work. Coloring is just like special effects they are done by facilities that specialize in that and only do that.

Yup, that is a nice little unit. I think that that is one generation old (and therefore one generation newer than mine) hence the good price. Should run the latest Raidiator OS (6.x).

Yes please.

I have three servers, though two would be fine. I don't have what I understand as a "reliable failover system" or anything close to it, but if one server is down I am in a position to provide a degraded or limited service using the other server(s) which is generally enough to keep users happy and the business ticking over. It's in no way automated or anything like high availability, but it gives me options and in a crisis I like to have as many options as I can. The cost isn't anywhere near double, since you're not doubling up on disks or memory or CPU by spreading the load across two boxes.

Very cool, thanks.

Now we just need to do a search and figure out where it is hiding!

Someone has to chew the gum around here.

Direct to Azure is pretty nice. Would like to see Rackspace support too.

I think if they offered their product with some kind of backup to a cloud target it would be a little better. But I agree it is worth a shot for backup targets, etc.

I found it interesting that they were not trying to be a Cloud Backup solution. hell they are not even trying to be a backup solution. They are simply making a use for unused space.

There is a plethora of choice when it comes to cloud data storage. I think this may be a smarter move to skip it. Maybe a partnership for a sync to offsite kinda thing would work for them.

I could see them partnering with Box or Dropbox as a beneficial partnership.

I think they would be better served with real cloud backup, not a sync solution.

Why do you say that?

What is your goal? I think we are struggling to picture the use case that you are picturing. If you have cloud storage, how are you using Aetherstore? And vice versa?

Why not Linux? Free and no need to run several versions behind.

Nice. Needed this today too for some planning discussions.

@JaredBusch if you go into the config file fixing the LAN IP is trivial. Easiest config file ever.

Great. I am looking forward to some serious feedback on it. It is a really exciting project.

SD and SSD really are the same thing. Just different cases, sizes or what have you. SD are perfectly reliable and usable for all kinds of general storage needs. There is a reason why so many systems today, from Raspberry Pi to Chomebooks use nothing except SD for their storage needs.
