      Look at that GREAT advice! Lenovo AND SSD for OS! What decade are we living in?

      Just people selling equipment because they are partnered with a supplier.

      Nothing new, what is scary though is that the OP hasn't even begun to do his research. Has a meager 40GB of data, and believes he needs to move it to a server, and asking for recommendations..

      On a budget that won't even fit the Server Standard license + CALS they'd need as well.

        Wow, that guy is hamstrung by the low budget.

        Sounds like a company that just wants to play at business, as Scott would say.

          A hobby. Indeed it would be.

            So Scott, whT do you think they should do?

            From an app perspective, it seems like running the app on a desktop assuming they can't move it to Linux.

                Not enough info to know what to do. We don't know if they can replace the expensive requirements with something sensible or not.

                Running on a desktop isn't viable, you aren't licensed to use a desktop as a server. Chances are the fix is to replace the manager making non-viable financial decisions.

                  It got featured in something today that I actually looked at, and then regretted looking at it. Almost posted to it, but looked at the date before I started typing, thankfully.

                    The feature thing gets very confusing.

                      So I'm beyond trying to help with this topic, provided two links. One to Xen Orchestra's site, and the other to the post here on ML with the direct installation instructions for XO Source. And am replied with "Because it cost too much".

                      So I can't even...

                              Just because a solution is shown on the XS webpage doesn't make other solutions non-viable?

                              Remember when the VMware fanboi's used to say "all other hypervisors weren't worth a damn", had we listened, no one would be using XS.

                                I don't disagree that other solutions may be viable, but the solutions he was looking at doesn't meet his needs. So why consider them?

                                Also he doesn't have a solid understanding of what he's doing, and just throwing out random items that he wants, when in fact, all he wants is a free to use, centrally managed XS backup tool.

                                  True but he needs to start by looking at the key solutions and not start with reinventing the wheel.

                                    Ok so another post from JeffCAdmin there a few days ago, where scott has the BA, pointing out why XS and XO is the best solution for his project, and then the post I pointed out here yesterday where he's questioning XO as a viable enough solution.

                                    Pick a side of the coin, and stay there man...

                                      NodeBB instance down. No idea how to even start a service.

                                      But losing thousands of users.

                                          Why is HPE asking this type of question?

                                          I suppose I understand to keep active and posting, but I can't even begin to understand the reasoning beyond that.

                                          Why did you virtualize? Um because I'd be retarded to not virtualize. . . .
