 7 years ago we had a local physician pass away. He had written his own
 EMR(Electronic health record) system. It sat on a humongous HP Proliant
 server and it is a 2003 domain controller as well. Long story short, we
 acquired his patients and some to this day will still come by and want
 their old charts printed for them.

 Converted to VM and remains today in my ESX farm. I back it up once a
 month for safety because I would never be able to duplicate all the screwy
 things on it.

 Besides, it is a nice memorial to a great Doc who passed away too soon.



 Convert to VM!

 They dont want this monster (proliant) sitting in their office , and they
 do not have nor want any servers in house, is there a way to turn this into
 a VM that can be run on a pc / laptop?

 Or  do some type of image backup and restore to a regular pc or laptop?

 Since they are only referencing historical data (they changed systems )
 there is no need for redundancy back ups etc...

Re: [NTSysADM] Bye Citrix

2013-11-15 Thread Andrew S. Baker
As Ken points out, consolidation does increase the value of the target, but
it does not necessarily increase the risk of success.

Pay very close attention to the recent hacking reports put out by Verizon
and others.  The number of attacks -- successful attacks -- against small
business is rising dramatically, and in some cases, they don't even know it.

With automated scanning and sophisticated attacks, there is little
difference for an attacker between cloud and on-premise connected to the
Internet...

  A couple of thoughts:

 A 10 man team will be replaced with a 1 man team. And that 1 person will
 probably be 18 making $15/hour.

 Isn’t that what has been happening for 30+ years? We used to have lots of
 people assembling PCs, help desk staff going out to add peripherals, or
 swap a NIC or whatever. None of that happens anymore.



 You used to have one engineer to manage just a dozen servers, or a
 directory with a few hundred objects. Now engineers can manage far more.



 Yet, at the same time, continued increases in computing power, storage and
 network bandwidth (at falling unit cost) have enabled business, government
 and other organisations to continue to find new and innovative ways to
 harness that underlying infrastructure to produce new products, new
 services, new ways of doing research and so on.



 All you are seeing is the continued disappearance of the low value work at
 the bottom of the food chain. IT, like **every other facet of business**
 will see vendors look to commoditise low value, repeatable, well understood
 problem domains.



 But that doesn’t mean IT will disappear, or that the jobs will. They’ll
 migrate to other areas, as people and organisations find new ways to use
 their IT to do things that actually make money. Basic infrastructure
 services are commoditised. Basic utility services are commoditised. Basic
 programming is commoditised. Yet every other day you see new hardware on
 the market, new software on the market, new business models on the market
 and so on. Someone’s got to come up with all of this, and someone’s got to
 make it happen.



 As for my personal experience, the bank I work on has more servers, and
 more reliance on IT than ever before. That doesn’t mean we want to keep a
 fleet of desktop support people hovering around the place. We need more
 people who can architect the next great thing in wealth management or
 institutional banking, so that we can make money. And people to ensure that
 it goes in in a supportable, maintainable way.



 I can picture this on CNN 15,000 companies got hacked today when Amazon's
 cloud service got compromised. An estimated 250,000,000 US citizens
 effected.'



 And this isn’t happening today? Amazon might provide a single
 point-of-failure. But they’re probably harder to crack than lots of smaller
 orgs today. And think about the threat landscape in 5 or 10 years from now
 – it’s going to be even more brutal, and many “do it yourself” shops – even
 medium and large size organisations are unprepared today, let alone for
 what’s coming down the track. Stories like this abound:
 http://www.thesecurityblogger.com/?p=1903

 Most large orgs I’ve worked at are operationally immature – documentation
 and processes, approvals etc. don’t exist. The technical staff there think
 they’re pretty good, because they can get things done “quicker and faster”
 than an outsourcer can. But typically this is at the expense of proper
 governance, auditability and accountability. It’s a landscape ripe for
 exploit. Typically MSPs at least claim to institute more operationally
 mature processes.



 Cheers

 Ken
