Does anyone have experience with the Equallogic NAS, preferably the 76xx family? I have found documents published by Dell, but I am looking for real world feedback. My NAS experience is limited to Netapp, and they were really nice. After setup, it required very little attention. I did a couple of

We reviewed ShareFile and DatAnywhere. We were already a Varonis customer and like their products, so we ended up with DatAnywhere. It works well and does not require additional storage, the file(s) are shared directly from your file server. Robert On Tue, May 6, 2014 at 5:22 PM, Rankin, James

We used to patch our servers manually. We bought BatchPatch (batchpatch.com) and it has been, by far, the best purchase I've made in my 24+ years in IT. It's not expensive and it's amazing what it can do for you. Robert On Wed, Oct 26, 2016 at 1:05 PM, Michael Leone wrote:

Will highly recommend BatchPatch. We use it to manage patching of our servers. For DC's, we will download, install, and reboot one DC at a timeconfirming that each is up before starting on the next. We found it affordable and it saves us a ton of time to get patches installed. On Wed, Jul

Can't say for VNX, but I know when I was trying this for a NetApp a decade ago that NetApp used proprietary firmware that prevented you from using a hard drive that met all the other specifications. I'd be kind of surprised if the VNX didn't require a special firmware. Robert On Tue, Feb 6,
