Jeff Hengesbach replied to Mike Rigsby's discussion 'Encrypted Alternative to FTP ideas'
I've had https://www.egnyte.com on my list to try out for some time for similar such use but have not yet. If you try it out I'm sure we'd all love to hear your review.
Jeff Hengesbach replied to Danny Nolan's discussion 'Small scale Network...BOTTLED CHAOS'
Danny,
Do you currently have any form of central authentication? You also mention a handful of existing servers. Is your environment Windows, Linux or otherwise centric? If you are windows centric going with AD will provide you…
Jeff Hengesbach replied to Stefan Pynappels's discussion 'iSCSI SAN Questions'
Stefan,
The short answer about the 8 port switches is - sure. iSCSI can go over any network gear. In a lab situation the quality of the switching gear may not be an issue -if the similarity of your lab doesn't have to match…
Jeff Hengesbach replied to Graycat's discussion 'Favourite bit of tech'
Home
Android based Droid X phone. Saw a tweet the other day: "Andoid is for geeks and iPhones are for cool people". Guess I'm a geek. I've seen / used both and the Android based devices have a ton of flexibility (due to software)…
Jeff Hengesbach replied to Matt Brock's discussion 'Ethernet router/switch needed'
I've had good luck with the SSG 5's - rock solid in my history with them. I've also used SSG 140's with good luck due to needing gigabit FW/routing between segments.
Jeff Hengesbach replied to Elizabeth Ayer's discussion 'Exchange 2010 -- voice your opinions'
I'm really looking forward to 2010. There are a lot of great positives (coming from 2K3): major IO improvements, OWA and user self service tools(message tracking, etc), Exchange Management shell (powershell). Value is greatly improved because:…
Jeff Hengesbach commented on Dan Taylor's blog post 'Building our virtual environment'
Hi Dan,
Yeah the key one thing about trust (in anything really) is how quickly it is lost and long it can take to be regained.
Virtual environments present a lot of benefits but they also are more susceptible than physical environments to probably…
Jeff Hengesbach replied to Richard Holloway's discussion 'Becoming Systems Administrator instantly'
I put this up a few months back: http://jeffhengesbach.blogspot.com/2009/12/how-i-became-sysadmin.html . It lacks some of my 'early' years. I started off with a Commodore 64c at home, learned Basic on Apple II in Junior High School. I…
Jeff Hengesbach commented on Tsahy Shapsa's blog post 'Protecting Company Data From Rogue Insiders'
I think Wesley has excellent points. I'd go on to add:
1) Many of the 'exposures' are pre existing from before "Breaches" were popular, well publicized, and good prevention processes in practice. The volumes of data and the…

Jeff Hengesbach commented on Isaac's blog post 'Dear vendors: Post your prices or go DIAF'
Great post Isaac, couldn't agree more. Technology is much too much of commodity these days, why hide pricing. I generally interpret the tactic as the fist number I'm shown is at least 2x what I should end up paying - thanks for the free…
Jeff Hengesbach replied to Paul Stoklosa's discussion 'Enterprise Antivirus packages - What's the best?'
That's amazing. I'd guess most are not confident enough to attempt such a setup. Do you have issues with things running from within the users' profile folders and not necessarily "installing" on the systems?
We switched…
Jeff Hengesbach replied to Greg's discussion 'Backup solutions other than tape'
Greg - I'm in the same target area of space and will be switching to external hard drives in 2010. I looked at it from a alot of angles. Cloud / online is too bandwidth hungry and costly for my volumes and retentions. I don't use enough…
Jeff Hengesbach replied to John McGrath's discussion 'Firewall software/Hardware on the Cheap?'
At the most basic level, pick up any device supported by DD-WRT from a local store ($50-$100) - or ebay for even less. I've also worked with some of the smaller Sonicwall devices - and they are OK, but the nicer features are definitely held…
Jeff Hengesbach replied to Michael Francis's discussion 'Walk away with a Slingbox!!!! Read on...'
VOTE - Gotta love virtualization
Jeff Hengesbach commented on Isaac's blog post 'Dealing with database sprawl'
You are definitely not alone and I'd guess it doesn't matter the size of the organization. The thing about sprawl of really anything is a result of not looking at the long term big picture. In big companies you have isolated groups doing…
