  • I can relly recommend proxmox. Some years ago we switched from a 60.000€ dell VMWare Storage/Server-Setup to a three Host proxmox Setup for about half the price (to be fair, add 5-10k for Setup for our local Linux Team because we did not know much about proxmox). Mainly because we were able to place one of the Hosts in our Warehouse (connected with 10g Fiber) so there theoretically will be no harm to our production in case of water/fire/whatever in the server room because the one system can instantly take over (after some learning it works Like a Charm). I had some concerns regarding ceph, but for us it has proven Rocksolid, even while we had some real weird Switch issues it always recovered fast and without issues as soon as the connection was there. A big issue were the licensing terms for Microsoft products because with three amd-systems you have a lot of cores to buy licenses for - so we had a good excuse to substitute and cut out some products that only supported Windows environments.












  • Geschichtenzeit: Ein befreundeter KFZler hat mir mal erzählt dass sie bei einer Serviceaktion mal viel Zeit gespart hatten weil ein Geselle festgestellt hat dass die Manschetten viel schneller drüber gehen wenn man sie mit WD40 einlässt - bis der das dann am Telefon einem Techniker vom Hersteller erzählte und der dann meinte: “Ja, würde viel Zeit sparen, aber dann würde das öl ja die maschetten auflösen”. War dann wohl auch so. Den Kunden hat man wohl später gesagt dass man auch nicht weiss warum die schon kaputt sind…
