We have a lack of high speed storage :(

these aren't ssd's or anything, but lack of storage is a perpetual problem in my job.

I ran into a backup cluster that I thought had been turned down months ago... 4 servers backing up onto 2 x 42-drive (2tb/each) arrays. :rolleyes:

so now I get to migrate those 4 servers onto a different backup server and reclaim its storage for the greater good :thumbsup:

We have access to "Unlimited" storage since we do some fancy work. The issue is that we get 20 - 25 MB/s write speeds :\

No where near fast enough for us.

5 minutes.
That's how long it took for "My Computer" to open after clicking on it. Yes.
Every time this affiliate brings in a computer I always assume it's fucked up because he's a moron. Also, it's probably stolen.

I think our clients think they have unlimited storage :p it's my job to magic it up from somewhere (because, until it gets to extreme amounts of data usage, none of the sales reps ever want to call their clients and demand that they either pay more or use less).

we did have a client a couple months ago who was using like 70tb and paying for 1, though... they got a nice call from my boss to ask them wtf was going on.

That's crazy. Our "overhead" on storage is about 5 - 10tb depending on what's going on.

reporting seems like the biggest problem with our backups.

I can easily generate a list to tell me which clients are using how much space, but with our existing systems, there's no way to automatically generate a notice when a client reaches a certain threshold (since it's a shared environment where multiple clients are writing to the same storage pools)

I think this idiot has every possible malware-virus-trojan masquerading as false anti-software installed on this damn thing.
He wanted it done today. This mess will take days to completely fix. I'd just reformat the fuckin' thing.

Mind if I ask what they are storing?

Quite fucking up my "for-fun thread of the day"! ;)

sorry! :p

I run backups for a web hosting company... our big offenders tend to be SQL clusters and Exchange servers.

Ah. Our storage is mostly video. Thus the large turn over.
Before we started to change how they did things they were using 8x 1tb external HDD :colbert:
