3com really fucked their customers. It’s a case study in how get eaten up and obliterated by competition

Their NIC was awesome. Their network gear was decent. They didn’t innovate and they died a quick death. Real fast. 2-3 years fast.

I know your world. Palo is eating everybody else’s lunch. And hnnnnggg that stock.

Umm…networking isn’t about windows or hosts. It’s about delivering packets.

I give zero fucks about the host operating system.

And god damn server pukes have zero clue how to set up a bond or nic teaming interface. Server pukes are imho the most stupid people there are. You need to run LACP to create a bond on your 500k server, I’m presenting you 4 25 gig connections. Bond them together in your OS as a single nic with LACP, and don’t do fast start”

“What is lacp and what is nic teaming/bond”

Fucking server pukes.

Before MS sold "servers" the server guys actually had to know what they were doing.

I get it from Unix, Windows, mainframe, whatever host and OS. They’re fucking stupid.

That comes from going to class to get a cert and no real experience, because nobody pays for the real skilled people when Gupta is to be had for next to nothing, which is what he is worth.

Couln't get by with that with Novell and IPX/SPX as the routing protocol.

Damn. You old. Me too.

Good server/host guys are hard to find. Just like good network guys.

I see the problem, you don't have 3C509.EXE loaded

It's rare to run across a really good network / server guy, usually they eventually get Peter Principled into a role for which they are often woefully unsuited. Occasionally you'll find one in an architect position who can still get his hands dirty.
