RE: Anyone recommendations for Cloud server hosting?
Rack Space is very good about their hosting. MY big question is if you are using a Windows 2008 R2 server why not use SQL Standard Edition instead of Express?, also with 1GB ram SQL/Windows is going to get quite cramped for memory resources, and your application etc etc might not really run optimally? Also, what type of Data is going to be hosted on the server ( PCI? PII/PHI) has your management/security folks vetted the risk in compliance to the federal regulations for the data that will be contained within? Z Edward E.

RE: Anyone recommendations for Cloud server hosting?
Great questions. We are using the cloud server to host a low traffic webpage for a branch of our company. We started off with SQL express, as recommended by the web development firm. If needed, we will upgrade to SQL Standard.

RE: Anyone recommendations for Cloud server hosting?
I've used Rackspace and AWS. I'm pretty happy with AWS and their EC2 offerings these days. There's a lot you can do there, including having load balancing, moving your entire server to a larger instance when you need something beefier, and integrated backups to S2. Something about having an image of your running server you can spin up in seconds is comforting. There are occasional issues; I did some extensive domain-based implementations with them and found some oddities around time sync and Kerberos, but nothing I couldn't work around easily enough. Support is also a bit slow; that's one area where Rackspace really excels. I currently run AWS servers for several clients and we're pretty happy with it. I think overall the self-manageability is more flexible with AWS than Rackspace. I think they're cheaper, too... *** Charlie Kaiser charl...@golden-eagle.org Kingman, AZ *** -Original Message- From: Chris Blair [mailto:chris_bl...@identisys.com] Sent: Wednesday, March 30, 2011 6:13 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Anyone recommendations for Cloud server hosting?
