Running out of IPs is short sighted nonsense, but I feel for storage restraints. I have had the "we buy storage, or we stop boarding customers" conversation more times than I care to think about.

They should just set you a reasonable limit per mailbox and when you go over you get a nag message saying "Hey, you don't get to use your e-mail till you delete poo poo moron". This would never happen here. Not unless the limit is 20 gigs or something. But okay, if that's their solution, I can understand. Their only solution is enforcing an "empty the deleted items folder at logoff", which is obviously fine and I'm sure something some of you would love to implement as well. I do wonder if they'll get the "but that's where I save everything" tickets, though. But, storage. Storage is so cheap these days, I don't see how bad it could be. Admittedly I'm not in IT so I'm willing to accept that I'm wrong, but even with raid 5+1 or something, it's the $/gigabyte is still pretty drat low. IT also asked managers to delete PDFs to help with storage. I don't know how many thousands of PDFs they want us to delete to save that couple gigabytes of extra space they're looking for. totalnewbie fucked around with this message at 20:49 on Nov 13, 2014 |

Do you really need 20gb of email storage? Good lord. After working here 4.5 years, I've got about 65mb of email accumulated. It would be a stretch to even get to 1gb.

Amazon. We do a lot of ecommerce and manage our own, and client feeds. This means we are updating several hundred thousand products a day via XML. Turns out one of our suppliers was doing an optimistic round-up on the gram weight of products when converting from DWT/Grains/Troy/CTW to grams. Normally this isn't a big deal, but when it's gold/platinum/diamonds you tend to want to be accurate for that kind of thing. So, we change the weights in the database, the hundreds of thousands of products are propagated out to Amazon/Nextag/TheFind/Shopping/Google/Sears/Walmart/etc. Except on Amazon the weights don't change for some reason. I have had a ticket open for >over month< asking why these weights won't update. They say : "Hello - Your weight attribute is protected in the jewelry category, please submit a manual list of SKUs and their new weight" (Jewelry is so weird and cultish on Amazon it might as well not be Amazon any more based on the rules/requirements) gently caress that I say, there's over 100,000 of them. They say okay, give us the FeedID of the upload that is changing weights. So I write them with the FeedIDs saying 'okay these are the ones that are changing the weights'. The response, after over a month, and 12 obvious back and forth emails on the case showing what had happened? "Hello - Your weight attribute is protected in the jewelry category, please submit a manual list of SKUs and their new weight" DID YOU EVEN LOOK AT THE loving CASE HISTORY YOU INCREDIBLE BUMWAD

Storage may appear cheap if you look in the catalogues and see a special on 1TB USB drives. But properly managed, backed-up enterprise storage for servers costs more. It is cheaper than it used to be and may very well be cheaper than the lost productivity in juggling space when it is tight. But trying to get capital expenditure approved in some places can be a real battle. Especially if you are trying to get it past an accountant whose bonus depends on keeping cap-ex below a certain threshold.

The 'best' part; if Amazon does a test buy (and they will; this is how we found out about it in the first place) and the product comes in underweight they will straight up expunge us from the marketplace. For something they won't let us fix.

I've moved to a new mail server about two weeks ago. All my old mail is in several PSTs (broken down by year) I decided to start fresh and use Inbox Zero (I really like it). I have a "Look at soon", "Do NOW OR DIE!" and "Archive". I keep all my sent mail and trash is emptied at the end of the day. All mail answered or otherwise dealt with goes into the Archive with a variety of Classification tags applied. I have over 1200 emails in my archive for the last two weeks. It's mostly project work, and I have a lot of in flight projects I'm involved in, but that's how it is when you have a project meeting once a week for each project at different times and days and everything else is conducted via email or IM.

We have one user (in Sales of course) with about 20GB of email as well. And roughly 100GB of files that she keeps on her laptop instead of the network drive (good job really - the entire company's shared files only add up to 140 so we'd have to nearly double the allocation just to accommodate her hoarding) because she goes home and continues working, never actually spends a second NOT working except to sleep, and "NEEDS" instant access to - no exaggeration - every file, every bit of correspondence (newsletters included), everything in her 15-20 years or so of history. And no, she doesn't have backups. And yes, we've very strongly suggested it. "I don't have time! I'm SO busy" To be fair, now might be a good time to look at some kind of butt storage. Still need to fit a bigger SSD or hybrid though, as I'm certain that "what if I'm somewhere without wifi?? How will I get instant access to what I told that customer in 1994?" would come into it. ==== Meanwhile, some people came to demonstrate a telephone system. Unlike all the other candidates, they neglected to actually bring a demo system (despite giving us the impression they would, and wasting the time of some angry managers who took time out of their day to attend), and thought that a bit of Powerpoint would suffice 10/10 would totally do business with GargleBlaster fucked around with this message at 01:56 on Nov 14, 2014 |

I end up with around 10GB of email per year, which I happily archive into PSTs. This has been helpful, as on occasion I'll have a client who wants to re-invent history. The large size isn't helped by the fact that, while my employer does many things very well, they have a culture of emailing documents around rather than using SharePoint or ShareFile or eRooms, all of which are available to us.

I have unlimited storage for email. Unlimited. I think that if I started getting up into the terabytes range, my manager might give me the stinkeye by proxy, but then again I don't think anyone would even notice a terabyte around here.
