![]() The previous engineer did not configure spanning tree properly. “The biggest ‘glitch’ we had this year was spanning-tree misconfiguration. A quick modification of the firewall resolved the issue.” This impacted our Azure databases and slowed down the network. The employees that were at work spent most of the morning surfing the web shopping. “The biggest issue we have experienced to-date was Cyber Monday. To solve these glitches, give the gift of: AppOptics Dev Edition, NAT Lookup User: df112, Director of Database and Systems Engineering Spent way too much time, effort and frustration on it this year.” At the moment (knock on wood) it's fine but since we never did isolate the actual issue, we're not completely sure we've got it fixed. At any rate, it's been glitchy enough to be annoying without actually failing completely. I suppose it's really hybrid because there is an on-prem piece. “For us, it was a cloud integration service we use to stuff data into our CRM from various data feeds. All that slowness is an unadvertised / unexpected result of gaining all the ‘benefits’ of the cloud.” Two years later it's still an issue, and we're looking to see if changing firewall platforms (brands and models) will improve performance to something closer to what we had pre-cloud. Think running out of NAT/PAT pools on firewalls during the data transfers, running out of physical firewall resources, huge slowness in Outlook and Word performance compared to when we hosted it internally, etc. Due in great part to proofs of concept demonstrated with small numbers and sizes of files, scaling to an Enterprise sized solution was somewhat of a failure. “Moving the files and e-mail for 17,000 employees from internal DC's to the cloud proved to be a less-than-comfortable experience. Here’s a look into the glitches that almost turned some tech pros into a grinch this past year, and the gift of free tools that can help monitor and solve for future mishaps, brought to you by the SolarWinds community.ġ) Hiccups in Cloud Migrations and Integrations ![]() SolarWinds asked its THWACK community of over 150,000 technology professionals to share about the times this year when their hybrid or cloud applications and systems acted more naughty than nice. In a similar spirit, for the solutions tech professionals develop and use-sometimes they don’t perform as perfectly as intended. While we certainly aspire to achieve our New Year’s resolutions, sometimes it doesn’t always go our way. As we ease out of the holiday season and into a new year (and a new decade!), January provides us with an opportune moment in time for reflection on the past and goal setting for the future.
