Comment So if I am an IT service provider ... (Score 1) 373

"(v) publish or provide any Software benchmark or comparison test results"

So if I am an IT services provider looking after systems for my Customers and need to patch this ... then the first thing they will ask is "what performance impact did your testing of the patch show?" ... which I can't now tell them as it would be providing them with comparison test results between a system before and after patching ...

Without providing this then they will not agree to the change being made ... which means the system will have to remain unpatched and vulnerable.

... and myPlex is completely optional to use. you don't need to have an account on it nor log an installed Plex server into it (I set up Plex for my Dad over the Christmas holidays and his system is not configured talk to myPlex at all).

Works fine for him (and for my own slightly more sophisticated setup) despite some of the rants against it in this thread ...

I would agree with this, having used various of the products mentioned, with the following comments ...

1. Be aware that TSM is quite expensive!
2. If you go with TSM get decent training for it. I have worked with several systems which have been setup incorrectly because the person(s) setting up the TSM system had not had sufficient training in order to configure things properly.
3. (Related to 2), make sure you know how to recover your TSM system in the event of a full DR, (not difficult if you know what you are doing but can beinteresting if you don't).
