What we usually do is using an SMTP relay.
Plus points on having a spam protection service included and in front of the mail server.
Appoxo
As an employee of an MSP it's sometimes really annoying how some smaller one-man-army + employee MSPs do "crafty" setups on site and meaningless firewall rules to work against.
and email can be hosted sooo cheap these times. My ionos contract just to have my own domain costs me maybe 10€ per month.
- 2 servers for reundancy, preferably 3rd one laying around for a quick swap
Overkill for a small startup. We sell to medical practices and they get (at most) a small tower server from HPE (ML30). Backup servers can either be a small 2 bay NAS or a microserver depending on the needs
Pretty decent UPS setup, again multiple units for reundancy
If they can afford that. Most are already good by just using a decent online UPS.
Routers, network hardware, internet uplinks and everything at least duplicated and configured correctly to keep things running
Not a multi million company.
Routers: BS.
Network: Maybe 2x 16 port switches but too much overhead. 1x 48 Port if you really need that.
Internet uplinks: If you have a satellite office and need the S2S-VPN to be constantly up.
Btw: You didnt mention a duplicated phone line ;P
- A separate backup solution, on at least two different physical locations, so a few more servers and their network, power and other stuff taken care of
Again overkill.
Backup on the server with something to a 2-Bay NAS and a secondary job with rotating external USB disks to take or somewhere external with you.
Monitoring, alerting system in case of failures, someone being on-call for 24/7
Monitoring: Yep
Alerting: Done by monitoring in the best circumstance
On-call 24/7: As this is a small company: LOL
Not fear but you need to have the respect it deserves.
If you treat leather with respect and care it can hold a lifetime. My leather jacket easily nears the 10 year mark too with thr only damage being near the sleeves.
It also helps me with German, since it’s good at finding patterns and how German people typically say
Depending on your first language I can offer you my assistance as a native german :)
If you want to, pm me or send a message to my email: [email protected]
For me anything important is done in the browser (very rarely) and mostly on the phone.
Or bring server browsers back and let server mods handle it.
How will you handle competitive matchmaking? I agree for casual matchmaking though
A more modern idea. Put all the chesters into the same lobbies through matchmaking
Maybe moderm in relative termy but notnreally. One of the articles I could find on the quick is from 4 years ago: https://www.ign.com/articles/cod-warzone-cheaters-are-being-matched-up-together-as-punishment
Now that is something I can't talk much about because I only played the prequel and not gonna pay R* the current asking price for an old game.
But good to know.
