Wasn’t that Chris rock in his bit about O.J.?

I destroyed 2 toaster ovens with pop tarts when I was 5. I would turn on the toaster and forget about it watching cartoons. I can confirm they burn very well.

This happened twice? In the span of a year?!

Did your house not burn down?

No, the countertops were made from asbestos

Lol

No, it didn’t burn down. A cabinet had to be replaced. I was left to my own vices a lot. I ended up learning a lot of proper firefighting protocols at a young age.

Oh it could be much worse. You should see how bad government run HIE’s are.

To back you up. They are profoundly worse. It’s an area where private dominates entirely, as the government HIEs are almost unusable.

Again, I don't see how a private industry per se could even possibly be worse given the demand for a profit margin. Your beef is with some other aspect of this process.

the same higher-level forces shape the public project's fate into certain doom that led to hospitals buying the absolutely shittiest tech.

because there's no clear signal (in the private sector there's some drive for sales, market share, profit), only made-up hyperpoliticized bullshit requirements and maybe some barely coherent vision.

as long as there's not a clear technocratic organization with sufficient independence and competence these projects are rudderless yellow duckies on the sea of tragisocial medicine mismanagement madness.

no party involved really has enough resources to deliver something nice. it's like high speed rail in the UK or the US. as a public project it's already stillborn, because it's too expensive to do it right (or if it would get the right amount of funding it immediately attracts unlimited scope creep, and the usual vultures show up, it becomes a typical everything bagel project, solve EMR but also education and childcare and whatnot), and to do it efficiently it would require draconian standardization and heroic amount of data migration work.

and on top it gets over promised and under staffed and so on

HPE is after Nutanix. I dread the day HP buys Nutanix

I’m at a loss with VMware. We’ve been full vdi since 2011 and can’t afford cloud solutions. Citrix is overkill. Love Nutanix, but can’t use AHV due to VMware horizon. We’ve had zero or thin clients for all workstations. It’s been so easy, until now.

The company we purchased from is pretty sure VMware is cutting them off. We used to deal with CDW, but cdw’s service went to crap

Check out Parallels RAS, we hear the same story from many new clients. Disclaimer: I work for them.

Hate to be that guy but you were probably warned about going full VDI. Those people were right to warn you.

Was never warned, when we went full vdi people were very into it. It was a huge bonus to us as a small IT dept being able to maintain and manage a large infrastructure. I think vdi is essentially dead until the swing back to on prem solutions.
