That's a great question. A question I will present once I go in for the interview. Any other questions on this matter should I ask to avoid the rolling eye scenario? lol! I would like to be armed and ready to ask the appropriate questions to be able to lock down the direct steps needed to get the job done on time, with in budget and with less down time.
Well given that you will be interviewing in this case, I'll propose some ideas based on some assumptions that could be way off base.
They probably want to go to a completely "hosted" model. The most common approach here, still today, is colocation and VPN. NTG does this. We colocate enterprise servers (one of our datacenters is in Mississauga near you) that we then run VMware vSphere on and virtualize all of our servers. We then add an enterprise VPN (we used to use IPSec, then OpenVPN and finally settled on Pertino) that connects every user into the "hosted network."
With this model, we use traditional computing like Active Directory, SMB drive shares, RDP and any other LAN protocol and it all works right over the Pertino VPN network. We are able to manage our network like a traditional LAN while not being in a single office and having no on premises servers.
Are you saying that NTG provides or use this service? If it provide this IT service, why would I suggest yall? That's taking food off my table. lol! However, it it uses this service then your scenario would be a great foundation to learn from. I have to see how many employees there are. To gage how big their system may be. It's my understanding that they even have a sister company in Toronto. It's an Wine company. Holidays should be nice around there...cheers! lol!

@MattSpeller said:
the killer for us was network speed. Cost of getting a "real" internet connection (100/100 fiber) vs continuing to bandaid our infrastructure was too high. Not the way I would like to have gone, but $0.02 for you.
That's a valuable point Matt. Even with vmware. The though of having less hardware is awesome until you have to give up some speed. I need to know if they intend to have 3rd party cloud or a cloud onsite. I would think a cloud onsite would be better. I don't trust 3rd party clouds too strong.

I may start working for a company that is interested in migrating their whole network to the clouds. If so, I would like to be proactive in being ready for such a task. Do any of you have any ideas? What are the good, the bad and the ugly for this move?

Just wastes space. Just delete everything from /tmp. Many systems, like Solaris, mount /tmp into memory so that it is automatically flushed after every reboot. Many other systems use a cron job to blow away /tmp when it is on disk on a routine basis so that it doesn't collect dust.
Will do! Thanks again for the feed back.

RE: The Dangerous Delusions of the Blackberry Fan
I live just down the road from the BB company. That's what you get when you try to hoard what you deem as top of the line technology. Someone is always out there hustling to be better then you. Most times thinking your too good to use other ideas can put you in last place. Now they have to play catch up.
I heard they are trying to team up with Samsung. Now that sounds interesting. -
RE: What is your greatest weakness?
I'm in the same boat as the girl in the interview. However, I don't think my honesty is my weakness. My honesty only weed out those who can't handle the truth. In turn, points out those who are ok with living their life as a lie. I have my few friends I do have trained not to come to me with there problems if they don't really want to know the truth.
My girlfriend to this day, after x amount of years still have a problem with me being honest.
I may get myself in trouble saying this, but MOST woman likes their truth sugar coated. I don't have time to add sugar. If we are in danger, I don't have time to say...dear please duck. I'm going to say PUT YOUR DAYUM HEAD DOWN!! lol! As for the booty comment. Someone was right about that it's a cultural thing. Society are just now catching up with the African American community. We've always thought a big butt looks nice. As long as it don't continue to shake after you have stopped walking for 5mins. It can even have a couple of dimples. Butt, excuse the pun, if it has more dimples then the moon...it's an issue.
Now, if you must know, the rule of thumb for any female booty is:
No matter big or small, if it looks like an upside down heart you have a winner! If she's baggy in thongs, she may still be under age or God is punishing her. lol!
If a guy has that heart look...well lets just say he best not go to prison.I'm Mr. Wright, that's my view on Butt-ology and I'm out!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MANGOLASSI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I just want to come by and show my respects to a IT community that is not only top of the line intelligent, but a community that do not look down on others due to lack of knowledge, go out their way to help you, so down to earth, very passionate about what they know and are willing to encourage you as well as help you to become a better IT professional. I'm sure I speak for Mangolassi when I say:
What ever you learn on Mangolassi or in life...with kindness pass the knowledge on and make the world a better technical place.
Let's give three cheers for Mangolassi! May you last longer than Microsoft and Apple!

Some great project ideas on Linux include:
- Jump Server
- Web Server (WordPress or otherwise)
- Storage Server (NFS for UNIX machines, SMB via Samba for Windows)
- Media Server (share out those home movies and music)
- PBX (like FreePBX or Elastix) to use as your home phone system
- Logging Server (ELK or similar, a bit more advanced)
- Stand alone database server (used by other projects, most likely)
- Wiki for home documentation (likely sharing the web server box)
- Directory server (instead of AD to manage your desktops
Thank you so much Scott for all of those suggestions. I will put forth an effort to do them all. Talking about stepping outside of your comfort zone. lol!

Thank for that feed back.

RE: VMware & Intranet vs Internet
@Reid-Cooper said:
If you do not want your VMware host to reach the Internet or any other subnet, you could also not give it a default gateway thus blocking it from communicating over any router automatically.
It's the computer I didn't want to reach the internet. However, I wanted the VMware to be alble to. I've, since then, achieved that mission.

@scottalanmiller How do you handle the inevitable user in dept. A needs access to B's stuff?
How about making a folder that only dept. A & B shares and leave it up to them to be discreet about what is shared?
