Peer to Peer, NAS and NTX -> CDX

[Marc Venken]

I also have a Synology DS218 that I use for the backups. I see that this can also be used as server ?

Is that a option to work with or just keep the DS218 as backup media ?

Excluding some or more options )))

I have several clients that use a Synology NAS as server.
I have to say that then all are converted to SQL. On a Synology NAS you van install the MariaDB package, and it work very nice with FW

You can also use it with CDX, but that is slower than SQL

But with the NAS, they are using it as a Peer to Peer system I suppose? Not the way like the server solution of Otto ?

Do you mean not with Remote Desktop (Terminal Server)? Indeed, but if you use it with SQL it's very fast
On some Synology NAS, like mine, you can also run VMWare. So you can install an Virtual Microsoft server. But a normal PC will be faster.
I don't use my NAS as VMWare server. I have a seperate ESXi-server, running several VMWare's.

Marc, Michel,

From My region

Where do you go for your hardware ?

Ik know : VBC in Bree en Bells (meerdere locaties) of Coolblue

Hello Marc,
Just as a test, we virtualized WINDOWS on a Synology and tested it with RDP.
But the performance is not adequate.
I think then you would need a model of the 3600 series.
Best regards,
Otto

Thanks.. I will use the Nas for backups and a new Laptop/Desktop system when I start with RDP.

Marc Vanzegbroeck, may I ask what SQL could bring for such small applications as ours.
I think the lack of the dBase Editor (DBU) alone cannot be substituted.
By the time phpMyAdmin starts, I already have done all the work with DBU.

I am convinced that RDP, DBF and the other formats (xml, doc, xls, jpg, etc. ) and the inclusion of the filesystem of the operating system enable so much that it does not make sense to include an additional layer.

Best regards,
Otto

Otto,

I don't think that sql users are using phpmyadmin a lot now a days.

There is free software like Heidisql that is a great DBU system for SQL.

[Marc Venken]

Do I look for the windows server software 2019 or 2016 ? Maybe 2019 is overkill ?

I did not see any prices for them, but will look them up today.

Otto, what do you think ? 2016 or 2019. As far as I see 2016 will be stopped updating end this year.

[Otto]

Marc,

I would only buy 2019.
Then you are on the pulse of the time.
It's not about customer systems, it's about you.
Best regards,
Otto

Marc,

I have used HEIDISQL before I used phpmyAdmin.

Mr. Rao then worked on a phpmyAdmin clone based on xBrowse. But there was practically no interest and the project is asleep.
This clone would be a killer app.

But there is nothing better than direct access via dbf.
I'm talking about programs like you and I do.
If you work for a corporation or for foreign bosses, it's a little different.

Best regards,
Otto
