Here is an awesome letter that I received from John Moran at Big Shoulders Fund this morning.  They are doing incredible things for the children in the neediest areas of Chicago.  They deserve your support too!

Robert,

 

Replace your file servers with ShareSync

Every day, your end users are generating more and more data. And all that data is being stored in a rack of servers somewhere in your office. This sounds handy, but if you’re in charge of that storage rack, you know all about the headaches that come with it:

Here is an interesting blog entry from Harvard Business Review: When You're Innovating, Resist Looking for Solutions.  I have often found this to be true in most any aspect of life.  Taking time to properly analyze the situation will almost always lead to a better solution.  An example can be as simple as asking the customer what they are looking to accomplish vs. what are the looking to buy.  Often times what the customer perceived they wanted is significantly different from what they need.

Today is Veterans Day!

As we mark Veterans Day, we're reminded of the incredible sacrifices that our nation's servicemen and women make each and every day in order to protect our freedoms. America's men and women in uniform - both active duty and retired - deserve a debt of gratitude for their selfless service to our country.

So to all our Veterans, the team at ETRN extends a very special THANK YOU! Thank you for your selfless sacrifices and the Honor that you show our Country in your service!

Update - 15 April 2019:  The PwnedList site now appears to be offline.  In it's place you can try the "Have I Been Pwned" site at https://haveibeenpwned.com/

Earlier today we suffered an outage at our mkc1 (Kansas City) data center.  Here are some details about today's event:

Our thoughts and prayers go out to the victims of the Joplin Missouri and Reading Kansas tornadoes.  Please contact us if there is anything that we can do to help!

We Answer Your Questions: FAQ

Q: What is the maximum e-mail attachment size?

A: The ETRN.com e-mail servers do not limit the size of individual e-mail attachments. The ETRN.com e-mail servers do impose a 400 MB maximum total message size limit. Individual customers can choose a smaller message size limit. We can also customize the handling of "over-sized" e-mails. Please contact us to discuss your specific needs. A couple of important facts:

1. Attachments are typically encoded in what is called Base64[1]. As a result, the actual length of MIME-compliant Base64-encoded binary data is usually about 137% of the original file size.

2. E-mails often contain both plain text and HTML components. This also increases the overall size of the e-mail.
