We have zero issues there.
I think people vastly underestimate just how much in the healthcare vertical is outside of a medical providers control/ownership.

A general shift in mentality from the vendors we use I guess. I'm not sure how you get a bunch of medical providers to tell these companies they need to fix their stuff.

It's just in crazy times like these where, if congestion on the public internet gets too crazy, that certain platforms might need to be deemed "unnecessary". Is playing Fortnight a right? Is streaming a movie in 4K a right? In cases like San Francisco they have decided that leaving your home for anything other than work or medical care is no longer a right because you're now infringing on other's rights by potentially getting them sick. Maybe 4K Netflix fits into that category if you're causing problems for first responders and hospitals trying to save lives.</div><br><div><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><font color="#000000" face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif"><br>- Mike Bolitho</font></div></div></div><br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Tue, Mar 17, 2020 at 2:22 AM Mark Tinka <<a href="mailto:mark.tinka@seacom.mu" target="_blank">mark.tinka@seacom.mu</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><br>

I get this, to some extent. But also, there is a reason hospitals,<br>
airports and military installations are either put on special power<br>
grids or invest plenty of money in backup power.<br>

If an x-ray machine won't work because the Internet is down, I'm not<br>
sure that is responsible. As inefficient as it may be to have a license<br>
server on-prem if there is an option to check against one in the public<br>
