Top 3 Ways to Fix OneDrive Connectivity Error Code 0x8004de40 in Windows 10 – Guiding Tech
Method 1: Check Your Internet Connection
According to Microsoft, the 0x8004de40 error code on OneDrive means the app is having difficulties connecting to the cloud. And the major cause of this is a poor or unstable internet connection. To clear this error, the first thing to do is to confirm that everything is fine with your internet connection.
If you are accessing the internet using an Ethernet cable, ensure that the cable is properly plugged in. If it is a wireless connection, confirm that your router is up and running smoothly. You could also try rebooting your router.
Another way to check that your internet is working perfectly is to launch your web browser and open a couple of webpages. If your browser successfully loads the pages, that means there's no problem with your internet connection. Otherwise, you might want to fix your router or Ethernet connection.
However, if your internet connection is working perfectly and you're able to use the internet with every other app on your PC except OneDrive, then you should try other methods below to clear the 0x8004de40 error code.
One of the most common and effective troubleshooting solutions for network and connectivity issues on a Windows computer is resetting the Windows Socket (shortly called Winsock). For starters, Winsock is a program more like a middleman that facilitates the connection and exchange of data between your computer's app/software and your internet.
In simpler words, Winsock is the reason why your apps can use the internet. If your internet connection is strong and stable but some of your apps cannot access the network, resetting the Winsock could help fix the issue.
The 0x8004de40 error stems from the inability of OneDrive to connect to the internet and a Winsock reset should fix whatever networking issue that's affecting the app. Follow the steps below to reset your PC's Windows Sockets and get your OneDrive working again.
Step 1: Tap the Windows Key + X shortcut to open the Windows Quick Access menu.
Step 2: Tap Command Prompt (Admin) and grant the app administrative access.
That will launch the Windows Command Prompt interface.
Step 3: Type netsh winsock reset catalog command into the Command Prompt terminal and hit the Enter button.
That will reset your computer's Windows Sockets and fixes connectivity issues.
Step 4: Restart your computer to complete the Winsock reset.
Try signing in to your OneDrive after restarting your computer, and the 0x8004de40 error code shouldn't appear anymore.
When an app or program on your Windows PC starts to misbehave or function abnormally, one of the quickest fixes is to reset the app. Doing this takes the app back to the default state it was when you newly installed it on your computer.
Resetting the OneDrive app could also help clear the 0x8004de40 error, and here's how to go about it.
Step 1: Tap the Windows Key + R button on your keyboard to launch the Windows Run Dialog box.
Step 2: Enter or paste this command %localappdata%\Microsoft\OneDrive\onedrive.exe /reset into the provided box and hit Enter on your keyboard or tap OK.
That command would reset your OneDrive app.
Step 3: Launch OneDrive after the reset process and it should run smoothly without any error message. Alternatively, you can paste this command %localappdata%\Microsoft\OneDrive\onedrive.exe into the Run dialog box and tap OK to quickly launch OneDrive.
We also recommend restarting your computer after resetting the OneDrive app.
Note: Resetting an app might delete some of the app's data, settings, and other saved preferences.
This means you might have to set-up the OneDrive app from scratch i.e. re-enter your login credentials and reconfigure your preferences. The good thing is that resetting the app clears the OneDrive 0x8004de40 error.

Five signs that your business is ready to start migrating storage to the cloud – IOL
International/31 January 2020, 7:30pm/Mike Rogers
DURBAN - South African enterprises have lagged their international counterparts in migrating data centre infrastructure to the public cloud often because of concerns about latency, bandwidth and data sovereignty.
But that picture is changing rapidly following Microsoft launching its enterprise-class South African Azure data centres this year, with Amazon expected to follow with a local AWS data centre in 2020.
For many organisations, moving some near-real time storage and archiving requirements to the cloud is an attractive place to start the journey. Its simpler than migrating computing to the cloud and the payback time can be relatively fast. Here are a few signs that your company could benefit from moving some or all of its storage requirements to a cloud model.
1. The internal IT team is struggling to meet cost and availability goals
Many internal IT departments have become engulfed in fighting operational fires, with the result that their performance might be inconsistent across different applications or business units. Under pressure and under resourced, some of them are finding it difficult to meet total-cost-of-ownership goals and targeted availability service levels with the mix of new and legacy infrastructure under their management.
Moving some storage workloads to the cloud can help to restore predictability to costs and performance in the storage environment and improve service to the business. It can also enable the IT department to refocus its energies on innovation and adding value to the business, rather than on day to day storage administration.
2. You are struggling to keep pace with information security and compliance demands.
Companies once worried about the regulatory implications of storing their data in the cloud. That concern has given way to the understanding that cloud providers can offer a level of information security few enterprises can match on their own. If your company is struggling to keep up with the speed of change in cyber-security and data privacy regulations, shifting storage to the cloud can relieve some of the pressure.
Public cloud providers have made substantial investments in protecting against cyber-threats and other risks to business continuity. Plus, they offer cloud-based tools and services that are already compliant with regulatory needs. They also have highly resilient data centre infrastructure and can offer you a range of services for data backup and replication, so that you can be certain your data is well protected.
3. Your hardware is about to reach end of life
Were seeing a lot of South African companies sweat their data centre assets because they are reluctant to embark on large capex projects in a difficult economic climate. The result is that many companies have ageing storage arrays that are out of warranty, some of which could fail at any moment.
If this describes your business, it might be attractive to start moving some storage workloads to the cloud. An orderly migration to the cloud can help you to minimise the business interruptions that are commonplace in data centre upgrades and take advantage of pay-as-you-go pricing. It also enables you to redeploy capital towards other strategic priorities.
Best of all, the need to refresh hardware every four to five years will disappear. The service provider will take responsibility for ensuring that the infrastructure supporting your storage is continually upgraded when required so that it meets your evolving needs.
4. You are facing exponential, unpredictable growth in data volumes
Most organisations are facing an explosion in structured and unstructured data, which creates demand for more storage. But predicting exactly how much storage capacity you will need in six months or 12 months time can be complex. Getting it wrong could mean over-specing and overspending on hardware, or needing to rapidly add more capacity at short notice.
With cloud storage, a company pays only for the amount of storage it requires. If the amount of data you manage increases faster than expected, the cloud provider can accommodate your needs as they change and grow. If your storage needs shrink, you can also downsize your spending. This flexibility is a key benefit of the cloud.
5. You are looking for low hanging fruit in operational cost savings
Most organisations today are looking for ways to drive down operating costs, and storage can often offer some quick wins. Because they run such massive data centres, cloud providers achieve significant economies of scale in their environments and can procure hardware at a lower cost than most enterprises.
They also share labour, utility and infrastructure costs across multiple clients, translating into a low cost per gigabyte of storage. Because its their core business, they will have bought and developed the best software tools to optimise administration of their data centres. These cost efficiencies are passed on to the end-user organisation.

Getting the Most Out of Cloud Data Lakes – ITPro Today
Data lakes are having a moment. According to one recent report, they are expected to grow by about 30% over the next five years. Tomer Shiran, CEO of data-as-a-service vendor Dremio, explains what they are, why they make sense in the cloud and how to make them work best for your company. Dremio has its own cred: Founded just five years ago, the company is routinely named to "best of" lists, including Pagan Research's list of "Most Promising Big Data Startups in the World" and CRN's "10 Hottest Big Data Startups of 2019."
What is a data lake?
It provides a united source for all data in an organization by replacing the many siloed file and object stores that hold collections of data that tend to spring up inside organizations. Data lakes are also inherently open, providing clear separation of storage from compute and processing, and provide a non-proprietary storage alternative compared to ingesting data into proprietary solutions such as data warehouses. This gives organizations the flexibility to bring best-of-breed processing to their data as needed, while maintaining full control of the data itself.
What type of data do data lakes typically include?
Everything from structured data from relational databases (rows and columns), to semi-structured data such as CSV, JSON, to unstructured data like documents and binary data like images or video. Each of these data types can then be collectively transformed, analyzed and more.
How is a data lake different from a data warehouse?
Data lakes are a more modern approach to storing data for analytics. Even if you don't have the structure at the time you're ingesting into a data lake, you can structure it after you ingest it. It's also more flexible in terms of what you can do with the data. If you have data in cloud data lake storage, you could use Dremio to perform SQL queries and use business intelligence tools on that data, and then use Spark to perform processing and ETL jobs. With a data warehouse, you have to structure the data at time of ingestion, which makes it more difficult to get the data in. Also, it's more restricted in what you can do; basically, you are just running SQL queries on tables.
What types of organizations or use cases are best for data lake storage?
If there is strategic value in your data today or there may be in the future, you'll want to hold onto it and treat it as a strategic asset. It's also a good choice for companies that collect large volumes of data, with high variety that accrue at a high rate. Also consider it if you value maintaining control of your data at all times so you can apply best-of-breed approaches to analyze that data. Last, if you want to streamline and simplify your data architecture to support their lines of business and improve overall business agility.
Should a data lake be built in the cloud or on-premises?
We recommend organizations build new data lakes in the cloud. Cloud data lake storage can easily be leveraged by many cloud services for things like processing, analytics and reporting. From a scalability point of view, you can start with a few small files and grow your data lake to exabytes in size, without the worries associated when expanding storage and data maintenance internally. Cloud storage providers also allow for multiple storage classes and pricing options, which helps organizations only pay for exactly as much as they need, instead of planning for an assumed cost and capacity as is needed when building a data lake locally. Cloud data lake storage is also proven to be highly durable and available for example, eleven 9s of durability for Amazon S3. Finally, all companies have a responsibility to protect their data, and with data lakes designed to store all types of data, including sensitive information like financial records or customer details, security becomes even more important. Cloud providers guarantee security of data as defined by the shared responsibility model.
What about organizations that maintain some combination of cloud and on-premises data lake solutions? How can they make sure everything is synced up?
Most of the time some data lives on premises because that's where it's generated, while other data is generated and lives in the cloud. IoT [internet of things] data, for example, is generated in many different places and then aggregated in the cloud, but the company may have some business data that is stored somewhere in an on-premises source. In both cases, the data is not being copied from one location to another, so there is no need to keep it synced. Data consumers are accessing the data wherever it lay.
What if the organization already has an on-premises data lake and is considering moving it to the cloud? What advice do you have for a migration?
Migrating an on-premises data lake to the cloud can be challenging, since data consumers are connecting into all of the existing data sources, and any changes to those sources as a result of migrations break those connections and require data engineers to rebuild them. So, they need a way to abstract the underlying migration to the cloud from the usage by data analysts, business intelligence users and data scientists.
If you choose to standardize on cloud data lake storage, do you have to stick with one cloud provider?
Not necessarily. The multicloud model means you are using more than one set of cloud data lake storage, but that storage is used by a separate and distinct set of applications or workloads. In this way, an organization can spread its workloads around multiple cloud providers. This is true whether some of the data lake storage is on-premises (private cloud) or only in public clouds. Then there is the hybrid cloudmodel, where you are using more than one set of data lake storage in support of a single workload. In the hybrid cloud, the workload joins data from multiple data lake storage services. In this scenario, there could be multiple workloads, each joining data from more than one set of data lake storage. Once again, this is true whether some of the data lake storage is on-premises (private cloud) or only in public clouds.
How can businesses get the most value from a cloud-based data lake?
To take full advantage of data processing and analytics on your data, you need technologies that were built for the type of platform you are using. That's because the latency and performance aren't the same as what you would get with local NVMe on a single server. Because you're going over a network to another service, it can slow down the workflow if you aren't using a technology designed specifically for data lake storage.

Kasten klimbs Kubernetes kontainer protection mountain with K10 – Blocks and Files
For anyone wanting to code a data protection app for containers, Kubernetes (K8s) is a great big help. Because it orchestrates container instantiation and operations, it knows everything about them that such an app needs to know.
This theoretically puts three-year-old startup Kasten in a good position, as Kubernetes, a control plane for containers, is its gateway to container data protection. The firm uses Kubernetes to auto-discover containerised apps, and to list their components and their startup processes. K10, Kastens application, is a K8s data protection layer, using it and its interfaces to avoid having to have direct storage product system level integrations.
K10 doesnt need to understand specific array interfaces, using K8s CSI (Container Storage Interface) abstractions instead, for block interface and object interface storage devices. It works with any CSI-supporting storage system.
Migration and disaster recovery are covered as well because Kubernetes enables K10 to snapshot a containers entire state, not just the data it needs protecting. That means the K10-protected container can be moved to a different system and instantiated there; migration, and also sent to a disaster recovery site and kept there until needed.
Incremental changes can be snapshotted at intervals and sent to the remote site to keep it up to date. The remote sites can be in public clouds or on-premises, as can the source site. Wherever K8s runs then Kastens K10 can run; it is itself a containerised application.
Tolia told Blocks & Files in a briefing that in the containerised world, the app is the operational unit for backup and not, for example, the virtual machine. He said that, with K8s and containers: The software application monolith is blown up.
Mentioning a Fortune 1000 customer with 106 K8s pods and 538 app components, he said: Traditional backup software cant protect this. Recovery is very hard [and] scripting is too complex.
The company was started up in the Bay Area in 2017 by CEO Niraj Tolia and Engineering VP Vaibhav Kamra. It raised $17m in a A-round of VC funding from Insight Partners in summer last year and has set up a second office in Salt Lake City.
Tolia and Kamra were previously involved with cloud storage gateway business Maginatics which was bought by EMC in 2014.Its IP included a distributed scale-out filesystem.
The CEO was Maginatics VP of engineering and Kamra its engineering director. Both stayed with EMC until leaving to found Kasten.
Tolia calls K10 a data management facility for containerised apps; preferring that term to data protection, since it provides migration and DR on top of backup. To find out more detail, check out a K10 data sheet.
Kasten is fresh in the market and in a good place, with K8s orchestration set to become a standard feature of enterprise IT.
But two factors make the startups mid- and long-term position vulnerable to future attack. One is that it backs up entire containerised apps which can be re-instantiated. In other words it does not write them in a proprietary backup format, making it non0sticky in a backup application sense.
Secondly its gateway to the world of containerised app information is K8s, and that is open source, meaning anybody else can use it too.
Indeed Cohesity already does, and K8s-orchestrated container apps are just one of its backup source systems, which include multi-hypervisor VMs, physical server apps, such as relational and distributed databases, and the main public clouds, not available to Kasten. Cohesity can provide container app data protection, migration and disaster recovery too, like Kasten, but also file storage services, copy data management, archiving and more.
Other data protection suppliers could build their own K8s-based on-ramp to container backup as well, or buy the technology by buying a supplier, such as Kasten. It is easier for them to do that than for Kasten, with its limited resources, to expand into generalised backup or data management and take them on in their own product areas.
In B&Fs view, the ability to protect K8s-orchestrated apps will become table stakes for every data protection supplier in five or so years time. It will be a feature and not, as it is now for Kasten, a basis for a product.Time is short and Kasten has to move fast.
For mountaineering wonks, K10 is a peak in the Karakoram range, otherwise known as Saltoro Kangri 1. It is the 31st highest mountain in the world.

Google is taking another stab at a messaging service, and this one could work – Chrome Unboxed
I suppose it has simply been too long since Google made a new messenger, so its about time. Should we recount the ways Google has attempted messaging in the past? First we have Gmail, and it is great, stable, and embedded in our collective workflows. Gmail is going nowhere. We also have Duo for video chats and as far as we can tell, Duo is going to be here for the long haul as well. The problem really shows up when we start talking about instant messengers where Google has historically tried and failed to create something that sticks.
From Google Talk to Hangouts (which is also Hangouts Chat and Hangouts Meet in the enterprise arenas), Allo to Messages to Google Voice, Google has struggled mightily to develop a messaging platform that stands the test of time and is adopted as widely and universally as some of its other services have. There are a multitude of reasons for all the shifts and changes and attempts, but those are for another time. Today is about yet another attempt at a messaging platform for businesses.
The Information reports (via The Verge) that Google is internally testing yet another messaging platform aimed at business users. This new service looks to leverage Gmail, Drive, and Hangouts (Chat and Meet) into one singular service. Anyone remember Google Wave? From what we know of this new venture, Wave was a similar attempt that failed as well. It isnt all doom and gloom, though, as the things Google learned from Wave carried through to other products and connected services in the aftermath of its demise. Many cloud-centric services we rely on every day exist because Google tried out Wave. Check out the video below to see how far ahead Googles thinking was around all this back in 2010. Wave may have failed, but it clearly spawned all sorts of online, cloud-based productivity tools in its wake.

This new service from Google could help them fight back against services like Slack and Microsoft Teams where email, messaging, and shared cloud storage meld into a single, coheasive platform. I imagine there are some creative and unique things Google can do if they put all this together in the right way. Internal teams may be able to finally get away from the headache that is extended email threads. If youve ever worked in an environment where the primary communication tool is email, you know the pain I speak of.
For many communications internally, chats get the job done in a much more effective and consumable manner. Where they tend to fall down is in the management of documents and files and their re-integration back into email when outside communication becomes necessary. Slack and Teams do a good job with this once users are on board and leveraging the services, and it sounds like Google is ready to take a step in that direction.
I sincerely hope Google chooses to take what those services excel at and build upon them. Google is in a unique position with all of its assets to really create something special for the workforce, but they need to nail the basics, get everything that Slack or Teams users would expect, and then deliver a few new killer features on top of that. If they can do that successfully, maybe Google will finally launch a new messaging app that is necessary, makes sense, and actually sticks around for a while. Maybe, like Gmail or Google Calendar, this new service will turn into something that we will all wonder, years down the road, how it was we lived without it.

Epic tells customers it will stop Google Cloud integrations, says report – Healthcare IT News
Electronic health record giant Epic Systems has been notifying customers that it no longer plans to pursue integrations with Google Cloud, and will instead focus on integrating into platforms offered by Amazon Web Services and Microsofts Azure service, according to a report from CNBC.
That report notes that "insufficient interest" from Epic customers in Google is behind the decision to focus efforts instead with those cloud competitors.
Epics Vice President of Research and Development Seth Hain told CNBC that Epic invests "substantial time and engineering effort in evaluating and understanding the infrastructure Epic runs on."
He added that "scalability, reliability, and security are important factors we consider when evaluating these underlying technologies," and said the company prioritizes, "infrastructure the Epic community uses today and is likely to use in the future.
A report in The Wall Street Journal earlier this month noted that Cerner, Epics chief rival in the digital medical records space, which has also chosen AWS for its cloud storage needs, made the choice despite being offered "$250 million in discounts and incentives" from Google.
Cerner has since expanded its relationship with AWS, designating it as a preferred artificial intelligence and machine learning provider and aiming to migrate its core applications to AWS.
Google has also been on the defensive for months following the news that the company had teamed up with Ascension Health in a data sharing deal that raised industry eyebrows and data privacy and security concerns.
Google Health VP Dr. David Feinberg pushed back publicly at the Startup Health Festival this past week, defending the companys partnership.
"The press has made this into something that it's not," Feinberg said. "This is not us mining somebodys records to sell ads, to learn from it, to do machine learning, to develop products. We developed this on de-identified data. We brought this to Ascension. We're piloting with them."
While Google apparently signed a business associate agreement with Ascension, and the scope of the data sharing appears to be in line with HIPAA allowances, there are still many questions about how the patient information is being put to use.
