Cisco Networkers Barcelona
TweetThe Barcelona show is in full swing, unfortunately we didn’t have much time to attend the keynotes , but we did get to discuss networking management and monitoring with a great number of attendees and one thing stood out very clearly. How much enterprise networking professionals are concerned with bandwidth management. Not just looking at the [...]
Cisco Networker Barcelona
TweetHave now been in sunny Barcelona for a few days now. Cisco networkers show has been very interesting from several perspectives. First, the number of people attending. The show was sold out with over 6,000 attendees from all over Europe. Second, was the level of interest in network monitoring. Many people that we talked to [...]
Is IT Going Away?
TweetWe recently wrote an entry on Blogger predicts the death of death that highlighted the death of IT. Au contraire, my friends, IT is a strategic asset and in most cases a competitive differentiator, and there are plenty of examples from the Fortune 500 all the way down to small businesses. Within the context of IT, it all [...]
Downtime by the numbers
TweetBrowsing around, I found this piece in India New England (yes, that’s the name of the publication) called Network downtime can be big expense for business. Tim Hebert is definitely singing our song. To wit: Unplanned downtime is what keeps IT professionals, executives and business owners awake at night. Natural disasters and utility failures only account for [...]

If any of our loyal readers are attending, please stop by our booth (E44). Look forward to meeting our loyal readers and customers.
OMG, MAC SOHO NAS ROX
TweetI’m proud to report that the geeks here at The Daily Network Monitor did not tune in to the liveblogging or the live video of Steve Jobs’ MacWorld keynote today. We were out eating sushi. But to ignore Apple makes no more sense than to ignore open source, to ignore Windows, or to ignore Cisco. [...]
IT and The Millennial Generation
TweetWho is more demanding, the IT employee or the IT manager? The general consensus is that the IT employees are. A recent survey shows that 18 to 31 year old IT professionals are more demanding than previous generations and are disillusioned faster. Many millennials expect that they will immediately start at the top and receive higher starting base [...]
It’s the usability, stupid
TweetAs with any product or application it all comes down to usabilty. Usability is not driven by product management, marketing, QA or engineering, but by the customer. The truth of the matter is, if your product or application is not simple to use and has designed in usabilty, no matter what cool and complex new [...]
Social Network Topology Mapping
TweetIt’s good to stretch the ol’ brain once in a while. To that end, I popped in to MIT’s winter term to check out a workshop called “Coolhunting and Coolfarming through Swarm Creativity.” I don’t pretend to understand all of what was discussed, but I was struck by the analogies between the social network mapping [...]
Cisco goes Virtual
TweetVirtualization continues to spread from beyond its mainframe roots to encompass the network. Cisco announced a new management blade for their 6500 router last month that evidently kicks butt; doubles throughput, eliminates antiquated redundancy protocols and enables 20 times faster failover. It also eliminates the need for complex network architectural designs, multi-homing and multiple IP [...]
