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 [...]
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. [...]
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 [...]
Blogger predicts the death of death
TweetWell, it’s not all as earth-shaking as that, but I’m getting tired of grabby headlines that loudly announce or predict the death of this or that. Starting with disco, hardly anything is as dead as people like to say. Cultural trends and technologies alike are much more prone to mutate and evolve or get reborn [...]
The Net Admin’s Family Has No Bandwidth? Au Contraire!
TweetDoubtless you’ve heard the phrase, “The cobbler’s children go barefoot” which means that sometimes professionals neglect their own families with regard to their profession. As the marketing director with out of date business cards, I sympathize, but I think this is seldom true with networking professionals, or even IT types in general. I bet half [...]
For its birthday, does TCP/IP get a 7-layer cake?
TweetOk, that was bad. I freely admit it. But that doesn’t change the fact that good ol’ TCP/IP is in fact 25 years old, as I was tipped off to by Jeff Caruso’s Network World blog. It was Jan. 1, 1983, when Internet precursor ARPANET switched over fully to TCP/IP. TCP/IP is so well-known that it’s [...]
Oh My, MSP Monitors Medical Machines
TweetThis item via the MSP Mentor blog points out yet another way for smart VARs to get out of commodity selling and deliver sustainable service revenues by specializing. Heyer’s new Advanced Remote Management Services (ARMS) provides customers with proactive remote monitoring and maintenance of Heyer [ventilation, anesthesia and inhalation] equipment — while complying with network [...]
Flowing with the go
TweetI spent some time in flow state yesterday at work. That’s rare for me, unfortunately. The life of a middle manager can be full of interruptions and meetings and crises, with precious few opportunities to buckle down and get some honest work done. I’m sure you can relate, whatever your job might be. For those [...]
Networking Resolutions for 2008
TweetToday is the Winter Solstice, the shortest day of the year. It’s also the last Friday before Christmas and New Years, the last pay period of the year, and for me, the pivot point between budgeting and planning ahead for 2008, and starting the performance review process looking back on 2007. In January we’re going [...]
