Backbone Monitoring Tools
by Ashe Canvar 29 Mar '06

29 Mar '06

Hi All, I want a simple backbone monitor for my 5 datacenters. My "backbone" consists of redundant IPSEC/GRE tunnnels. At the very least I want to ping, traceroute and transfer a small file every few minutes over all IPSEC links. I am sure there are products that do this already, but I am having a hard time finding any. The display format should be noc-friendly. A basic grid with green/red status indicators at the least. Geographical maps a plus. Do most of you use a home grown tool for this monitoring and alerting ? Regards, Ashe

Jon, abuse(a)yahoo-inc.com has been fairly responsive lately. Also: http://www.castlecops.com/pirt - ferg -- "Jon R.

Abovenet vs UUnet
by andrew matthews 29 Mar '06

29 Mar '06

So here is the deal, I've delt with both uunet and abovenet (mfn now) in the past. And a long time ago i switched from abovenet to uunet when i was with a different company. Now i'm with a company that has level 3 and Abovenet. Currently the way the pricing is layed out is by staying with abovenet i'll save about $1300 over UUnet. Money isn't too much of a concern currently abovenet is much higher but we are at the time were we need to renew our contract and we got it with a lower price. So which way? Abovenet or UUnet.. what are the pros and cons that you've experienced and what kind of latency do you have over the providers. I appreciate your feedback. Thanks Andrew

ATM was close to death before DSL came along, please don't CPR it anymore. Let it R.I.P. Growth of POS != Death of ATM While major hardware vendors continue to crank out hardware and software support, and while large deployments continue, it might not be fair to assume it resting in peace or pieces..

Rack Hardware to demise sections of existing cabinets
by Chris Davies 29 Mar '06

29 Mar '06

I've been searching the net for a solution to demise cabinets on 1/4, 1/2 or 1/3 boundaries. Since I'm in a facility that provides Chatsworth M-Series cabinets, and they won't allow me to put on the 'tri-door' kit (which doesn't demise the sections anyhow), has anyone seen workable door hardware to retrofit a cabinet? I found a few security screens that mount using existing mount-holes, but, those solutions don't allow removing the units inside without removing the unit. They provide front panel access, but, if a piece of equipment needs to be removed, the entire door assembly needs to be removed. This also doesn't demise the space to separate the individual tenants. Before I have a run of these things made by a machine shop, has anyone seen such a device? Replies off-list and I'll summarize. Thanks.
