I liked the first season of Halt and Catch Fire but have not had a chance to catch any of the second season. I thought it had a good touch of tech, intrigue, and history.

Thanks for the information.

Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for the information.

Funny, I was reviewing the monitoring system in my data center and I was thinking an improved guage dashboard would be beneficial

I have been fortunate in the companies that I have worked for that the policy has been that anything IT related goes through the IT department. This is set at the CEO and follows down through the ranks. It is then the discretion of IT as to whether or not to dedicate resources or allow the system to be supported elsewhere,…

Power Shell! Power Shell! Power Shell!

We are moving to the service desk moniker as well. Great post with both helpful and educational items.

Great information!

That is true that it is all becoming completely interconnected.

Good information. Reminded me of my college professor and the encryption class that I took.

Enjoyed the post, thanks!

Interesting article. 

Absolutely! The trade-off is always what gets left out to make it pretty or work in the graphical framework.

Effective rationalization of the roles! Kudos!

Interesting post

Helpful.

Informative article.

Agreed bookmarking for future reference. Thanks for sharing.

Good listing. Made me think about my first network projects that I was responsible for some 3 decades ago. I wish I knew then what I know now. I would have set up the rack differently, I would have ensured that every cable was labelled, and that I have an autocad type drawing showing how everything was connected. I had the…

Nice article!

I will agree with cahunt but we have a hard line on security first in whatever process and application discussions. The new side sees to it that we continually take hard looks at security patches and needs rather than go with the "If it ain't broke, don't break it" mantra. It does cause us to continually strive to learn…

Great article. I am looking forward to the rest of the series. We have a highly security minded CIO and we have been working diligently for the past 2+ years converting our infrastructure to support Zero Trust. We have a long road to go but we are also working to training the users to understand the reasons why as part of…

This post contains the details I have been looking for. Looking forward to reading the whole series.

Thanks for sharing. Good discussion!

But, I often have to remind those youngsters about the history of how we got here because as the saying goes. "If we do not learn from our history, we are doomed to repeat it". I am pragmatic in trying to mentor those younger than I. I am also reminded of a college friend who also told us "Teachers teach us *how* to learn,…

The elusive Single Pane of Glass to analyze and view the network and systems configurations is the goal. Probably realistically can't get to the cloud and security needs with first having the view. It would be nice to have only one FCAPS system but the realist in me states that open standards interaction between the…

Did this idea ever come to fruition? It is an interesting concept!

I think with the prevalent trend of data breaches, the more we can isolate critical aspects of our networks the better our security will be. I am trying to see if we can go beyond just compliant at this organization.

I enjoyed the article and the four-part series was informative. Thanks!
