Food for thought on this article.

Good article. I have been seeing a vision similar to yours over the last 4-5 years or so. After being in IT for over 34 years, it is refreshing view to see the holistic side of servers, network, etc to finally create the synergy between users and technology. As we who manage IT become accustomed to the greater view maybe…

we just upgraded to two of these and this would be extremely helpful. I can manually download the configs via SSH but looking to automate that.

These are things that I have observed over my career but never really thought about. Thanks for such a concise listing. Thought provoking as we continue to build teams to protect our environments. Complexity of the environment will certainly continue to grow. Good stuff!!!

Handy reference link. Thanks!

Personally, I am huge fan of documentation. I have been known to spend the first weeks of a project or job reviewing and/or rewriting visio diagrams for each of the projects I am assigned to. Then, I spend time with other teams documenting as well. I have also mentored many helpdesk and entry level techs on the importance…

It is interesting these days in the IT world. We are all charged with rattling the Security Sabre and including it in our daily tasks. But it has been my experience that most businesses see security as a huge elephant in the room. We know it is there, we know we need it, but it is cumbersome and inconvenient. But, we need…

Interesting comments. We utilize the Big Guys here for reasons of strategic partnering. I myself believe in looking around and even piloting solutions from all sizes -- startups, etc. Sometimes, just getting a different point of view can help solve some issues. Ultimately, if the little guys are swallowed by the big guys,…

I like the thought of that. We have a bunch of static reservations jumbled around the organization that I have no idea if they are still valid or not. I could write a script to validate them and to remove the unneeded ones. I like the concept of a separate VLAN to cover those special cases.

I think we have something in the works here!!!!!

Thanks for the information.

We have found that annual training, followed by quarterly "tests", and enhance new employee training has been beneficial in moving our awareness marks up. Thanks for the posting.

I like creativity. Thanks!

Looking at implementing a SIEM with log aggreation for this purpose. Definitely, need to be able to develop forensically deep when something happens. Fortunately, we have an extremely communicative department that discusses and reviews changes before they are rolled out. This gives us a good baseline to run against logs to…

Interesting and educational.

NCM is a great tool. I remember years ago working for a client and had to configure 400 firewalls, 5000 switches, and 100 routers all in the same physical building, and I had to hand configure each one. I was not allowed to template settings and definitely was not allowed any sort of automation. Today's tools make things…

Learn something new. Thanks for the post!

True words of wisdom. This series has been enlightening and informative. For an old IT person, it was a great review. It brought back lots of history and discussions from my 36+ years of consulting, field service, and corporate IT regarding working remotely. Thanks for posting this series!!

Lucky you!

Big fan of those devices. Used it in a previous company. We were able to turn a bonded T1 (3MBps) into what appeared to be a 12Mbps line and enabled several hundred users to access shares on the other side of the link like they were local and did not have to waste extra storage space duplicating the data.

This was a good series. I bookmarked for future reference.
