More and more departments around here are having security cameras installed with DVRs. Typically, the cameras are wired to the DVR with coax and the DVR is connected to the network. So far, everything is on the LAN only. Recently, I've started getting a few requests to "open this port for...

40 mbps from one provider and 40 mbps from another. Checkpoint is load balancing between the two and from 8am to 5pm they run at >90% of capacity.

We are currently using a pair of Checkpoint UTMs as our edge protection. For content filtering and control, we are using a combination of paid DynDNS and an internal Forefront TMG server as a proxy. While these together actually do a pretty decent job, the client side use of a proxy server...

I have a pretty good idea of what I want to do but rather than spend hours searching on the best way to do it, I thought I'd see what the Hive Mind has to say first. ;) I want to set up a redundant NAS at home to store pictures/videos/music...get the fragmented data off the PCs and in a...

We have an official replacement cycle policy and budget in place for desktop PCs. For servers, the policy is less official but each year we do inventory and identify those that need attention and put them in next years budget. For storage...we don't have anything in place. It was just in the...

Chrome now obeys Internet Settings from Group Policy so we moved it off our 'disallowed to run' list. Also, you don't have to be a local admin to install Chrome.

The hpacucli is not supported in esx/esxi. It will install and run but doesn't give accurate information or work very well. This is from personal experience on a DL380 G5 server. HP support will tell you to reboot with a smartstart cd.

I agree Paladin, I've never understood the draw either.

We have a number of video conference cameras and 100% of the time, they're used for 1 to 1 video calls. These are fully standalone devices and it's an IP to IP call on our LAN. Now I have someone who wants to do group video calls regularly. The user says "hey we can do that with Skype". I...

Yeah, I read that but it wasn't specific on "I'm upgrading my flash, what do I do". But I think this is what needs to happen. 1. Copy all the files on the flash to the tftp server. 2. Remove the flash, making sure the flash access light isn't blinking. 3. Insert new flash. 4. Copy all the...

I have a few Cisco 2800 series routers that I need to upgrade the compact flash memory from the installed 64M to 128M. What's the proper procedure to do this while minimizing downtime? The Cisco docs I've found just inform me on the proper use of the ejector button. :)

I didn't google it and the app store search engine should be smart enough to know that h323 = h.323! :D

As it turns out, Polycom has a nice little app. Would have been nice if it came up in the search results for "h323". Testing it now.

Is there an app for the ipad that will do h323 without requiring you to sign into their service? For example, we have several h323 standalone Polycom cameras on the network. I want to use this ipad that's connected to the network's wifi and make a direct call to the Polycom without having to...

Can you elaborate on why you don't like the Tripplite snmpwebcard? We have a couple dozen in use and they have been fine. The Tripplite cards are also hot pluggable in case you need to install in an existing unit. Last time I had to install one, APC were not.

Ok, ok. :) I have a detailed spec sheet from the vendor which will allow me to answer all those questions. It was more of a "in general, what are people doing in this type situation". 1280x1024 @ 15fps for all cameras. 20 cameras are mpeg4, bitrate is 2400 kbps. The other 130 are h.264...

One of our departments is looking into a project that will involve installing 150 IP cameras. The first question someone asked was "do we need a separate network for the cameras so we don't bog down the main network?". My thought is, with a proper network setup and QoS configured correctly, it...

My wife's "server room" at her business is rather small with too much equipment in it. It has a duct and a return but it's on the same central cooling as the rest of the space so guess what happens in the winter when the heater is on or in the spring when neither heating or cooling is on? Yep...

ditto.

What kind of pricing are you getting for cloud services? We currently use a Barracuda 400 appliance. Total cost per year for updates and instant replacement is $2,229. I just looked at mxlogic's website. $27.90 per license...so our 2000 users would be $55,800 per year! I realize for 2000...
