RC7 Synergy - Solving network problems faster through network collaboration

Thursday, June 30, 2011 by Eden Mondanaro
"Collaboration" is a big buzz-word these days - but what exactly does it mean?

At the same time, there are vendors out there making promises and claims that are...Read More »

Monday, April 11, 2011 by Eden Mondanaro

Friday, April 8, 2011 by Eden Mondanaro
Service Providers are constantly looking for ways to speed delivery to market without compromising quality. Automation is the only way to effectively accomplish this task. Manual solutions and CLI are labor intensive and error prone which results in lost revenue and customer dissatisfaction.

Advanced Multi-Vendor Infrastructure Administration

Thursday, February 24, 2011 by Eden Mondanaro
Today we're going to be talking Redcell. While comparisons are nice (and we ALWAYS encourage people who are considering network infrastructure management software to do comparisons!) it's also good to just straight-up answer the question: "Why should I consider buying this product??"

When it comes to mission-critical infrastructure - network or otherwise - the folks running it are necessarily and understandably risk-averse. We wouldn't want it any other way. After all, do we want people to...Read More »

Tuesday, January 25, 2011 by Eden Mondanaro
There's a new/old movement in the air: that of the Venerable Art of the Urban Ninja. While watching one of these maestros of movement on YouTube referred to me thru Facebook (yes, they really do pay people for that) I was struck by the similarities between Redcell and what these guys do. Witness the Urban Ninja contemplating his environment. Does this remind you of a network administrator contemplating change?

Urban Ninjas survey their environment before jumping. Looks kind of like a network administrator contemplating change!

Being nimble, fast and accurate is important to both Urban Ninjas and Network...
