Cisco Live 2009: Solarwinds blows attendees away

Cisco Live 2009 is now just a memory and bloggers Scott Hogg and Wendell Odom were there. Both Hogg and Odom agreed that network management company Solarwinds was a standout on the show floor. "In my opinion, the company with the best booth was Solarwinds ... their booth was amazing and the cartoons on their booth were a refreshing contrast to the typical boring trade show booth. All the Solarwinds folks were dressed in garage shirts and wore bright orange Converse All-Star shoes." Adds Odom:  "New Cert 1: Solarwinds (www.solarwinds.com) got to put nice glossy brochures on all the seats in the hall of the general session. In it, amongst other things, they announced a new certification - The Solarwinds Certified Professional. This is NOT a Cisco authorized cert."

    Brad Reese on Cisco

    Is Marc Andreessen betting $300M against Cisco's successful acquisition model? by Brad Reese

    Cisco CEO John Chambers has never been shy when it comes to bragging about Cisco's ability to catch market transitions: "We build our culture at Cisco around catching market transitions." After reading an article today in The New York Times, it's my personal opinion that Marc Andreessen is betting $300 million that the next market transition will make Cisco's successful acquisitions model obsolete. How so you may ask? Well, Andreessen plans to watch what companies Cisco...

    Planning for the Worst by Jimmy Ray Purser

    There always a few phrases that come to mind when folks say one thing and do another. Practice what you preach, Physician Heal Thyself, Lead by example, etc... I have designed many networks all over the world and without a doubt the single most important issue is redundancy. Fail over is measured in milliseconds in today's networks. When designing a network for redundancy it's the little things that get you in the end. Skimping a few bucks on this or that can cost big cash in the future.... 6

Another notable feature is the bulk import/export functionality. This allows you to work with objects, devices, and device overrides in bulk instead of the previous per device...

    From the Field

    Happy 2-Year Anniversary - A Reminder to Focus on What's Really Important in Network Engineering by Michael Morris

    This Saturday, July 4th, marks the two year anniversary of my "From the Field" blog on Network World. It's been a great and demanding experience.

There are usually around 10,000 to 15,000 unique readers of my blogs each month. I have to thank Network World for marketing Cisco Subnet so well and I have to thank my loyal readers who wait each week to read my eloquence (come... 5

Security advisories from Cisco and elsewhere

Cisco Security warns of IOS HTTP hole with no patch Cisco on Friday reissued a security advisory originally released to the public in December, 2005.
