PRTG is good. It can be made overly complex.

I'm using basic Spiceworks scans. With netwrix disk space monitoring running every night.

Haven't really considered network monitoring. I might put that down for consideration next year.

Is Netwrix pretty good? Do you use it for any file server auditing or anything else?

Well, we're just using the disk space monitor and probably a really old version too. It's not really that helpful as I get better information out of Spiceworks.

Link seems to not work.

A bit of necromancy there. . .

Alright, good luck 🙂 Let me know if they end up needing remote help

It is super quiet. You can barely hear it over the normal office background noise. I mean you can of course hear it if you stop and listen, but it is not intruding on the office noise level at all.

And yes the unit is cool enough. It moves a lot of air. That is why I put the plates in the front to force the air over the servers and not empty space., just to be safe though. I have to change the filters bi-monthly.

We are at nearly 7,900 posts. We are only hours away from passing the most active, known site on this platform without having imported content from a former platform. So we are pretty high priority 🙂

Has it now been surpassed?

Not quite but we are getting closer and closer.

Nice..more post, more fun

I would not recommend Used or Refurb gear to my company. I just don't see the value in it. Hardware is so cheap these days.

Most Small to Medium businesses only need a few Servers to host their virtual environment of 50-100 servers.

Here is something that can help both end users and MSP's. If you are working on a large project, we can setup your current environment in our lab, do a benchmark, setup your new environment, and then show the performance gains. You could then take the results to your management or customer and show them real world benefits and not just manufacturer data sheets.

Very nice. That's a great feature.
