Work UpDates.

Well Folks, It's been awhile since my last Blog.

I've been really busy with the ISP and keeping up with technology. We have since implemented the FireWalls on the ISP network. Open Source (Linux) seems to be the way forward for all of our new projects. This actually makes sense since Linux is the foundation for all of our platforms. Somewhere in the middle there we started going with Hardware appliances which were not standard Linux but Windows veriations.

Our VOIP solution implementation seems to be coming along quite fine. We have made several different tests calls and all seem to be correctly setup and working properly.

We have also implemented some unique bandwidth monitoring and reporting tools. Tomorow I am going to connect the final leg of our second STM-1. I will have to do bandwidth testing on it in a stand-alone environment. This should be great as there is nothing like being the only person sitting on a 155MB connection to the internet and trying to pull down files for testing.

We seem to be have problems with some internal GBIC links on MultiMode fiber. It seems to be hit and miss with this stuff as they worked first, now they are no working at all. We've had the contractors in twice already and changed everything out already but nothing seems to fix these issues.

Last week was budget time and everyone seems to have put in some really good stuff. If all the budgets are approved we should have a pretty productive year.



Well till next time.


Sentebale.
