Anyone set up 3G repeaters in their office?

I installed one of these in our building. It works great for AT&T.... Verizon, not so much

We use Dell racks. They work great with the Dell Ready Rail system, and also with the HP servers that we use. We also have Eaton PDUs and UPS's in them. They are a little pricy, however.

We use a repeater system from Quantum Wireless. It is an antenna and booster system that retransmits the signal from the tower to inside our office. There are probably 50 phones on it and it works great.

You would be looking for CNA, Cisco Network Assistant. ASDM is only for ASA/Pix.

You should use the Ruby CSV library.... it will eliminate several lines of code and make it easier to run through your Excel csv's

I recognize this is not the point, but as a non-professional programmer, I relish the opportunity to help others with their non-professional code.

Check out Unitrends. You could put in one device at your office and another in your datacenter. Backup to the one in your office and then have it replicate the changes to the one in the datacenter. Initial sync may consume a lot of bandwidth, but from then on, you should be golden.

Thanks for this. I am evaluating F5 versus NetScaler right now.

At my old gig, we managed our render queues with Rush ( http://seriss.com/rush/ ). It worked really well and the scripting interface allowed us to tie it into pretty much everything we did.

Our hardware was 36 blades in a blade rack from Verari (now known as Cirrascale). They all ran Opterons. We completed numerous 3d shots for several features while I was there (small operation, only 4 full time 3d artists and a couple 2D guys).

30 year retention policy? What industry are you in?

I have one from System76. It works pretty well. I also have a Dell Latitude E4100, and it took some doing, but it runs Ubuntu pretty well.

I also saw your post on Spiceworks.

Reduce the amount of meetings as much as you can. The more time that is spent in meetings, the less time is spent on tasks.
Schedule annual or even bi-annual performance reviews where you honestly provide feedback.
Don't be an asshole; meaning, don't ask anyone to do anything that you yourself would not do. This is not to say don't delegate. See next..
Learn to delegate. Let your team handle their duties. You handle your team. I had a real hard time with this one for a while, where I would just do everything. This is a colossal waste of resources.
Try to get your company to sponsor outings at least twice a year for team-building or just blowing off steam. You can't be go-go-go all the time.
Relax. If you were chosen for management, then you likely showed something to those that chose you. It's hard to follow an uptight, stressed-out leader.

Why? With rsync+tarballs you do not get rollback in the event of deployment failure, whereas with systems like Fabric+Git and Capistrano, you do.

Looks like you hit a URE on a second drive. Since you were still a RAID5 at that point, your array may be toast. Are these SATA drives, by any chance?

We just switched over to CSC a couple of months ago. They do a good job, in my opinion. We also looked at MarkMonitor, but they wanted something like $40K.

I have an MIS degree. I am a Director of IT. The two statements do not necessarily correlate. I spent years at tech support, sysadmin, and senior sysadmin before becoming director. Do what interests you in school, make up for any deficiencies with practical experience.

Computer Science is not necessarily a degree in programming (more applied mathematics), whereas a degree in MIS is mostly concerned with the business aspects of IS. I took many ethics classes, philosophy classes, and business classes. I am happy with my decision, although in my environment (software development company), I wish I had taken the Comp Sci route.

This was 10 years ago. I am now Director of IT for an SMB.

I worked tech support for about 5 years, and then got hired as a sysadmin on a leap of faith. Everything worked out in the end.

We were told the same thing and ended up going with Force10. Those are awesome switches.

We use Dynect DNS. They charge on the 95th percentile for queries.

For Ruby, you can use RVM. It will manage your runtimes and gemsets for you.

Yeah, we got it at $4 per device/month.

As do we. I think it works really well, as long as users don't get tripped up when installing the local app.
