Enterprise Manager
There are 4 entries for the tag Enterprise Manager
 |
Joe opens things up by discussing his FTP Proxy Tech tip and his subsequent journey into the realms of the Wumpus (believed to be the first game written in the iRule language).
Warren then gives a rundown on F5's direction on network management. He discusses past products including SEE-IT, ISMan, and Enterprise Manager (EM) and where we are going with our future product ControlPoint (Joe wonders whey it wasn't named "CP"). He discusses features like network maps, capacity planning, custom reporting, and workflow. Warren then defines how we solve the "Mean Time to Innocence(TM)" problem among other frequently reported customer issues regarding management.
If you would like more info on ControlPoint, contact Warren Talbot via old fashioned email at w.talbot-at-f5-dot-com (he's not hip to the whole Skype thing yet - but don't worry, we'll get him there...).

Jeff introduces the gang. Colin points out how folks have been excited about new iRule Editor with support of Admin Partitions. Jeff talks about the new Open Performance Testing Initiative section of DevCentral. The team calls out for vendors to participate and for users to submit their comments and ideas about the performance test setup. Joe plugs his video tutorial on the admin partition support and his blog post about using FirePass to help publish it. Just alludes to an upcoming release of the FirePass Client API SDK. Colin recaps his use of FirePass from a train. Just talks about the new iTunes Podcasts for Video based Tech Tips as well as how this podcast got someone to come work for F5. If there are any iPhone users out there listening to this on their iPhone, let us know. Jeff comments awesome an iPhone can be for wardriving. Don says Lori's latest blog post is good reading.
Then the group talks about challenges with the DataCenter of 2010 (3 years may seem like a short time, but it's a long time in tech years). Jeff points that power usage by DataCenters is larger than all of TV's in the US. Colin points out that Power and Energy consumption will be a primary factor and things that companies are physically locating closer to power sources like dams due to lower costs.

Colin recaps our meeting with a DevCentral users on Thursday and discusses feedback on how we should work on "Best Practices" documents and the team talks about how we can help in that area.

He finishes with his iRule Editor tip of the week.
Don is finishing up the Java wrappers for iControl and discusses his "Best Practices" regarding documenting development projects. He also wonders about the millions of users who are reading our latest newsletter and how they are being conjured up.

Deb highlights last Monday's release of the Advanced Design and Config content and wiki on DevCentral. She also talks about the new CodeShare Sections for EM Templates, LTM Profiles, and Monitors.
Colin jumps in and hints at upcoming tutorials on persistence and http redirection. He also discusses the latest work he's been doing on enhancing DevCentral Search.
Joe talks about the fairly unknown FirePass CLI along with some recently added Helper Scripts. He also discusses a forum thread on HTTP URI rewriting.
Don covers what he thinks is "cool" in the iControl API after digging into it for his Java Wrapper project. He discusses how the API can help to avoid a 2:00AM pager alert!
Shout outs to DevCentral users hoolio and slarson74 for their great contributions to the wiki and forums.
