Like many of you I'm an IT professional and general geek. I enjoy playing around with various hardware and software at home, both from a 'cool factor' standpoint and for learning. It got me curious as to what everyone runs at home for software/servers?
I currently have a Synology NAS that handles my file server duties, torrents, Radius, and TFTP, then an ESXi box that's running a few different VM's, Sophos UTM for router/firewall/utm duties, a Windows Server 2012 Box that is supplying DHCP and Active Directory, Cisco Communications Manager for Voice. I also have a Vera Lite for home automation, DSC Security system with IP interface, and am probably going to add a Kodi/XBMC box soon once my theater is completed. I've been considering getting some kind of graphing loaded like Cacti or Observium, and SNMP monitoring would be nice as well but I'm not sure what is available that's good and free, I use SevOne at work which I like quite a lot but can't justify spending money on licensing for home use. .
So, what all do you run and why?
