We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.

    HP Server

    The plastic ducts are there to help with airflow from the server's internal system fans. I'm not too familiar with HP servers (I'm a Dell guy), but there should be small fans sitting vertically in front of those ducts. The fans pull cool air from the front of the case and push it directly over...

    Branch Office - Astaro/Sophos vs Zyxel vs Cisco

    It's being heavily considered if the Cisco quote comes back too high. While it's cheaper on the front end, I think it may be more expensive on the support side. There are plenty of Cisco certified MSPs, but finding a reliable Juniper one might be a bit tough. Some of the better MSPs who support...

    Branch Office - Astaro/Sophos vs Zyxel vs Cisco

    I agree with Zyxel, but the client is uncomfortable and I can't find a reliable MSP who wants to support it. I actually did request the security plus pricing, but it may put the project over budget. The Peplink router wouldn't be touching the VPN tunnel at all. It will still manage the T-1 and...

    Branch Office - Astaro/Sophos vs Zyxel vs Cisco

    It looks like Option 3 is winning unless the hardware prices come back too high. Astaro/Sophos UTM is nice, but from what I've read I don't think it has quite matured. Zyxel was shot down by the client on the basis of hardware support. Meraki didn't even make the first cut because it liked a...

    QTY 10 Unifi APs (UAP) $490

    I did the math for a quantity of 10 shipped to me. It's basically $51.69 per AP. If I were to break the APs down and ship them it would probably cost another $10.00 to $12.00 after shipping and insurance. You would probably only save about $10.00 give or take per AP if someone were to buy a 10...

    Branch Office - Astaro/Sophos vs Zyxel vs Cisco

    The branch office is within 50 miles of the main office. I have indeed thought about tunneling all traffic to the main office for filtering. I've been reading the overheard isn't too much, but I'm also considering split tunneling as well. I need to stay away from open source on this project...

    Branch Office - Astaro/Sophos vs Zyxel vs Cisco

    All: It's been a while since I've posted, but I still read these forums every day. I've pretty much gotten out of the consulting business, but I still on occasion provide assistance. I have a former client who is looking to setup a branch office (5 users) outside of the city. Right now at their...

    Hello: I'm looking to purchase a black 16GB or 32GB iPad/iPad2. I'm open to purchasing either the wifi or wifi/3G model. I'm looking to spend at most $300.00 shipped for either new/refurbished/used. The device must be in good to excellent condition without any damage to the screen. My pricing...

    Drawing the Line - Network Consulting vs. Employee Training

    Perhaps you misunderstood me. I draw the line in providing support to them if they want to give administrator access to all the critical equipment. That's a given and I'm sorry I didn't make that more clear. Well this client is the exception. I wouldn't mind being "out the door" at this...

    Drawing the Line - Network Consulting vs. Employee Training

    Hey: I've got a bit of dilemma and it would be great to hear from fellow IT network consultants. I've got a long time client who has recently employed a new office manager. She has requested that I train someone in the office who can handle basic IT troubleshooting (printer not working, account...
