NetFlow Rap – A Mix Master Mitch Production

NetFlow Rap - A Mix Master Mitch Production

Plixer International is proud to present the YouTube debut of Mix Master Mitch’s first single, “NetFlow Rap”.

Enjoy!

Lyrics

Workin’ in IT’s a breeze
Got my chair back, feet up, crossing my knees (cuz I’m feelin’ it)
Got the collector running data, it’s reelin’ it
Writing data to mySQL, there’s no sense concealing it

Because I got it Scrutinized
A Big Mac, super sized
Just spent 9 grand, now all my NetFlow’s analyzed

Finally realized I needed a tool
Called up the Plixer and they took me to school

Engineer’s on site, and if that wasn’t enough
Even set me up to integrate their stuff with WhatsUp

Tables charts and graphs galore
Signed up for the webinar and learned that there was even more

Now I can run a report
And find out which cohorts are busy building heavy forts on my ports
Check my Top Conversations every single minute
Now when there’s a network battle, instantly I win it

There’s not another tool on the market to top this
I got a group and a flash map for every office
Now when I’m off eating crawfish
An alarm is set off, and I will know, so I can instantly stop this

So go to triple dub dot plixer.com
And download it off the web – don’t need a CD-ROM
So get a demo let them show you the tool
Cuz nobody thinks its cool to be the “I don’t know fool”

Go go to Plixer and they won’t steer you wrong
Then you too could sit back and listen to this song
But if you don’t go, I won’t be help responsible
When you get busted by the network constable

So just download and play today
They even have a free version if you don’t want to pay
Case in point, get your network fixed
And I know just the guy to do it, it’s the plkixey plix

You need this, in any given network today
Don’t know how you’ve been livin’ with no NBA
If every day you fall victim to performance paralysis
I don’t know why you think you don’t need behavior analysis

So if you’re waitin’, procrastinatin’, hesitatin’, and tool debatin’
You can escape from the fake statement you’re statin’ and makin’
It’s frustrating, making mistakes, because you’re pacin’ and waitin’
For the boss to stop flaking, wake up and stop the budget breaking

So many vowel sounds that now my head is aching
May fall off because it’s loose, just like the feet of Kevin Bacon
But back to the track and the point that I was makin’
Hold up, there’s a phone call that I’m about to be takin’

(hello)

There’s a radio station, somebody listens to it

But there’s an issue because there’s not enough legit bandwidth
We can resolve this real quick, just ran a report and found out that it’s Chris
Went to his cubicle and said Chris what’s this
The T1 is lit, the boss is pissed and pitching a fit
What’s that? How did we find out about it?
With the Plixer Flow Analytics

I spit this, just like a baby spits spinach
Flow Analytics will finish your decision, due to the features within it
Competition watching – chances of winnin’ business diminish
Like they were presidential running mates of Dennis Kucinich.

Happy Holidays From The Plixer Elves

Posted in General on December 24th, 2008 by Brian
Happy Holidays From The Plixer Elves

Whether your idea of a happy holiday is wiring temperature sensors to air ducts, catching viruses on coworker’s workstations, or sharing yuletide sentiments with family and friends, we can all agree on one thing; seeing your face plastered on a dancing elf is simply hilarious.

Thanks to the fine folks at Office Max and Elf Yourself, a few members of the team here at Plixer International will forever have the joy of living down this fine video. And so I ask, “where would be the inherent joy in said motion picture if it were not shared beyond these most hallowed walls?”

So, it is with the spirit of giving, rivaled only by that of good old Saint Nicolas, that we make available to the masses the Plixer International Elf Yourself video.

Enjoy!
