A cheap way to help your network bloom in a down economy
Posted in General, IT News, NetFlow on April 7th, 2009 by Jo-G
With the current state of the economy and job losses running rampant, many people are turning to gardening to offset their household grocery bills. These gardens have been aptly dubbed Recession Gardens. We can apply the concept of Recession Gardens to the world of technology and, specifically, to network management.
Think of recession gardening as taking a step back to our roots (pun intended) and using the tools and resources that are available at little or no additional cost. For example, you most likely have Cisco NetFlow technology on your network. You can get even more out of Cisco NetFlow by adding to it a NetFlow Analyzer software application, which are widely available for free. The result is the best and “freshest” network management available, at a very low cost.
