I will be using it shortly as Sonar bought WISPMon. All of the major billing\OSS platforms with modern features are also cloud-based, so there's not really anywhere else to go.
That's fine for you that it works that way, but many WISPs are increasing their use of on-premises virtualization. What about your monitoring, DNS, RADIUS, syslog, Unimus, mail, etc., etc. servers? Yes, my reasons do outweigh arbitrary reasons to keep it in a cloud environment. Actually, I've been fairly quiet on this particular issue and will be increasing my advocacy efforts in this regard to all billing\OSS platforms. As I said, it's the SFP port of the billing\OSS world. ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions Midwest Internet Exchange The Brothers WISP ----- Original Message ----- From: "Darin Steffl" <darin.ste...@mnwifi.com> To: af@afmug.com Sent: Tuesday, October 17, 2017 10:08:47 PM Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Sonar I'm in agreement with Simon that it's much faster and reliable to host in the cloud than a server on site. It would cost me many more hours, hand holding, and worry if I had to host this server in my network. If I went on vacation and something happened, I'd be stressed. With sonar living in the cloud, there's less to worry about as it's hosted in a much more reliable datacenter than I could afford to build. It's also managed by sonar's team so if there's an issue, they take care of it. Stress free for me. I see why you might want to host it in house but those reasons do NOT outweigh all the benefits of letting sonar host it in the cloud for you and take care of the problems. Mike, if you don't like Simon's decision to leave it in the cloud, shut up and move on. There's no reason for you and Matt Hoppes to keep beating a dead horse and sound like a broken record. Use something else you're happy with and let the rest of us grow our business and make more $$$ while you two complain about a product you don't even use.
