Surge Protection
Have anyone experienced hardware failure related to electrical spikes coming into your datacenters or equipment locations via the telco facilities? I am referring specifically to copper facilities for DS1's, etc. I know that the telco must maintain good grounding, but sometimes when you get hit with a few Gigavolts worth of electrical energy not much will help you. Whatever the case, has anyone had any experience good or otherwise with surge protection for their Telcom circuits? I am looking at this unit below as a possible solution. http://www.apc.com/products/family/index.cfm?id=19 TIA, Shawn --- Shawn Fisher Bresnan Communications (v) 914.641.3367 ---
Network Change Process - best method
Here's a small question that might take a big answer. Is there any open source tools that can help organize and facilitate "Network Change Processes"? If not, what are some of the tools you reccomend using to organize and coordinate moves, adds and changes? Thanks --- Shawn Fisher Bresnan Communications (v) 914.641.3367 ---
Interesting news story - Cisco Training Manual
http://www.lulu.com/items/59000/59202/print/Basham-whole-text.pdf Interesting story about some professor that wrote a Cisco training manual and made it available for free. The site hosting it is getting crushed a bit today. http://zdnet.com.com/Professor+gives+Cisco+manual+away+for+free/2100-1103_2-5255083.html?part=rss&tag=feed&subj=zdnn Pretty basic stuff, but I applaud the generosity of time and effort he must have put into this. --- Shawn Fisher Vice President - Advanced Services Bresnan Communications (v) 914.641.3367 ---

Re: This may be stupid but
I created a test of my own that I typically give to candidates. This has proved very helpful in determining if the prospective hire has strengths in the areas I need. Everytime I have skipped using the "test" I get burned. That being said I am still looking for attitude and work ethic as being a major component of the decision.

Re: Reachability problems for www.listen-to.com
We received a 69.144/16 from ARIN and spent the following few months requesting numerous operators to take that space out of their filters. Apparently for various historical reasons many operators filter the entire 69. Block. That could be part of the problem. -- Sent from my BlackBerry Wireless Handheld
Portable Cooling
I searched the archives and couldn't find anything about a portable cooling units so am resorting to posting, sorry if its redundant. I am setting up a development lab and need additional cooling on a temporary basis. I recall a product called, "move n kool"? It looked like the robot on lost in space. They used to advertise in Boardwatch when Boardwatch was cool. (when Jack was running it) Not sure of the spelling, but wondered if anyone has had experience that or anything like it. TIA Shawn

I agree certifications are overated at best. Give me someone with the right attitude and I'll teach him anything.

I consider myself one of the 'old guys' and all the experience in the world doesn't mean &%*$&%*$ to a recruiter OR a company hiring manager if you don't have the magic initials they've heard about behind your name. I was always too busy doing my 'real job' making the customers happy so I never spent time getting 'useless' certifications or developing networking relationships with other professionals for later use. Those of you with jobs, be very careful not to be lured into that trap. You've got to think of your future first and foremost. No one else will.

Datacenter Spec's
Can anyone point me to a good resource for datacenter spec's or best practices? Looking for specs related to: Powering Racking Cablemanagement Grounding Raised Floors etc. TIA
This may be stupid but..
If this question is inappropriate for this list I apoligize in advance. I have several open engineering positions that I am trying to fill without the use of a recruiter. My thoughts on using a recruiter is they end up extracting a fee from the employer that would be better put to the future employee. My question, what is the most effective way to recruit quality engineers? Does anyone have experience or opinions to share? TIA, Shawn

What are people using for network based anti-virus? A friend of mine started a company www.raeinterent.com/rav and claims to have an industrial anti-virus app that plugs into Communigate Pro.

This is my first post so please be gentle. I would like to get some opinions on the Best Mailserver in the Universe. Is there a more appropriate list for this question? I have looked at Communigate Pro, IMAIL, and others. I am interested in integrated solution that can scale to handle 500k accounts Any experience good / bad would be great. Thanks /SF
