Management Tools

Monitoring

At AGLT2 we are strong believers in good monitoring and configuration management. Read more about our usage of tools such as Cacti, Syslog-ng, Ganglia, and Cfengine here.

Benchmarking

Benchmarking

We have benchmarked a variety of hardware from Dell, Sun, and Nexsan running OS including Linux, Solaris, and FreeBSD. Some results are posted on our wiki.
