It is to my amazement that I have managed to keep my small blog going for 8 years now. Ever since I started working as a network engineer in 2008 I am still very much involved all things networks related and still have a passion for this area, and everything IT related.

I have gone down the path of specialising more into network management tools and coordinating large projects with engineers and stakeholders and managing from start to finish the implementation works. I still remember my first blog post in 2008 about my first interview for a network role, well thats how quick time flies.

At the moment I have gained excellent knowledge and operations of the open source king of network tools – Cacti, Cacti Weathermap, Netdisco v1 and v2. As well as this I have used Ipswitch Whatsup Gold extensively.  I believe tools such as these (and there is many out there) are critical in any network support environment if you need to track bandwidth, speed, where servers/pcs are connected, and how healthy the network is. If you need assistance with these tools in setting up or tweaking to your environment send me an email and i’ll see what I can do 🙂

Happy 2017 🙂
