Thank you for the responses guys, happy to go with the 7770 :-)

Afternoon i have an Asus P5Q Pro, it has 2 x PCI Express 2.0 x16 slots and currently an ATI Radeon HD 4800 installed, unfortunately it doesn't support DX11, as such looking for an intermediary upgrade rather than a new system, the Asus HD 7770 looks like it would do the job, appreciate it is...

Greetings, im currently rolling out multicast on a campus network consisting of ~2500 users and need a software based media server that can be used to perform load tests under different conditions, one that could also set the DSCP bit on outgoing streams would be ideal. I know i can use VLC...

Not overly familiar with Sonicwalls but this is easily done with NAT, better approach would be to use policy based routing should you want to failover any services to other lines in case of WAN failure. Normally prefer to use Cisco but for a cost effective all in one UTM device Fortinet would...

Just throwing this out there, have you looked at the LAN for any bottlenecks, oversubscription on switch uplinks or possible NIC teaming issues?

Correct - Metric/Hop count can be set to 1, typically though a directly connected network has an administrative distance of 0 from a routers perspective. There is one error here though, the connection between the two devices needs to have a unique common subnet. ie: 192.168.1.0 /24 ---...

Fiber termination equipment is expensive because its a highly delicate and precise operation which requires skill and experience to perform correctly. The money spent employing a fiber technician to do the job properly far underweighs the cost of purchasing the equipment yourself. I can...

It's all a case of non-overlapping channels. 802.11b/g (2.4ghz band) has 3 non-ovelapping channels - (1,6,11), however the european standard allows for 4 (1,5,9 and 13) 802.11a (5ghz band) has 23 non-overlapping channels. Essentially when deploying multiple access points in the same...

If it's UTM you want at a decent price point, aswell as built in IPSEC/SSL VPN support i would go for the Fortigate. As mentioned above the 80c is your best fit. http://www.fortinet.com/products/fortigate/80C.html I normally sit in the Cisco camp but they cant compete at this level in...

That's a very broad question indeed, can you be more specific? Intel Xeon based servers have been arround since 1998 and are used in millions of deployments worldwide, so yes, there are excellent in short and have direct competition with the AMD Opteron brand.

The university would most likely inspect internet traffic at ingress/egress points on the network at layers 4 - 7. IE: Even if you pipe P2P applications through HTTP you can still inspect within the packet to determine a lot more than just source/destination port numbers. Yes nearly all...

I dont think is possible as under the LAN configuration you can specify a primary and secondary network, the primary is typically subject to NAT and the secondary a routed interface. What happens if you specify the two private networks listed above in the primary and secondary fields?

Another vote for SuperMicro especially in the SFF space.

Excellent reply, thank you :)

I also use the portable product sheets for referancing performance statistics: http://www.cisco.com/web/partners/tools/quickreference/index.html http://www.cisco.com/web/partners/downloads/765/tools/quickreference/routerperformance.pdf The reports from Miercom can also prove useful although...

Greetings, i have 3 sites spread across three countries UK, Germany and USA Each site has two servers running Windows 2008 Server, all servers hold a copy of the global catalogue There is a single domain/DNS namespace "domain.local" UK Site Server01 - Holds all FSMO Roles...

If it's just a single GRE/IPSEC tunnel you should get away with the using the 871 sat behind the ASA, just create a static NAT entry on the FW and present a public address to the 871. My only concern is that the 871 can only handle 12.8Mbps sustained performance (CEF Switched) If performance is...

Your not running Layer 2 Protocol Tunneling anywhere on the network are you? http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/switches/lan/catalyst3560/software/release/12.2_25_see/configuration/guide/swtunnel.html#wp1005050

Personally the best way to keep it secure in conjunction with the security guides listed above is to implement a clientless SSL VPN solution, if you’re looking at moving to an ASA within the near future it is very feature rich, also the clientless SSL VPN client leaves no footprint on the host...

I would assume that because its been running for so long that the switch configuration hasnt changed: IE Speed and Duplex settings, Spanning Tree Disabled per port, Correct VLAN's, No port security set on the ports? Ive had several occasions where servers are configured to use a specific VLAN's...
