Open Source Tools in Data Centers

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the bread-and-butter dept.

An anonymous reader writes "There is a nice presentation on the L.A.S. Linux site entitled "Managing Data Center Functions with Open Source Tools" which was presented at Comdex 2003. It covers everything from IPtables to OpenNMS. As well as covering some less known but nice tools like NeDi, which lets you easily manage Cisco routers and swiches from a web browser."

    Another tool to monitor a Cisco-based or other networks is JFFNMS

    It can monitor TCP Ports, Network cards, CPU, Memory, Disks, all using standard SNMP, with no client side scripts.

    You can integrate it with your OSS using various RPC methods, everything is stored in MySQL or PostgreSQL.

    Its very extensible too...

    "I would contribute a lot of this money myself towards a 100% open-source, stable, secure distribution specifically made for web hosting."

    Would always could but never did. I've seen this type of comment made so many times, but it's rare to see someone actually put money where their mouth is.
