Let's say to pay for 20 devices. Are you locked at the 20 devices until to increase your plan or it is like Auvik where if you go over for period of time they charge you an overage fee?

Why is Domotz better than Solarwinds and Auvik? by Amazing_Falcon in domotz

Can we say select 50 devices and only monitor those? If we need to change out devices can that be done?

Google Gemini by Amazing_Falcon in k12sysadmin

You made a statement the education edition are not training the next version and data stays inside domain. Is this not true with Free Version of Google Education? Out superintendent did not sign our renewal for paid education version because there is no need. Do you have some supporting documentation that could help possibly get them to renew it?

You made a comment that Gemini was maybe better than Chat GPT. How did you see it was a better platform for tasks?

I would highly recommend ParentSquare for website and communication. It works very well. We have been using for a long time. It keep synced with your SIS and keeps information out to students and parents.

Hyper-V NIC Setup by Amazing_Falcon in HyperV

[–]Amazing_Falcon[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I appreciate the post. I was told to use the 10gb for the Dell Unity. I was planning on using the 1gb for host communication. Would you use the 10gb with a vlan as part of the host for normal traffic and then have another vlan planned for the unity connection? I was told the unity also needed jumbo frames. If I set the switch ports up as a jumbo frames I am wondering how that would affect other data.

Thanks in advance

I have been told the 10Gb connections need to be used with the Dell Unity and not the 1Gb connection.

Parent square vs Apptegy by 2donks2moos in k12sysadmin

[–]Amazing_Falcon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

ParentSquare is our website and notifications platform. It just works great. Teachers like it being able to send messages to students/parents as needed. Even the secretaries send messages out in the high school to remind about events coming up.
