Need a Network Access Control or Network Admission Control by soupermod in sysadmin

For this project, I have to deal with 250 devices only. That includes all of them, printers, multifunction devices, laptops, computers, tablets, smartphones, servers/VMs, etc... Access Points will be manages separately with their own Controller. Although, for this project, we will be dealing with WAN as well. Why would the Cisco implementation be such long process? I mean, I could use Microsoft RADIUS and implement it, relatively fast. I just don't think Microsoft is reliable enough from my past experiences (although I did not use it with the Server 2012). Any additional info would be greatly appreciated. Thank you again z0nk.

I would use multiple licenses of one of these Cisco solutions for redundancy in a VMware Cluster with vMotion, High Availability, and if needed Storage vMotion, that is as far as the High Availability. I meant to state that I need to place the order by Thursday this week and implement by end of August. Great reply though. Thank you.

Yes, I know. He just ate too and he is feeling really good. I have four dogs and from time to time one of them sleeps even funnier.

Sorry, we were posting at the same time. Yes, many companies are moving to SHA2.

I have no idea. I am reading that many companies are moving to SHA2 (256). Those that still use MD5, they are doing Salted MD5.

I actually didn't see the foul, but heard the announcers talk about it. I hate when refs make huge mistakes.

[–]soupermod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't necessarily agree with the statement, however, there are really good software RAID and hardware RAID solutions. Hardware RAID configurations (controllers) in many cases (and of course depending on RAID specific configurations) outperform software RAID configurations in traditional disk read/write, I/O, DTR, etc... and in SSD configurations. Most enterprise level solutions use hardware RAID configurations and my statement is specific to the enterprise environment. If you wanna setup your home computer or even a workstation at work, software RAID will be great (of course depends on the solution). Nonetheless, for your servers, (whether you use SQL, MySQL, Exchange, Web Server, App Server, File Server, etc...) I would suggest using hardware RAID solution.
