January 2013 Meeting

I'm sorry this is so late. I have been very busy.

The January 2013 meeting had Mike Beltran talking about the Managed Services Products, specifically, the Cloud Platform. Mike took us through a few of the many features of this program. It will allow you to manage and service your networks, even remotely. This program will allow you to configure settings, set updates, and create and work on trouble tickets on the entire network.

Some of the features include: Settings, System Log, Service Modules, Alerts Categories and Schedules and Policy Sets and Modules. Their Cisco router can also be remotely adjusted if necessary. It will also allow you to email service tickets to technicians at any time.

This cloud platform will also allow you to see what printers are working, off line, levels of ink and even paper jams. This would really help if you notice a problem before any kind of ticket or phone call comes in. Talk about being proactive!

With the ease of use for this program, it is easy to see why it is gaining in popularity. The capability to configure and troubleshoot firewalls, network services, file servers, email servers and backups makes this a real contender in the Networking world.

Thank you, Mike, for showing us what this can do!!

The next AITP Meeting will be Saturday, February 16, 2013 at 1pm at ITT Technical Institute. When I find out what the topic will be, I will post it.

See you there!
