A few weeks ago I wrote blog post about some cool technologies including NetFlow and Cisco's IP SLA and provided some information on what IP SLA can be used for and how it works. Since then I've become even more convinced that IP SLA is a must-use technology. I guess you could say I've gone from being just a fan to being somewhat of a fanatic. Sort of like the way I feel about Mountain Dew, spinnerbaits, and bird dogs - I just plain love 'em. Over the last few weeks I've really been able to get my hands dirty with this technology. I hosted a webcast -Deep Dive...

This week we hosted a free seminar in Washington D.C. on how to expose and leverage some key Cisco technologies using SolarWinds network management software. Specifically, we covered NetFlow, IP SLA, Cisco EnergyWise, and the new Nexus 1000v virtual switch. You can view the slide presentation from the session here . The seminar went really well. We had a great group of attendees with tons of questions during the presentation and great conversations afterwards. I learned a few pretty interesting things that I thought I'd share here... The majority of the people in attendance were...
