Deciding if we should go with MARS

We have a fairly large network and have come to the point where we are thinking about using MARS to manage things. I have a couple of questions concerning MARS:
1) How many here have installed MARS and are using it to manage every port in their network?
2) We are a healthcare facility and wonder if anyone else here is a healthcare facility that I could communicate with as we make this decision?
3) What high level things should I lookout for when thinking about going this direction?
I know these are global questions, but I wanted some opinions other than that of a Cisco SE or AM. I wanted to see the success of users in real-world scenarios.
Thanks for your time in advance.

David-
We use MARS, however we only use it around untrusted networks (internet, B2B, etc). Management wanted the smallest box possible even though we fought for a larger box so we could send more info to it. Part of your question is curious to me, "manage every port in your network". Can you elaborate what you mean by that?
We're kinda of in the Health Care industry, we do claims processing for providers.
I don't think it's possible to get a box that is too big. If you'll be dumping syslogs from EVERY device in your network, make sure you properly size it. If you're sending netflow, account for that as well. Feel free to ask any other questions.

    Lindsay,
    Your iBookG4 is still a pretty awesome Mac. Like already said, it has the power to run Leopard, but it depends if you have an internal DVD drive.
    Then I suppose you have to add up the cost of the OS, perhaps another 512MB RAM, iLife 08 and replacements for any favourite apps that you currently use (Leopard breaks a lot of stuff, but Intel breaks even more). Compare it to the cost of a new MacBook, which wil have all of that included and be 3-4x faster too.
    It also depends on what you want to achieve with your iBook. My PMG4 still cuts it today, I still use it in preference to my new Mac Pro, It's about the same age as your iBook, and I'll only stop using it when it becomes "painfully" slow. My 1 year old son currently uses the Mac Pro (parts for a Mac Pro are easier to replace than those for a PMG4).
    I think your choice is simple, if you can a cheap copy of Tiger, use that, it'll get your iPod Touch up and running. It came in DVD and 4 CD version (by request).
    Leopard will work for you too but a lot of the best eye-candy requires quite a meaty graphics card and you may need a RAM upgrade and replacement software - OS9 Classic is not supported in Leopard.

  • Cisco Works Integration with MARS

    Can cisco works be integrated with MARS. I mean cisco works is acting as a syslog server for some switches. Can mars pull the records from Cisco Works and use it for its co-relation

    As Michael pointed out, configuring two syslog destinations on your switch is possible, and allows the switch to send to both CiscoWorks and CS-MARS simultaneously.  This affords the safety that should one system be down, the other system will continue to receive syslog events from the switches.  Should you not wish to configure two logging destinations on your switch, you could configure your switches to send their syslogs to CS-MARS and configure CS-MARS to relay the received syslog messages to CiscoWorks.  This options is outlined in the CS-MARS user guide:

  • I am trying to decide if i should get the MBP or the MB

    i am trying to decide if i should get the MBP or the MB

    well im gonna use it a lot for school and for playing
    games and editing my own movies/videos
    The MB is a great school machine, for almost everything except serious video editing, 3D CG, or PC games; and that's pretty much what everyone is going to say.
    Everyone will also mention that if you don't want to be disappointed with game or video performance, you'll need an MBP with 7200 RPM drive and at least a gig of RAM (although more than a gig can sometimes decrease performance a little, so check the benchmarks for the games you like and the editors you'll use). You'll be giving up some portability (form factor, battery life, case construction), but you'll also be getting a card slot in return, which could be very useful for the video work (when the cards start shipping) to keep firewire devices on different channels, or tune in direct DTV and HDTV feeds.
    Between the MBP-15 and MBP-17, there is a significant difference for video work with the extra firewire 800 jack and dual-layer superdrive on the 17. If you're going to be moving large video files over a LAN, it also might be worth looking into gigabit ethernet routers. However, if you're not comfortable with dumping loads of money into video hardware and software, then the 17 is probably overkill, although at my config, the 17 was actually cheaper than the 15, go figure, so I got the 17 anyway to save money.
    Hope I'm not too redundant on this, but the wisdom here is fairly conventional, as Apple has intentionally added the "pro" moniker to emphasize these differences.

  • How team should work with maven

    Could somebody to explain how the team should work with maven.
    For example.
    10 developers and 1 team lead are working together.
    Everyones has the own module in development.
    Next, one made the changes in his module and marked it like
    <version>1.3</version>? And say to neighbor whous modul is depend on his: "will be make your modul to point version 1.3 for my
    <artifactId>his-app</artifactId>
    <version>1.3</version> ? Or how?
    If he to point the unexisting version the maven will swear.
    And next. There's something pom.xml for team lead on top level of another modules of developers which team lead to use for assebling?
    Help please to understand how to use this framework

    It sounds like the functionality you are looking for is what maven calls snapshots. This allows developers to build and deploy the latest code base on the fly and maven can grab the latest releases without having to continually update the pom.

  • I have a windows crash report for a hang that did not generate a crash reporter item. Is there anything I should do with it?

    Thunderbird crashed, or at least hung. Closed the program using task manager and windows generated a crash report. Crash reporter did not. Is there anything I should do with this, or does Microsoft send them on to Mozilla?

    That looks like a problem with a plugin, probably Flash.<br />
    The first report has a Flash signature and the second report also is plugin related.<br />
    Those reports are older (Jan 15).
    Do you have any more recent reports?

    Thanks for your kind reply,
    But is there a way solve this problem?
    And what is the use of leaving a field in the account assignment tab for an internal order while creating a PO and it will not take advantage of the settlement rule????????
    And as you know the internal order settlement is a way to create a multiple account assignment
    Can we solve the problem by making an automatic fake transaction that reverse the value of the GR/IR and creating another transaction can apply on it the settlement rule??
    You know that settlement rule process is one of the best features in the SAP system it save time and effort to make distributions manually

  • FIELD-SYMBOLS validation with MARA Table values

    Hi,
    FIELD-SYMBOLS: <itab> TYPE STANDARD TABLE.
    I want to validate mara-matnr with <itab>. The values in <itab> is coming at runtime, so i want to validate first field values in <itab> for all the records with mara-matnr.
    The values which are coming at runtime in <itab> is matnr, bukrs, lgort. I want to validate only matnr with mara-matnr.
    I don't know about field-symbols validations?
    anybody has an idea?
    Thanks in advance,

  • I got my new macbook pro 2012 but there's no idvd it should come with ilife but i didn't found it how could i install it

    Apple no longer distributes iDVD.
    1) Buy an old iLife from a place such as e-bay or Amazon.  Make sure it is a version that has iDVD.  Do not buy it from Apple since their version no longer has iDVD.
    2) Try a third party application (none really have the features of iDVD though).
    Burn (free) - http://burn-osx.sourceforge.net/Pages/English/home.html - includes basic DVD authoring but you will definitely have to read the documentation.
