What switch do i need?

Hi All,
I am not familar with the range of products from cisco in regards to content swtiching so i thought i would ask here :)
What we are going to have:
6 http/https/imap+ssl servers
3 incoming smtp servers
1 big ass RAID or SAN
all beefy machines, we are probably look at providing 35,000 webbased/imap email accounts where say 15,000 people could be logged in at any one time.
would a CSS 11500 be overkill for this?
cheers
dave

Cisco Content Switching Products include:
Cisco CSS 11500 Series Content Services Switches
Cisco CSS 11000 Series Content Services Switches
Cisco LocalDirector 400 Series
Cisco Catalyst. 6500 Series Content Switching Module
It is recommended to CSS 11500 for Small/Medium networks and
CSM over 6500 for large networks.
Am not sure about the no. of connections it can support though.

  • What Macbook do i need? And whats frontside bus?

    I am buying a new macbook and I need it to run great and fast for evcerything i do. Here is my average use. What macbook and how much ram, gbs, ghz etc. do i need? Also, what is frontside bus and how much of that do i need?
    Here is my average use: (all, at once)
    Using MAC OS X:
    -Chatting on MSN Messenger
    -Reading/Sending emails. (Using Mail or gmail.com)
    -Heavy internet use (5-10 windows open at once, some using macromedia lash)
    -Using iPhoto to edit photos
    -Occasionally running iDVD in the background and switching to it every so often.
    Average use using boot camp (Windows XP Pro):
    -Running TheSims2 Pets (need it to run fast)
    OR:
    -Streaming office spreadsheets or power point presentions
    -On MSN Messenger with Webcam
    -Heavy internet use
    -Editing photos with Piccas (google)
    -Reading emails at gmail.com
    What MacBook do I need: ____
    How much RAM do I need: ____
    Frontside bus: ____
    How Much GHz do I need: ____
    How Many GBs do I need: ____
    What graphics card do i need: ___
    Other: ______

    Here's what I'd suggest:
    Macbook Pro 15.4"
    2.0ghz
    1gig of RAM (2 gigs is great, but 1 would do)
    80GB or 100GB Hard Drive (depending on how much space you plan to use for Windows XP)
    The 2.0ghz comes with the ATI X1600 mobile 128mb card. This will be fine for running the sims.
    Basically you could use a standard macbook with the same specs. The only concern I would have is running the Sims 2. The Macbook's integrated video controller(Intel GMA950) may not do so hot while playing the Sims. I'm not sure how well the gma950 does with 3d games.
    Macbook 13"
    2.0ghz
    1gb RAM (again i recommend 2)
    80-100GB HD
    Hope this helps.
    Brian
    edit: The front side bus is the bus (channel) that carries electronic signals from the CPU to all other hardware devices (RAM, Video card, HDD, etc) All macbook models (13" and pro models) have a 667mhz Frontside Bus.

  • SCCM 2012 What Ports Do I need to open so DMZ servers can communicate with my SCCM Server?

    Hi,
    What ports do I need to open in the firewall so my DMZ servers can talk to my SCCM server on the network?
    Here are my steps before to make my DMZ servers talk to my SCCM server:
    1.  On my SCCM 2012 SP1 CU2 I have bounderies installed --> I install SCCM Client on my DMZ server with the appropriate switches --> I go back to my SCCM server to approve the server --> Works
    But now my DMZ servers stops getting definition updates from my SCCM server and I was suggested that it is much easier to open ports in DMZ.
    Now, could you please tell me what ports should we open to ensure two way communication among servers?
    Thanks!

    Yes and no. It's a bit muddy at times.
    For Internet based clients, putting an Internet-enabled MP in the DMZ is perfectly acceptable because Internet clients will only choose MPs enabled for Internet communication.
    For systems in the DMZ, that's where it really gets muddy. There's no perfect way to accomplish this. IMO, DMZ clients should be allowed to go back to the MP/DP in the Intranet with a targeted opening in the DMZ firewall rules that allows them to only go
    to the internal MP. That's a security policy question though for your organization.
    Another option is to treat the clients in the DMZ as Internet only clients. This way, they will only go to the Internet MP in the DMZ. You do lose some functionality though like Remote Control.
    A final way is to actually put an MP/DP in the DMZ and deal with the timeout's that happen when clients try to talk to the MP in the Intranet. Clients will try 5 times to contact that MP before giving up. They try to find a new MP at the following times
    (which are not configurable):
    - Every 25 hours
    - WHen the client detects a network change
    - When the client agent starts

  • What MIBs do I need?

    I'm implementing some testing solution.
    I need to comunicate via SNMP with CISCO MDS 9148 FC switch
    I need to:
    Read interfaces status
    Set interface down
    Set interface up
    The question is what MIBs do I need to be able to do mentioned over? I'm using Python + NetSnmp module.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Sergei,
    IF-MIB probably contains what you are looking for to manage interfaces but you will need to load some other mibs as well.

  • Problems running basic text in aftereffects faster than 19fps... what exactly do I need?

    OK, so I finaly upgraded my computer into the mild 21st century, and to my disapointment, I cannot seem to run anything as smoothly as I had thought.
    These are the specs for my computer...
    ASUS m5a99x EVO motherboard
    8 gigs ddr3 1600 ram
    NVIDIA 9800gt 1 gig ddr3 gpu
    AMD Phenom II x4 B50 Processor at 3.2ghz (IE its an AMD athlon II 450 X3 3.2ghz with its fourth core unlocked (of which i have had no problems with thus far, as it seems to be very stable)
    150 gig 7200 sata 2 harddrive (OLD)
    200 gig 5400 sata 2 hard drive (OLD AS SH*T)
    300ghz portable usb2 hd (7200) (2 years old)
    Basicly, I cant seem to run even basic text in after effects faster than 19 FPS.
    I've tried to change the resolution to half, and even a fourth, and that didnt work at all, infact it made it run about 1 frame worse.
    I tried changing the Open gl texture memory, raising and lowering, but to no avail, Ive changed the ram usage in after effects to use 2 gigs per core, then one gig, then turned off multiframe rendering alltogether, and nothing.
    I feel like ive tried everything in my power.
    Now the Imacs at my school, they run the program smooth as hell... and they arent that much better, spec wise than my computer.
    Even my friends Imac can run it smooth, and he only has an I5 cpu at 2.4ghz, which is fine and my understanding of cpus is that those are better proccessors, but its not that much better, and even still, why would that be neccesary just to run text scrolling accross the screen?
    Even more so, why would changing the resolution not have any effect?
    What exactly do I need to run after effects smoothly for a basic text scroll at say, 720P?
    I need to know what to upgrade, soon I plan to get cs6 and I would like to have a computer that can edit basic HD properly.
    What I realy dont get is that I know people with laptops that are running AE smoothly and these are much worse than the specs on my machine, some even with only 4 gigs of ram...
    Is there something wrong, do I have some sort of frame limiter thats capping at 19 fps? is there some sort of memory leak?
    Any help would be much apreciated.
    Now the only thing I can think of thats holding me back is the crappy hard drives, every thing else seems like it should at least run text on after effects at 30 fps.

    thanks, that at least is enough to get me started, lol I have a deadline tomorrow and have been burning a lot of time on just trying to get this to run smooth.
    BTW, I am running the project off of the portable, I switched from the old, but faster harddrive that was sata2 to the portable given I thought that might increase the speed, which it didnt.
    what I might do is crack the case and just plug it straight into the computer, though I am hesitant to do so as if I were going to do that, I might as well just purchase a usb 3.0 one and do that so i can get sata 3 out of it, since those cases dont exactly just snap back together.
    When I say basic text, I mean layered text, just word after word in order. I honestly dont have any plugins that I know of, (if I had the money for them I would have spent it on a better computer probably) so what I have is what came with the master collection.
    And when I say 19 FPS I mean spacebar...
    NOW I KNOW, that Im not garunteed 30 fps when running the preview, but when I use the mac, it previews fine... and i just looked up my CPU in comparison to the I5 in the IMAC that I was refering to, and mine is actualy faster according to some benchmarks, granted its not faster than the vast majority of I5s and I7s, but the particular ones in the computers I was refering to, mine is actualy faster over all, so I figure its not a CPU thing (unless its a -our software only works right on INTEL- thing).
    Now as far as the 3d camera, yes I am using it, but even when I run the text without a camera function (ie the thing that you have in your comp) or any sort of 3d layering it runs just as slow.
    The Audio might be a problem, I used to have a soundcard, but that died about a year ago so I have been using onboard sound (realtek HD something) which truly sucks in comparison to a proper sound card, but I cant imagine the IMACs have anything better, I mean the sound from the Imac kinda sucks alltogether, dosent even have any sort of virtual surround... But a driver issue it could be, realtek is kind of ghetto in that regard.
    I will try some of the tips above (the open gl and the preview output and such), and thank you very much.
    *EDIT*
    OK, so with the preview output, I have computer monitor only? is that what you ment?
    *EDIT*
    OK, so I did the OpenGL thing, removed it, and for a brief few secconds, it started to run at a mix of 25 to 30 fps, then, when I went to play it again, it was back at 19.

  • What file format is needed?

    A group of friends has been collecting old high school video, and I'm supposed to edit the clips into a movie for a teacher's retirement. Most of the digital clips I'm sent are mpg4. What format do I need to convert them to to be able to drag them into iMovie and use them? I just switched back to Mac from years on the inferior platform, and I'm trying to figure out how to use iLife software

    Chances are you can import the mp4 directly into iMovie with the FILE/IMPORT command.
    If not, come back for more ideas.
    If it does not work, try opening the file in QuickTime Player. Then click WINDOW/INSPECTOR and tell uf everything that you see next to the word FORMAT:

  • What components do we need to implement NAP solution ?

    We use win2003R2 and win2008R2 servers , win7 laptop,win2008 DHCP, cisco 802.11x switch,Access Point, cisco acs radius server, windows CA.
    I am planing to implement NAP solution.
    What components do we need to implement NAP solution ?
    I think it needs NAP server role and third-party antivirus Win NAP compatible software.

    Hi,
    As we know, there are five NAP enforcement methods, NAP Enforcement for IPSec Communications, NAP  Enforcement for 802.1x, NAP Enforcement for DHCP, NAP Enforcement for Terminal Services Gateway, NAP Enforcement for VPN.
    Due to you have many devices in your environment, which is the primary means that you want to deploy NAP? In my point of view, you could configure NAP enforcement for DHCP or for 802.1x Wireless or for 802.1x Wired.
    To deploy DHCP NAP, we need a DC, a NPS server as RADIUS server, a DHCP server as a RADIUS clients and a DHCP client.
    To deploy NAP Enforcement for 802.1x Wireless, we need a DC, a CA, a NPS server as RADIUS server, a 802.1x wireless access point as a RADIUS client and a 802.1x wireless client.
    To deploy NAP Enforcement for 802.1x Wired, we need a DC, a CA, a NPS server as RADIUS server, a 802.1x authenticating switch as a RADIUS client and a 802.1x wired client.
    You could choose one of these NAP enforcement based on your environment. More details about NAP configuration, please refer to links below,

  • What All Do I Need If I Want To Upgrade My Macbook Hard Drive?

    hey guys.
    i've tried reading up a little but i was hoping someone (or a few people) could give me some straight up answers.
    if i want to upgrade my macbook hard drive what all do i need? just the hard drive? or are there other pieces?
    also.. whats a good 250GB one? i found this one on ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-2-5-Western-Digital-250GB-SATA-Harddrive_W0QQitemZ220271 134397QQihZ012QQcategoryZ158853QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
    is that one any good? i just know the name (Western Digital) and have heard good things about them...
    any comments are welcome.
    thanks!
    beau

    I got a 320GB sata 2.5" hard drive and installed it myself, its easy. I also got a caddy so I can use my old 120GB drive as a back up. Make sure u have everything backed up! Seagate and western digital drives are most popular. I asked similar q and got this answer"
    Extended Hard Drive Preparation
    1. Boot from your OS X Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger or Leopard.)
    2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID (only required for Intel Macs) then click on the OK button. Set the number of partitions from the dropdown menu (use 1 partition unless you wish to make more.) Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the volume(s) mount on the Desktop.
    4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
    6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
    Steps 4-6 are optional but should be used on a drive that has never been formatted before, if the format type is not Mac OS Extended, if the partition scheme has been changed, or if a different operating system (not OS X) has been installed on the drive.
    If your backup is bootable, then boot from the external drive and use SuperDuper to clone it back to the newly installed drive.
    Mac Pro 2.66 Ghz; MacBook Pro C2D 2.33 Ghz; MacBook Pro 2.16 Ghz Mac OS X (10.5.4) Intel iMac C2D 17 "; MacBook 2.0 Ghz.
    And
    Now, to install the hard drive, follow http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Mac/MacBook-Core-Duo/Hard-Drive-Replacement/86/5/

    Of course it doesn't. But you can buy an adaptor from HDMI to the Mini-DisplayPort port on the computer.

  • What adapter do i need to connect my computer to the internet

    I am woundering what adapter i need to plug into my computer so that i can  plug my computer directly into the wall and use the internet using a ethernet cord.  I am not wanting to use wify for that does work great. I have to plug my computer directly into the internet using an ethernet cable unfornately the new mac pros do not come with and ethernet port. I am wanting to do this because of 3D gaming they say that i can not use wify to play that particular game but have to be connected directly. I do how ever have thunderbolt port actually two. I also have usb 3.0 the mac store says that i need a thunder bolt ethernet adapter but which one i need to buy. I have been reading alot on those adapters and they say that the adapter is Giabit ethernet adapter will that work with normal internet speeds or is that cable just for a gigabit Network it is hard to understand all the details and what is going to work... I have also heard that the thunderbolt is faster but what the thunder bolt is used for is to connect a display or is it used also to connect to the internet directly. any help on this would be great.. My question again is what adapter do i need to hook my computer directly to the internet?

    You need the Thunderbolt to Ethernet adapter > http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD463ZM/A/thunderbolt-to-gigabit-ethernet-adap ter
    Thunderbolt is a video, audio and data port, so you can use it to connect external displays, external drives or different adapters to connect a display or connect the Mac to the Internet. In the case of Ethernet, you won't notice the Thunderbolt speed, as it's more for external disks
