Huawei has emerged as the ideal partner to help energy companies to achieve their ambitions. Why transformation in energy is powered by digital.

Wireless routers for the road. OpManager is available in a free version. This has all of the functionality of the paid edition, but it is limited to monitoring only three devices. Those interested in the paid version have three choices of plans: Standard, Professional, and Enterprise.

All versions are available for installation on Windows Server and Linux. Access a day free trial of ManageEngine OpManager:.

With Kiwi Syslog Server Free Edition you can collect, view and archive up to 5 sources including routers, computers or other devices. Logs may also be written to disk—either in one large file or split up by day or priority. You can view logs in real-time, gather stats, and even setup warnings and alerts. If you want to get more serious, I recommend upgrading to the full version.

Nagios is a networking monitoring software solution. With Nagios XI you can monitor everything from infrastructure to applications with granular detail. With Nagios Log Server, you can quickly sift through a central repository of audit logs, or setup triggers to alert you to critical events such as threats.

And with Nagios Network Analyzer, dig deep into the health and integrity of your systems and network. Analyze flows, validate intent and troubleshoot with the lights on. What I like most about Nagios is their straightforward approach to monitoring.

They have multiple ways to represent data visually, which is another key interest of mine. Lastly, the built-in failover is wickedly cool if you start monitoring larger environments. Named after the popular top command in Unix, ntop shows network usage similarly to how top shows system usage. Ntopng, based on libpcap, is the next generation version of the original ntop. It was written in a portable manner, which gives it the flexibility to run on numerous platforms: Linux, Mac OSX, and Windows.

Web-based, ntopng allows you to view traffic data and gather reports regarding network status. You can even do long-term reports to collect metrics such as throughput over time. I personally use this tool to generate detailed host-based reports showing applications latency, RTT, TCP statistics like retransmissions, out-of-orders, and zero windows. As a bonus little feature, you can actually authorize specific IPs or ranges to limit sending and receiving directly to the server for advanced security.

Think Skype with the addition of a Webcam. It turns out that Netgear isn't the only one still gutting it out in the powerline equipment space.

Usually the terms "ultralight" and "rugged" don't mix together when you're talking about notebook PCs, but Panasonic has found a way to create some models that are thin and light, yet can take a beating.

You gotta hand it to Netgear for sticking with the powerline market when it seems like everyone else just wants to sell wireless gear true home networking gurus like yours truly integrate wireless AND powerline.
