Best practice to manage Information Technology System in Factory and Manufacturing Environment
Recently, I found a good program for network monitor. It was written by Python. It was a simple and easy-to-use program and fee-of-charge, so that I would like to introduce to you to consider.
You can download this program from their web site : http://www.skipole.net/
Bandwidth Optimization – Polycom can send 720HD at lower speeds but Tandberg can send more than CIF4CIF7201080, which I’ll take that over the lower HD speeds any day.
Central Admin – Tandbery is great for admin (if you have several hundred end-point, you definitely choose Tandbery. Polycom was beta and their provisioning wasn’t ready yet.
End User Usability – This is real close and I give favor to Polycom.
Reliability/Maintenance – I once had some one tell me Polycom is like Mircosoft and Tandberg is like Cisco. Polycom looks good but has bugs while Tandberg might not be as flashy but is rock solid. I’d pick Tandberg.
Cost – if you could compare apples to apples they’d be close but looking at just the bottom line Polycom is the winner.
Conclusion: If you have only a few connection VC points and have a loose network control (e.g. not using Cisco device), I suggest to use Polycom because it is easy to setup. For company with many VC end-points (say > 50), I will prefer to choose Tandberg which is more security and easy to manage.
Networks are becoming critical components of business success – irrespective of
whether you are small or BIG. When network fails, customers and employees cannot
communicate, employees cannot access critical information or use basic print or email
services, resulting in productivity loss and revenue loss. Network monitoring software
tools reduce network outages and allow businesses to operate more fluently, cut costs,
and prevent revenue loss. And for those who are small and are not allowed to think of a
budget for network monitoring software, a better alternative is to start with open source
and freeware network monitoring software that reduce the time and money spent on
network administration and management. This paper talks about the top freeware and
open source network monitoring software available today.

Recently, I purchased a WatchGuard XTM515 Firewall for our company usage. Its price is lower than CISCO and Juniper, but higher than Zyxel and Huawei. So far, WatchGuard is very stable and easy to use. I configured it as the following screen dump for your reference. As a conclusion, I will recommend WatchGuard XTM515 Firewall you.

防火墙是电脑网络的重要设备，可以监控和保障网络的通讯，确保资讯流通的效率和安全，这设备已是现今必不可少的工具。
约於十月中开始，本工厂的防火墙设备运作不稳定，连接外网经常断线，影响员工的上网，可是重新启动防火墙後便回复正常。以前每个月需要重启防火墙一至二次，现时每天也有机会需要重启，这可能是因为防火墙设备老化，所以本部建议更换防火墙设备。 Read More

In an enterprise network, there are various types of traffic. But most of the company’s Internet bandwidth is limited. All traffic will contend for it and may result in some important traffic, such as traffic getting slow or even starved. Therefore, intelligent bandwidth management for improved productivity becomes a matter of high concern for network administrators. To protect our network security, I am now using a Zywall USG 300 Firewall because its price is good and its performance is acceptable. I summarize its configuration in this document for your reference. Read More
