When working with a smaller remotely located network, is your preference to install a server on that network for monitoring and such, or to just tunnel back to your main location for monitoring?
I've got two remotely located networks with space-restricted sites where I could install a shallow rack-mount server for some simple VMs. Specifically, One site is restricted to about 20" deep and 4U, and another restricted to about 12" deep and 1U. I wouldn't need much processing power, so some older servers could be sufficient. I'm debating whether to go through the effort of finding and setting up small servers to do monitoring, RADIUS, etc directly on the network, or to just continue using my main location with tunnels. Any suggestions are welcome.
