Jahidur Rahman, one of the students in the Network and System Administration Masters degree program needs input from experienced system administrators as part of his thesis research. Please consider taking a very few minutes to respond to his brief survey (link below). Thanks from him and me in advance.
While I'm certain that it's a typo, I love the idea of a "Configuration Management Toll" (and suspect that anybody that uses them feels the same way ;>). That said, I'm a tad puzzled by having to select a single configuration management product, especially gven the range of products presented, which cover both servers and networks. IME, it's pretty rare to only have one configuration management tool in house -- and even less common to use the same tool (rather than related tools or different tools) for both systems and networks, when dealing with even modest degrees of scale. Beyond that, I'd strongly suggest that it's important to include some sort of information about the number of servers and or networking devices being managed -- scalability is related, but not necessarily the same thing (I can cheerfully say that a given product scales into the hundreds of thousands, while at a site that has a grand total of 20 servers and 2 networking devices). cheers! ========================================================================== "A cat spends her life conflicted between a deep, passionate and profound desire for fish and an equally deep, passionate and profound desire to avoid getting wet.
