Monitoring servers today – one of the major components of the system administrator or IT manager. And the bigger the company, the more customers it serves, the more numerous staff, the monitoring more critical servers in your organization. Although it should be noted that more and more servers are used and the number of computers with the company less than five or ten. Server equipment is designed to operate 24 hours 7 days a week, 365 days a year. Can not stop it, because it can disrupt the entire process, or result in data loss. But machines do not last forever, and they are failures. This implies the need for continuous monitoring of servers: the work of his services, applications, services, etc. What is monitored? First let's define the concept.

Monitoring – methods and system of observations on a particular object or process that provides an opportunity to observe their development and work, evaluate, quickly identify the effects of various external and internal factors. The monitoring results provide an opportunity to make adjustments to manage the object or process. What gives continuous monitoring of the servers? 1. System administrators will learn about the problem before it becomes available or as soon as it arises. In this case, the IT manager will not have to hear complaints from irate members of the inaccessibility required to operate the services can not contact the database, etc. Monitoring Server in this case reduces to a minimum reaction time sysadmin and system downtime, and therefore the company.

2. System administrator or head of IT department (if the company is large enough) can one look to assess the state of the IT structure as a whole or its individual parts in detail. 3. If your problem server monitoring helps to understand what caused the crash, and that – only its consequences. It also reduces the time resolve the problem to a minimum. In addition, the monitoring server can detect the current problems, and thus forestall or to prevent possible malfunction. Today the market of software you can find many solutions that make the process as automated server monitoring and less costly in financial point of view. The work program for monitoring network requires little or no interference of any kind of system administrator. Enough to configure certain checks, their frequency, methods of notification system administrator when certain failures or problems, or the program's response to specific monitoring results, such as: service restart, running external programs with parameters, etc. – And you can safely do other pressing matters. Server monitoring will be done 24 hours 7 days a week, the average person is, of course, will not be able to carry out. This means that the server and the system as a whole will be under constant and unremitting supervision and control. Server can be called a "brain" of the organization. They serve as a repository of critical information, ensure the "mental" work of the company, the relationship of different organs of the organization among themselves and unite them in a single organism. If the server stops functioning, the work of the organization can stand still. Server monitoring helps to avoid this problem, allowing to detect faults at an early stage and fix them in time, and can be prevented. A goal of the program for monitoring servers and networks in general – to make the process less expensive and more effective by a wide range of servers, and continuous inspections of its work.

Linux – without exaggeration, one of the most controversial to date operating systems. Before you opt for this operating system, you must consider all the pros and cons and we now try to detail and consistently addressed. Let's start with the pluses: The first and best of all benefit – Linux is completely free and requires no additional fee for the entire period of work with it. Also, there is no need for any kind of registration. Second.

Almost all software Linux – software open source, which means a huge number of advantages, starting with the fact that it can be used free of charge and ending with his ability to change code on your own. Third. In Linux, security is much higher than, for example, in Windows. Here and say nothing, he is working after the first day of active use, will show a high level. Another important advantage is stable operation, which is completely superior to most existing operating systems. Sadly enough and disadvantages. Number of games for Linux for several tens of times smaller than on Windows, and the number of programs, high Quality you can count on your fingers.

And with other applications, this situation is not better. If the programs for a wide audience is and remove any problems, then something very specialized programs like 3D Studio Max for Linux, you can not be found. Although this is more a matter of time. Many Windows applications can run on Linux, using special tools. The final flaw in Linux, it is difficult to learn the operating system. Most operations that Windows is done for you in the operating system you are done manually. You've probably guessed, this is not the pros and cons of Linux. Only you can appreciate the beauty and wealth of the operating system.

Since the introduction of the first Windows and to this day many users to manifest their discontent on various issues related to the OS. Particularly scathing puns got emitted by all 'Cell' 'Vista'. Of course, in every joke there is only a fraction of a joke, and all the rest – the truth. But the talk – no bags, roll and create their own stable and productive assembly of the operating system can not every 'nihilist'. being for or against this. WAIK Microsoft often nipped in the bud any attempt to change the default configuration of 'Windows xp'. Well, I do not like it when 'digging' in the guts of its products. As it turned out, a soft-giant could not resist the onslaught of curious users and with the advent of the sixth OSes released Automated Installation Kit WAIK (Windows Automated Installation Kit, 756.8 MB). The basis of 'small soft' design is a Microsoft Windows Preinstallation Environment (WindowsPE) – the operating system with minimal configuration.

Features They include help with setting 'windows', and start your computer without OS, editing, partition the hard drive and formatting. All kinds of software, reducing the operating systems on laptops (of which later) to work with the Windows Automated Installation of office, Bill Gates. In turn, WPE entirely relies on the possibility of a console utility ImageX, working with image files. Wim (windows image), and Windows Deployment Services (WDS) – Service centralized deployment, helping over a LAN to install on multiple computers. An important part of creating your own 'sash' is the application Windows System Image Manager (WSIM), responsible for the creation response file format.

Then there are the system recovery, and firewall, and other pleasant things. The security system has been refined, but a stable system call was not. Significantly changed the situation and not SP1. It was only with ServicePack 2 OS release was full. But, apparently due to the hurried development, Windows XP was carrying a huge number of vulnerabilities.

Among them were inherited from Windows 2000 (Error in NTVDM and others), and their own. Due to the wide dissemination and XP its "leaky" in the network began to appear a lot of malware that even wrote a 15-year-olds (note that the lion's share of these programs worked only with Windows XP because of it unique to the "holes"). Now there is a SP3 for this OS. Typically, Windows XP SP3 is also possible to see installed at different terminals. On the latest generation of Microsoft operating systems can be seen in Windows Vista. What catches the eye at first glance.

Personally, I was struck by the apparent redundancy in the GUI. Standard user interface of Windows XP is enough. At the same time quite demanding Vista system resources. It is desirable to have a processor with a frequency of 1-1.4 GHz and 512 MB RAM (and minimum). Yes system thoroughly reworked: new boot, an updated kernel, new security techniques. But whether all this? I like to boot the old Windows 2000/XP, options which you can edit only one change file (boot.ini). In Vista, there is a separate utility to edit the database loader (yes, the database). Upgrading the kernel is undoubtedly useful for the system as a whole (in the linux kernel is updated regularly), but Vista refused to perform some very Useful software written for earlier versions of Windows. Vista security too far from the mark – some operating system components have been tampered with or prior to its official release, or immediately afterwards. Windows 7 is a continuation of Vista, but carefully revised and optimized. In fact, Windows Vista in the market has failed. Members or refuse to pass on it with XP, or tolerate it because of the lack of drivers for their hardware for earlier versions of Windows (typical for notebooks). Before the official release of Windows 7 remains very little and hope that this time hopes were not in vain. In this article, were not considered many things, the implementation of file systems, network protocols, policies security, encryption tools, and more. All this is put into the framework of one article is impossible, but in detail these and other questions must be considered. All the facts set forth above is true and not someone else's fiction. All the products were compared on several criteria, however, cover all aspects we can not. Therefore, some advantages and disadvantages of Windows have been intentionally omitted. I must say that to draw objective conclusions quite difficult, and hence the result also reflects the personal opinions of the author in one way or another.
