Easily Report on Cloud Applications, Servers and Services

1. Are you experimenting with cloud infrastructure and cloud applications? How are you Monitoring them?

2. Need to monitor public clouds (like Amazon EC2, Google, Apps, etc)? up.time makes it easy.

When You Start Experimenting with Cloud, up.time Has You Covered

• Know what to migrate into the cloud first: Quickly identify candidates for the cloud with detailed deep (and relevant) historical performance metrics that profile workloads in physical and virtual environments. Then easily monitor cloud platforms (EC2) and applications from inside the cloud.
• Easily monitor and manage cloud, virtual, and physical with a single tool: Cloud monitoring (Amazon EC2), virtual server monitoring (VMware, etc), physical server monitoring (Windows, Solaris, AIX, HP-UX, Linux, Novell NetWare) from a single console. Multiple datacenters, virtualized applications, and cloud-based applications.
• Too many tools? Eliminate point tool and integration headaches. up.time meets current and future tool needs for physical, virtual and cloud monitoring and management.
• Build automation that makes scaling up and problem solving simple: Management and monitoring tools need to understand how applications change over time and must trigger workflows to deal with changing workloads. up.time can automatically spin up and monitor virtual or cloud instances to meet capacity demands.
• Drive SLAs, regardless of virtual, physical or cloud environment: up.time understands the SLA dependencies between applications across physical, virtual and cloud environments. Quickly identify breakdowns in infrastructure and immediately see how they affect the SLAs.
• Isolate problems quickly: Intelligent alerting eliminates "sea of red," and offers fast root-cause detection and automated actions to stop recurring outages. Customize alerting so only the right person gets the right alert at the right time.
• Affordable licensing: Complete application and server monitoring. No tiers or management packs and free lifetime upgrades with support. Just count your physical servers (even in virtual and cloud environments!). Installs in minutes; deploys in less than 1 day. Over 700 enterprise customers in 32 countries agree.

Cloud Flare ++ It'll supercharge your website.

█ Cloud Flare?

CloudFlare is a FREE system that acts as a proxy between you and our server. By acting as a proxy, CloudFlare caches static content from the site, which lowers the number of requests to the server, but still allows you to access the site. There are several advantages of the CloudFlare system which are answered below. Cloudflare (like explained above) acts as a proxy to speed up and make it less "heavy" on traffic to the VPS, which means acting like a proxy through the DNS, DDoS attacks are easily diverted keeping the site and forum chugging along nicely.

CloudFlare has just announced that they happened to pick up a cool $20 million in investment last November. Almost a 1000% increase on funds raised in 2009, proving that someone thinks they’re on to something. And Qwerty.ie couldn’t agree more, that’s why we already use CloudFlare!

For those that haven’t heard of CloudFlare yet (the emphasis being on the yet), it provides a distributed network that creates a community environment to help protect your website and all other members within the network. Information about unwanted traffic is shared which means if one website is attacked then that attack can quickly be blocked from accessing everyone in CloudFlare! It’s added security for your website. As if that wasn’t enough, CloudFlare will distribute your website across the network, making it practically indestructible (please do not test this on Qwerty.ie!). Your website will be faster and use less bandwidth.

CloudFlare and W3 Total Cache WordPress Integration

CloudFlare protects and accelerates any website online. Once your website is a part of the CloudFlare community, its web traffic is routed through our intelligent global network. We automatically optimize the delivery of your web pages so your visitors get the fastest page load times and best performance. We also block threats and limit abusive bots and crawlers from wasting your bandwidth and server resources. The result: CloudFlare-powered websites see a significant improvement in performance and a decrease in spam and other attacks.

CloudFlare’s system gets faster and smarter as our community of users grows larger. We have designed the system to scale with our goal in mind: helping power and protect the entire Internet.

CloudFlare can be used by anyone with a website and their own domain, regardless of your choice in platform. From start to finish, setup takes most website owners less than 5 minutes. Adding your website requires only a simple change to your domain’s DNS settings. There is no hardware or software to install or maintain and you do not need to change any of your site’s existing code. If you are ever unhappy you can turn CloudFlare off as easily as you turned it on. Our core service is free and we offer enhanced services for websites who need extra features like real time reporting or SSL.

To get straight to the point of using CloudFlare, here are the advantages:

• Your website will loads twice as fast
• Your website will uses 60% less bandwidth
• Your website will have 65% fewer requests
• Your website will be way more secure

And all this is for free!

Microsoft Outlook - How to Backup and Restore an archive data.

Copy all items from an archived location

You don't have to use a backup tool to save your data. Instead, you can copy the PST file and save it elsewhere. Find your PST file by doing the following:

1 Go to Account Settings from the Tools menu.
2 Select the Data Files tab and double-click the Personal Folder you wish to backup.
3 Put your cursor into the Filename box, click the box twice to highlight the line and Ctrl+C to copy it.
4 Right-click the Start button and select Explore.
5 Put your cursor into the folder location box and press Ctrl+V to paste the location of the personal folders file.
6 Delete the PST file name (Outlook.pst, for example) and press Enter to find the PST file.
7 Save the file to a network drive or online storage Web site.

To restore the data, do the following:

1 Locate the backup copy of the PST file. Right-click the file and choose Copy.
2 Right-click Start and select Explore.
3 Find the folder where the original PST file lives (default C:\Users\[your user name]\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Outlook\Outlook.pst) and press Ctrl+V to paste the file.
4 Open Outlook to confirm the data appears.

Archive Data

While it's nice to have e-mail messages available when you need them, having too many affects performance. Professional organizers advise getting rid of things you haven't touched in over a year. Archive items that you haven't opened in a year or two. At least, you can always get them later if a time comes when you need them. Rather than having to do the cleaning, let AutoArchive do the dirty work.

Use AutoArchive to automatically move important but infrequently used items to an archive file and to permanently delete expired items. The following is the default location and name for the archive file:

C:\Documents and Settings\[your user name]\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook\Archive.pst

Archived items appear in the Archives Folder in the Outlook Folder List located in the Navigation Pane.

You may want to backup the archive file the same way as you backup the PST file. Recovering a PST file alone won't recover your archived file. Consider backing up both files at the same time.

You can manually archive items whenever you want by doing the following:

1 Select Archives from the File menu.
2 Select whether to archive folders according to AutoArchive settings or select the folders and subfolders to archive.
3 Select the date for archiving items, and click OK.

You can change the settings for AutoArchives using the following steps:

1 Select Options from the Tools menu.
2 Select the Other tab and click AutoArchive.
3 Modify the AutoArchive options to suit your needs and click OK twice to close the windows.

You can turn off AutoArchive to prevent it from running on all folders. Return to AutoArchives options and uncheck the box next to "Run AutoArchive every n days."

You may have folders with items that should stay in your Personal Folders instead of moving into the Archives Folder. To modify Outlook to skip archiving a folder, do the following:

1 Right-click the folder and select Properties.
2 Select the AutoArchive tab.
3 Select Do not archive items in this folder and click OK
