Configuring Zabbix for monitoring access points and Keenetic routers

If your company uses Zabbix for infrastructure monitoring, you can integrate Keenetic routers and access points into this platform by following our instructions. This greatly facilitates network maintenance and incident investigation. In all cases when I came across the use of Keenetic in business, none of the owners set up means of active monitoring of these devices, even if there were two or three dozen access points. There can be many reasons for this, ranging from banal laziness and lack ...

SSD Crucial P5 Plus 1TB review: testing by office workloads

This drive is interesting because it supports PCI Express 4.0 bus, has 1 GB of onboard LPDDR4 memory, has a built-in APST power saving system, a new 8-channel 6-core DM02A controller.1 and 176-layer Micron 3D TLC memory. For workloads, it also matters that the drive is protected from data loss in case of a sudden power outage at the time of recording, which is achieved by data recording algorithms, and not by adding super capacitors, as in some server models. Micron is one of the few ...

Adata Falcon plus Goodram PX500 - testing RAID from cheap NVME drives

What happens if you take two NVME disks: one faster, the other slower, and build a simple RAID from them? Will a faster SSD be able to pull off the speed of a slower one? We will check in working office loads. In general, if we look at hard drives from the point of view of performance, then everything is simple and clear, and even the slow "green" models at 5400 RPM do not differ much from the server ones at 10 and 15 thousand RPM, unless of course the manufacturer is clever with ...

Testing of SSD Adata Gammix S50 Lite 1Tb by server and workstation loads

Almost today, even budget SSDs for gaming computers can be installed in a working computer or server, and this will not entail any disadvantages compared to Pro-models, but even on the contrary-it will give advantages in speed and reliability. The response time in the SQL pattern for this model is less than 1 ms, which is typical for very expensive storage systems, and the resource and warranty are the same as for top-end branded drives. Some time ago, SSD drives for the professional sector ...
