By Eric Volkman, The Motley Fool

Filed under:

Basic Energy Services President and CEO Ken Huseman will leave the company at the end of 2013 to enter retirement. He is to be replaced by Roe Patterson, currently the chief operating officer and a senior vice president at the firm. Patterson is to ascend to the CEO post “on or about” next Jan. 1, BES said in a press release.

Huseman has been the company’s CEO for more than 14 years. His replacement is also a veteran BES executive; Patterson joined the company in 2006 and advanced through the ranks to become COO in March 2011. Immediately previous to his time at BES, he served as president of manufacturing and oilfield service concern TMP Companies.

Server Monitoring Suggestions

By Phylum

Hi all – newb here.

We’re a Windows shop and I’m looking for something [free] that I could stand up to monitor various aspects of our servers. I’m specifically looking for something that can:

  1. verify that servers are up [& responding]
  2. verify services are up [& responding]
  3. verify remote sites are up/accessible
  4. monitor CPU & memory (warn when its above X% sustained for Y mins etc)
  5. monitor latency between this site and the remote site
  6. monitor disk usage (e.g.: warning when its down to 10% etc.)
  7. monitor things like disk queue length (like performance monitor)
  8. monitor exchange specific things like number of mailboxes left to crawl, oustanding batches & outstanding documents to index (again, like performance monitor)
  9. monitor other things like IIS, BES, Lotus Notes, DFS, IronPort – custom services etc

I’m hoping for some sort of nifty frontend that others could have up on monitor/projector to keep an eye on general health & maybe highlight ‘problem’ areas.

I don’t know, but, I suspect I’ll need something like Nagios, SmokePing and/or Edoceo to tackle this. Since I have 0 experience with any of these, I figured checking with the community first might be best.

Many thanks!

RIM's mobile management software supports iOS, Android

BlackBerry maker Research In Motion has announced new mobile management software that adds support for Apple and Android devices, but analysts say time will tell if the company’s new emphasis on bring-your-own-device (BYOD) will succeed.

RIM announced BlackBerry Enterprise Server 10 (BES 10) is available to download as of today. The product combines mobile device management (MDM), mobile application management and mobile security. Unlike previous versions, BES 10 enables BYOD with support for Android and iOS devices in addition to BlackBerry.

The decision to support non-BlackBerry devices “was really driven by our customers,” RIM senior director of enterprise product management, Jeff Holleran, told Computerworld Australia.
