SolarWinds IP Control Bundle

• Paid

The SolarWinds IP Control Bundle is a lovely piece software designed to make network IP conflicts a thing of the past. In the network administration world, IP (Internet Protocol) conflicts can be a frustrating and head wrecking process, causing blood pressures to rise, and strong words to be exchanged. While IP conflicts generally aren’t an issue for small orhome networks, in business, there can be literally thousands of different networked devices with modems, servers, phones, computers, switches, and printers all needing specific IP addresses, on the one network. IP conflicts between just 2 single devices on a Network can cause downtime, and interfere with critical business systems. The SolarWinds IP control Bundle does an awful lot of work to make such issues history, and turn all of the above problems to nothing more than annoying little niggles. The ‘Bundle’ includes the integration of the SolarWinds IP Address Manager (IPAM) and the SolarWinds User Device Tracker (UDT). This allows for a comprehensive two-step resolution of IP conflicts. The SolarWinds IP Control Bundle automatically detects IP conflicts and gives admins the exact MAC address at the root of the problem. The UDT can also locate the where the offending device is located, and that same software can be used the IT admins to shut down the offending port and isolate the device from the network. What’s even better is that the SolarWinds Bundle can fix the conflict by using the DHCP protocols to assign the device in conflict a free address, solving the issue remotely, and saving time spent under a desk switching network cards around. Key Features: Automatic IP conflict detection. IP address and Mac Address identification. Easy location finding of conflict devices. UDT remote use to shut down ports and isolate from networks. DHCP allocation of unused network addresses to solve IP conflict issues. Good support from designers. SolarWinds is something of a must for IT departments, especially in one where employees start loading their own personal devices onto networks. Again, this normally isn’t too much of an issue in a single floor office, but when used on a company network of thousands, it can save invaluable time, and perhaps most crucially, a lot of money.

Yuinotes

• Free

We like YuiNotes. We just do. YuiNotes is essentially a post-it notes app for Windows that lets you pin post-it note like notes to your desktop. It’s a bit like the one that comes with the current version of Windows as standard, but with a little bit more functionality and utility. YuiNotes is easy to use and can be mastered in a matter of seconds. The interface is intuitive and pretty much self explanatory. It’s a really good tool for the criminally disorganised or for people who like to have lots of notes that they can recall, hide and dismiss at the click of a button. Users can select different color post-its for different topics, and the choice is expansive. The size of individual notes can also be individually set and the capture function allows you to create a post it note out of a webpage or any software you are using. Users can also search for specific words or references within individual post-its using the Ctrl+f key binding. A particularly nice touch is the alarm/reminder settings you can set for your notes as well. This mean you can create a note, minimise it and not have it reappear until the alarm pings. You can also backup all your notes to whatever media you want. YuiNotes also now supports and works seamlessly with DropBox. As long as you have a DropBox account, all notes will be automatically backed to DropBox, meaning not only are they securely stored but can also be accessed from other devices.

Ellp

• Free

Managing your mobile devices, apps and computers, and the multitudes of tasks that they run, can become a tad irksome. With numerous social media accounts, various computer devices and monotonous tasks to keep track of, it can become time consuming to ensure everything does what it should do, when it should do it. Automation tools can help greatly in this regard. Ellp is one such app that is very easy to use and can be configured in only a few moments. Ellp empowers you to set your own rules and easily automate a vast number of day-to-day device tasks. Ellp is founded on the ‘if-this-then-that’ concept, which is applied mainly to connected apps. It uses simple logic to run automation tasks that are specifically carried out on your array of devices. Ellp can be configured to run tasks such as automatically saving your tagged Facebook photos to a preferred folder, or notifying you when you download the same file multiple times. It can even be configured to open up YouTube each time you plug in your headphones! With Ellp the possibilities are (nearly) endless. Ellp uses a card system to run and automate tasks. Cards are simple rules that govern a device’s behavior. For example, a card may say ‘at dawn, mute the sound.’ This allows you to specify a particular time which your device is scheduled to switch off its speakers. Cards can be set for a number of automation tasks, such as opening a website when you turn on your computer, or open a specific music player or website each time you plug in your headphones, etc. The card layouts make it simple to identify its task at-a-glance. Cards are sorted into categories, which cover general subjects such as power use, storage, performance, and security. Setting up cards is straightforward and as soon as you have configured your cards in each category, you are all set. Cards can be switched off, if you would rather manage the task manually, and tasks can be altered at any time you choose. Overall, Ellp is a clean looking and attractive app that is very easy to use. It is a new take on the device management/automation concept, which it pulls off rather well. Ellp is lightweight, consumes hardly any system resources, and it has a number of categories, which can be configured just the way your like things done, therefore saving you minutes, if not hours, of time.
