I attended the SAP for Utilities conference in San Antonio Tx this year and while there SAP’s Russel Boyer gave me a compelling demo of a Smart Grid in action. I asked him if would do it again for the camera and he generously obliged.

We got together with Marilyn Pratt from SAP, Linda Bortolus, also from SAP and Jim Spath from Black & Decker at the SAP TechEd 08 conference in Berlin. We discussed corporate social responsibility (CSR), global risk and compliance (GRC) and sustainability. The discussion was led by RedMonk/GreenMonk co-founder James Governor.

Michael gives us an overview of ZipTie, including it's origin and how it ties into AlterPoint's commercial product, Network Authority. Ryan then jumps in to show us the initial discovery, admin setup, and poking around in the resulting inventory.
Background: A little while ago, I sat down with ZipTie's Michael Nels and Ryan Kruse for a detailed demo of ZipTie, the open source network inventory and configuration management tool. That is, ZipTie scans all the devices on your network, figures out what they are, what's running on them, and then gives you the ability to backup and change the network-oriented configuration for each device (it doesn't dip into the application layer, for example, configuring Exchange).
