On December 26, 2012, the Eleventh Circuit issued a ruling that strengthens defenses to "protected activity" in FLSA retaliation actions. Miller v. Roche Surety & Casualty Co., Inc., No. 12-cv-10259 (11th Cir. Dec. 26, 2012) (unpublished). In particular, this decision shields employers in situations where employees make vague, unclear and/or ambiguous statements that they later attempt to characterize as protected activity in litigation.
Danielle Miller sued her former employer, Roche Surety & Casualty Co., Inc. (the Company), alleging she was discharged in violation of the FLSA anti-retaliation provision (29 U.S.C. 215(a)(3)) for her purported complaint that she was not provided a time and place to express breast milk (29 U.S.C. 215(a)(3) requires employers to provide breaks in private areas, other than bathrooms, for employees to express breast milk). More specifically, during trial before the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida, Miller testified that she engaged in protected activity by: e-mailing her supervisor requesting a time and place to express breast milk; and e-mailing her friends and family about her need to express breast milk, asserting that the Company monitored her e-mails.
Yet, Miller admitted at trial that: she was free to take breaks to express breast milk as needed; she never was criticized for taking such a break; and she had access to a private place to express breast milk (nearby vacant offices were available to her as a private location), although she preferred to use her office. Moreover, Miller did not inform any supervisor that she would be expressing breast milk in her office, nor did she request a different location to do so. And she never showed the e-mails that she sent to her friends and family to anyone at the Company. Accordingly, the district court granted the Company judgment as a matter of law.
Eleventh Circuits Ruling
The Eleventh Circuit began its review by reiterating that filing … a complaint under the FLSA is statutorily protected activity, citing Kasten v. St. Gobain Performance Plastics Corp., ___ U.S. ___, 131 S.Ct. 1325, 1330-31 (2011). It then analyzed Millers argument that she filed a complaint within the meaning of Section 215(a)(3) when she e-mailed her supervisor requesting a time and place to express breast milk, as well as the Companys response that her e-mail does not amount to the filing of a complaint under the FLSA. The Eleventh Circuit explained that:
Although the filing of a complaint under 215(a)(3) need not be in the form of an official complaint or even be in writing, some degree of formality is required in order that the employer has fair notice that an employee is lodging a grievance. This notice requirement is essential because an employer who does not (or should not) know an employee has made a complaint could not discriminate because of that complaint. In keeping with this idea, the complaint must be sufficiently clear and detailed so that a reasonable employer, considering the context and content, can understand that an employee is asserting rights provided by the FLSA and calling for the protection of those rights.
Although the filing of a complaint under 215(a)(3) need not be in the form of an official complaint or even be in writing, some degree of formality is required in order that the employer has fair notice that an employee is lodging a grievance. This notice requirement is essential because an employer who does not (or should not) know an employee has made a complaint could not discriminate because of that complaint. In keeping with this idea, the complaint must be sufficiently clear and detailed so that a reasonable employer, considering the context and content, can understand that an employee is asserting rights provided by the FLSA and calling for the protection of those rights.
(citations omitted; emphasis in original).
Applying this rationale to the evidentiary record, the Eleventh Circuit concluded that neither the context nor content of Millers e-mail put [the Company] on notice that she was lodging a grievance. It stressed that, before sending her e-mail to her supervisor, Miller had never requested or been denied a time or place to express breast milk, she was given breaks without question or criticism, she decided to express breast milk in her office without notifying any supervisors, and she did not complain or request a different location. In addition, the Eleventh Circuit rejected Millers argument that her e-mails to her friends and family were tantamount to filing a complaint under 215(a)(3), as she asserted that the Company monitored her e-mails. In this regard, it noted that she never showed the e-mails to anyone at the Company or told anyone at the Company that she believed the FLSA was violated. Likewise, it found that the content of her e-mails would not have alerted the Company to any alleged violation of the law. In sum, the Eleventh Circuit concluded that Millers e-mails would not have appraised a reasonable employer that a complaint had been filed and thus do not rise to the level of a complaint under 215(a)(3). Accordingly, the Eleventh Circuit affirmed the district courts judgment.
This decision is useful to employers saddled with retaliation litigation where the communication the employee points to as his or her protected activity is vague, ambiguous or indefinite, or where (as in this case) the communications simply cannot be construed as a "complaint." When this decision is reviewed in connection with the Seventh Circuits November 30, 2012 decision in Kasten v. Saint-Gobain Performance Plastics Corp., No. 12-cv-1671, 2012 U.S. App. LEXIS 24624 (7th Cir. Nov. 30, 2012) (which was the subject of our recent post), employers now have some helpful guidance as to how to strategically analyze whether an employee engaged in protected activity under the FLSA.

Pneumocystis carinii (PC) pneumonia remains a serious complication of HIV infection and other immunocompromised states including patients undergoing chemotherapy and solid organ transplant recipients. In the setting of HIV infection there is a well-known inverse relationship between CD4+ lymphocyte count and the risk of both PC infection and bacterial pneumonia. In the last funding period we have defined the effector T-cell lineages required for the protection against PCP as well as developed molecular adjuvants using gene products expressed by CD4+ T-cells to investigate whether these molecules could proyide B cell help in the absence of peripheral CD4+ lymphocytes. Using DNA vaccination with an immunodominant antigen identified in the last funding cycle, KEX1, we have screened IFNg (Thi), lL-4 (Th2), IL-17 and IL-21 (Thi 7) as well as CD40L (expressed on activated T-cells) to elicit anti-PC antibody responses, and protection against PCP in CD4-depleted mice. Among these molecules, CD40L was the most effective on eliciting antigen specific IgGi and lgG2a responses in CD4 depleted mice when incorporated in the DNA vaccine platform. We have developed a prime boost vaccination platform that demonstrates efficacy against PC in CD4-depleted mice a codon optimized immunodominant antigen from PC, miniKexin, and CD40L as a molecular adjuvant. Both components were required for vaccine efficacy in the setting of CD4 deficiency. These results lead us to hypothesize that activation of CD40 signaling in vivo, and vaccination with miniKexin can result in antigen specific immune responses and mucosal boosting can provide effective vaccination against PCP in the absence of CD4+ T-cells.
Aim 1 : If our hypothesis is correct then co-administration of CD40L with mini-Kexin vaccination will result in a CD4 independent humoral response and protection against PC in vivo.
Aim 2 : Our hypothesis also predicts that this strategy requires endogenous IL-23 and IL-21, and results in durable vaccine responses in both CD4+ T-cell deficient mice and CD40L knockout mice.
Aim 3 : Test the hypothesis that CD41ND pathogen specific immune responses against P. carinii kexin can be generated in an SIV model of immunodeficiency in macaques.
PCP remains a persistent and frequent complicafion of HIV and other immunosuppressive illnesses. The goal of this project is to develop therapeutic vaccine strategies to prevent this disease in immunocompromised hosts.

Son of Concorde? Great-great-grandchild, more like, given that the original supersonic airliner was based on 1950s technology, and the Zehst is not scheduled to rip through the skies until a century later. But even if you are confident that you will be alive, wealthy and inclined to foreign travel in 2050, don't bet on stepping on board.
The Anglo-French Concorde was a hyper-expensive misadventure. BA could not make the sums add up, so the plane flew into glorious oblivion eight years ago.
Speed is seductive. But a far cheaper and more pragmatic solution is to enhance the journey, with on-board Wi-Fi or innovative high-density-business-class configurations that can put flat-bed comfort within reach of travellers like you or me. That is the real cutting edge of air travel.

text: Posted March 14, 2004 I've been around the block too many times to become overly confident about press interviews revealing the truth, but the following remarks from Christopher Stowell regarding his possible replacement of his parents at PNB are what I needed to hear. Any OBT fan who has been watching his remarkable beginning as an AD here has got to be a little nervous about PNB cherry-picking him from us. Sounds like he's not for the picking. Phew! (For now...) Christopher danced with San Francisco Ballet and was recently named artistic director of OBT. Would he want to succeed his parents, if chosen? Anything is possible, but it doesn't sound likely. "I don't envy the person to follow them," he says. "I now understand how difficult their work has been and how many pitfalls there are. Whoever comes next will have to have perseverance and insistence on the highest quality. My parents' ability to build incredible loyalty in their company has meant that they get lifetime commitment from people, many of them working for them for 27 years. "Right now, I feel a tremendous commitment to OBT. I have a much better situation than my parents initially faced in Seattle, but I have the chance to do much the same thing in building a company. Portland is ripe for cultural growth, and it's exciting to be a part of it. "It'd be dangerous to consider a ballet company as a family business. This would be a great opportunity for anyone, but the expectations are going to be very high." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's basically the only way to describe the final segment of Monday's show. Just wow. Let's get right to it.
The Hounds of Justice are no more.
After running roughshod over the WWE since their Survivor Series debut over a year and a half ago, the Shield have finally been broken up thanks to Seth Rollins. For months, people have been discussing the possible Shield break-up, and WWE played it perfectly by splitting the faction on a high-note, when fans least expected it.
The Shield had just beaten Evolution the previous night at Payback in a clean sweep. They were battered and beaten, but coming off of a victory ready to propel the faction to one of the all-time elites.
And then they weren't.
As the Shield waited for Triple H and Randy Orton to make their way to the ring, Rollins blasted Roman Reigns and Dean Ambrose with chair shot after chair shot, executing one of the best heel turns and swerves we've seen from the company in years.
The shock in Ambrose's face perfectly explains how we all felt watching Rollins' actions unfold.
Fans everywhere had to be sick to their stomach as one of the best factions in recent memory dissolved in front of our eyes. And the worst part of it all? This.
It will be interesting to see where the angle goes next, Rollins is now in a position to really excel as a heel, and his impressive skill set is a great addition to Evolution. This could be a watershed moment for the newest member of Evolution, Rollins has an opportunity to really propel his career moving forward.
Will the Shield recruit a new third member? Will Reigns and Ambrose be able to stick together? So many questions and so much interest after one of the best show endings in years. This was seriously some great television that will have the wrestling world talking all week long.
Bluetista goes bye-bye.
While the show ended with Evolution standing tall with its newest member, Raw began with the group losing their powerhouse. Bluetista aka Boo-tista aka Batista, took issue with Evolution's constant focus on the Shield and complained about never getting the title shot he was promised.
Batista went on to demand a title match on Raw, despite Daniel Bryan's inability to compete, and when he didn't get what he wanted, chose to quit rather than deal with what he called lies and empty promises.
Daniel Bryan v. Kane, Round 324
In a program that has seemingly been going on for years and years, Daniel Bryan will once again face former-tag partner Kane in a WWE World Heavyweight Title match at the upcoming Money in the Bank. Stephanie McMahon made the announcement while berating Bryan for allowing his wife to sacrifice her career to save his title.
McMahon then made a potentially huge announcement, letting fans know that if Bryan was unable to compete against Kane at the pay-per-view, the Money in the Bank ladder match would be for the title!
Cena on a collision course with the Authority?
One interesting moment was John Cena interrupting Stephanie's degrading of Bryan, saying that the champ proves himself every time he goes into the ring and telling McMahon that she is letting her personal feelings get in the way of what's best for business.
To prove that the Authority gives everyone an equal opportunity, McMahon booked Cena to face Kane immediately. The Big Red Monster showed little interest in actually winning the match, getting himself disqualified and trying to tombstone Cena onto the steel steps. Super-Cena would reverse the move and hit Kane in the face with some steel steps, leaving their confrontation without a solid ending.
Money in the Bank gets its first qualifier.
The first qualifier for the MITB ladder match was a good bout between Dolph Ziggler and Alberto Del Rio. While most fans would love to see Ziggler get some shine in the match, the feeling that creative would screw it up and put ADR in overwhelmed that hope.
And well, the fans were right. Del Rio got the win and the first spot in the match, while Ziggler gets pushed further and further down the card.
It's been a long time since Raw left fans with so many questions. It's been even longer since the show went off the air with such an incredibly shocking moment. Here's hoping next weeks episode can live up to what we witnessed last night. Regardless, Raw will be must-see next Monday night.

Yeah, I think you're righ about that, Chris. I'm finding that the clumping
bamboos that will definitely survive in our zone, only have a diameter of .5".
Oh well. I may have to settle for a smaller bamboo then. I think planting a

that I won't be able to mow around.

recommend this hotel
I have probably stayed at ALoft at Vaughn Mills at least 25 different stays in the last three years, totaling about 50 nights. I no longer consider other hotels when in the Toronto Area. Although ALoft is proported to not be a "full service" hotel, their amazing staff sure make you feel that it is. The front desk people are friendly and courteous. They do things like remind you that you are entitled to a specialty beverage. They remember the rooms I like, and make sure they are ready for me...and I've never asked for that service. When I call for previous stay receipts, my requests are quickly emailed...they even know my voice. Vanessa is one I recall that is particularly hospitable and capable. Often when I checkout I get help with my bags. One particular staff, David, even hands me fruit and walks me to my car. Thank you ALoft Vaughn Mills for the amazing service. I really appreciate it.

Last week I went to pretty much the best wedding ever—seriously, how can you not love an evening that involves a super-short ceremony, a fish 'n' chips mobile van, Pimm's cups, and a first dance that featured a choreographed medley of songs like "Can't Touch This" and "I Wanna Take You to a Gay Bar"?
It also marked the first wedding in which I came face to face with…the singles table. But this was no ordinary singles table. Whereas every other table held 10 (non-single) guests apiece, my friend and I were placed at a modest four-top with two single male friends of the groom. Needless to say, I spent the first hour of the wedding dreading being stuck to some nerd, and was already polishing off my excuses: I'm seeing someone (true), I'm opposed to the condescending custom that is the singles table and will be hunger striking in protest…you get the idea.
So imagine my surprise when we were joined not by a couple Coke bottle glasses-wearing nerdbombers but two handsome, friendly, and fun guys. We managed to avoid the awkwardness of this complete set-up and jumped straight into conversation, fielding off nearby guests who tried unsuccessfully to help themselves to our large stash of wine (bonus of a small singles table: you get the same amount of booze, with fewer people to share it).
In the end, my singles table experience was a success—I may not have found a serious love match, but I did enjoy the company and some harmless flirting. What about you? Have you ever scored at the singles table? Or do you hate its forced "Loserville" reputation?

"Advance directives in an e-Health environment: South Australian preferences and Baby Boomer choices"
Sandra L Bradley,
Flinders Health Economics Unit,
Repatriation General Hospital, Flinders University
This presentation will briefly describe results from the PhD thesis of one of the FCCHCR student members, Ms Sandra Bradley. Sandra's research looked closely at the use of the online environment to facilitate advance directive completions. The research encompassed three projects: a systematic literature review on the effectiveness of computer-based, interactive online methods to enhance AD completion rates; a South Australian Health Omnibus Survey (HOS) exploring AD completion, assistance, agency, computer use and preferred means of online AD information by the South Australian population; and a randomised controlled trial of two different online mechanisms (AD education module vs email prompting) to enhance AD completions by SA Baby Boomers (b. 1946-1965).
The information in this presentation provides original detailed knowledge of AD use in South Australia and by Boomers, in particular, as well as their proclivity for using and gaining information on this subject in the online environment.

"The Impact of Limited versus Full Sleep Study Testing on Patient Outcomes and Physician Decision Making"
Dr Ching Li Chai-Coetzer,
Adelaide Institute for Sleep Health,
Repatriation General Hospital, Flinders University
Dr Chai-Coetzer will join us and discuss the results of a national study funded by the Australasian Sleep Trials Network and Repat Foundation which has involved patients from seven sleep centres throughout Australia.
Patients suspected of having (Obstructive Sleep Apnea) OSA usually undergo a full sleep study in a laboratory to confirm the diagnosis, which involves monitoring of sleep stages, breathing patterns, oxygen levels, heart rate and leg movements. Simplified sleep recording devices have been developed with fewer channels which record only breathing patterns and/or oxygen levels overnight, without recording of sleep stages. This study has assessed whether patients who receive treatment from a sleep specialist on the basis of a simplified sleep study recording will do as well, in terms of improvement in symptoms, as patients who have had a full sleep study.

"Economic evaluation and aged care:
a systematic review of economic evidence and
residential aged care models "
Tiffany Easton
PhD candidate, Flinders University
In Australia, residential aged care is a $17.0 billion industry. Given the ageing of the population and the substantial amount of current and projected future funding for residential aged care, evidence is needed to support decision makers in making the best use of available resources to support optimal care models in relation to cost and quality processes & outcomes. However, little is currently known about the comprehensiveness (or otherwise) of the available cost-effectiveness evidence in residential aged care. This presentation will report upon a study aimed to systematically review economic evaluations in residential aged care. The findings indicate that despite the high cost of providing care to older people living in residential aged care, there is a current shortage of robust economic evidence on the impact of alternative service configurations. With an aging population and rapidly increasing rates of dementia in an environment of increasing resource constraints, rigorous economic evaluations of residential aged care models are needed.

Dr Nikki McCaffrey – Flinders University
Better informing decision-making with multiple outcomes cost-effectiveness analysis: Case studies in palliative care
Date: Monday 13th April
Time: 1:00pm – 2:00pm
Venue: SAHMRI Auditorium
Abstract: Comparing multiple, diverse outcomes with cost-effectiveness analysis is important, yet challenging in areas like palliative care where domains are unamenable to integration with survival. Generic multi-attribute utility values exclude important domains and non-health outcomes, while partial analyses - where outcomes are considered separately, with their joint relationship under uncertainty ignored - lead to incorrect inference regarding preferred strategies. This presentation considers whether decision making can be better informed in complex disease areas such as palliative care with alternative presentation and summary measures, extending methods previously shown to have advantages in multiple strategy comparison.
Speaker Bio: Dr Nikki McCaffrey is a health economist with a pharmacy background and over ten years' experience in health technology assessment and health economic analysis in palliative care. She works for Flinders Health Economics Group and the Palliative Care Clinical Studies Collaborative (PaCCSC), a national collaboration of researchers engaged in Phase III studies in palliative care. Dr McCaffrey has been successful as: a researcher, applying qualitative and quantitative approaches in palliative care economic evaluation, outcome measurement, the quality use of medicines, healthy ageing and epidemiology; a health technology evaluator, critiquing applications to the Australian Pharmaceutical Benefits Advisory Committee; and a pharmaceutical adviser, providing guidance to over 40 GPs regarding the cost-effective use of medicines.
Dr McCaffrey is an investigator on competitive research grants totalling more than A$4.3 million. Her original research includes:
− Comparison in cost-disutility space to best inform risk neutral or risk averse decision makers when comparing more than two strategies with multiple outcomes in health technology assessment;
− Outcome measurement in palliative care economic evaluations, including the development of disease specific preference based economic measures;
− Evaluation of community models of palliative care; and
− Development of discrete choice attributes from qualitative data.
Dr McCaffrey is an advisory group member for the Specialist Palliative Care and Advance Planning Advisory Service for Aged Care, a national project funded by the government ($14.95 mill), a research executive member of the South Australian Palliative Care Clinical Network, and a PaCCSC Scientific Committee board member. In 2015, she has been invited to present her research at the Cicely Saunders Institute, Kings College, London and the 14th World Congress of the European Association for Palliative Care in Denmark.

Feds Making Plans for Security Clearinghouse
The federal government is developing plans for a secure network operations center for all security information flowing to and from the government.The federal government is developing plans for a secure network operations center for all security information flowing to and from the government. The security operations center would be separate from other such facilities at federal agencies and would not necessarily be concerned with monitoring the operations of production government networks. Instead, the SOC would be a clearinghouse that gathers and analyzes data from the private sector, mainly the Information Sharing and Analysis Centers in several major vertical industries.
The new facility will likely be located in northern Virginia, according to sources familiar with the plans. The plans are part of the Department of Homeland Securitys efforts to engage the private sector more fully in the process of defending the nations critical infrastructure. This is a key concern for the department because the lions share of the infrastructure is owned privately; the government must rely on ISPs, carriers and large enterprises for help in securing it.

The class (interface) javax.transaction.Synchronization is part of JavaEE, which Tomcat does not support out of the box. If you want to leverage transactional functionality, you should have an external transactional manager. Now, I am curious to see the code for your HibernateUtil class (just to see how your developers are calling underlying APIs) ... Let's tackle that problem separately.

What does the line 50 says in com.systemsmadesimple.struts.WebConfig.initialize method? What does that initialize() method look like? How are you calling the IO API from there? My guess is that your developers are not checking for null there and you get the NPE at runtime. So, yes - JBoss-to-Tomcat migration can be challenging. There are few gotchas, but your developers should definitely help you out. :)

Orofacial clefting is one of the most common birth defects in humans, affecting approximately 1 in 700 live births. This frequency highlights the complexity of craniofacial morphogenesis, which requires precise regulation of gene expression changes, alterations in cell physiology and morphogenic movements. The mouse has played an instrumental role in advancing our understanding of the mechanisms that govern mid- face and palate development. Future progress, however, will require an increasingly sophisticated set of genetic models and tools. The overall goal of this project is to facilitate orofacial clefting research by generating new mouse genetic tools and by providing a repository of mouse strains critical for clefting research community. First, we will generate both inducible and constitutive Cre recombinase driver lines as new genetic tools. These new mouse strains will be designed specifically to support orofacial clefting research, with input from members of the Face Base consortium. These lines will be characterized in our established pipeline for evaluation and quality control of Cre-expressing mouse strains. Second, we will provide a repository for importation, cryopreservation, genetic quality control, and distribution of new and existing mouse models and tool strains important for orofacial clefting research. Such strains will include genetically engineered, spontaneously occurring, and ENU-induced models. New models for orofacial clefting will be actively solicited from members of the Face Base consortium and from the scientific community at large. We will create a public website for the Jackson Face Base Repository to promote the use of this resource and to facilitate access to mouse models and tools for orofacial research. Together, these projects will provide both Face Base members and the general scientific community with new research tools, novel genetic models, and comprehensive mouse repository services to enhance research in orofacial clefting.
Orofacial clefting is one of the most common birth defects in humans;causes are both genetic and environmental. Discovery of the genetic cause of disease in human populations is difficult due to extreme heterogeneity in humans and to the diversity of environmental and nutritional variables. Consequently, genetic tools and animal models with defined genetic backgrounds and controlled environments are important for understanding genetic regulation of mid-face and palate development.

Do people still read warning labels and when they do, do they read them carefully? That, being the case, these picks for the Men's NCAA Division 1 Basketball Tournament should probably come with a grain of salt and the following label: do not bet anything you can't afford to lose using these selections.
Then again, some folks have found that you can go completely opposite of the choices and get more right than this sports editor.
But, with not one clear-cut favorite for the national championship, do expect more upsets this year than in recent memory.

Lady Tigers awaken, down SCC 105-78 in first round
Campbellsville awoke from a first-half slumber and survived a scare from St. Catharine in the opening round of the Mid-South Tournament moving on with a 105-78 win on Thursday.
The Lady Patriots, using eight first-half threes, trailed by five (47-42) at intermission before the Lady Tigers used a 28-11 run to start the second half and pushed the lead to 22 (75-53). SCC closed within 12 with 6:00 to go, but again the Lady Tigers made a run.
Marion County used a strong fourth quarter to repeat as Girls' Fifth Region Tournament champions 53-52 over Elizabethtown on Saturday night in Lebanon.
The Lady Knights used eight points, including a pair of three-pointers from tourney MVP Kyvin Goodin-Rogers to overcome a 42-35 deficit.
It was the sixth straight year that the Lady Panthers (29-4) had been in the title game. E-town won titles in 2006, 2008 and 2009.
Campbellsville University will have a chance at two more home games this season. After the Tigers' NAIA Tournament hopes came to an end with a Mid-South Conference Tournament loss last week, CU will now serve as the No.1 seed in the Mid-East Region of the National Christian College Athletic Association (NCCAA) Tournament.
Campbellsville (16-15) will host Tennessee Temple on Thursday in a 7 p.m. tip-off at Powell Athletic Center.
The other region semifinal Thursday night will be between No. 3 Victory Christian and second-seed King College.
CU Press Release
Campbellsville University dominated the final six minutes Sunday to blow past Shawnee State University 72-58 in Farnham Dudgeon Arena and claim the 2011 Mid-South Conference Women's Basketball Tournament championship.
The win is Campbellsville's fourth time to win both the MSC regular season and tournament titles, and first since 2004, ending a two-year run as regular season champ but tournament bridesmaid.
Lady Tiger seniors go out in style
The Campbellsville University Lady Tigers had a senior moment Saturday afternoon, but fortunately it wasn't one endorsed by the AARP.
Saying goodbye to six seniors who have led Campbellsville to 103 wins, the Lady Tigers dismantled the University of the Cumberlands 101-72 for their 32nd conference win in their last 33 starts.

UNetLab can be considered the next major version of iou-web, but the software has been rewritten from scratch. The major advantage over GNS3 and iou-web itself is about multi-hypervisor support within a single entity. UNetLab allows to design labs using IOU, Dynamips and QEMU nodes without dealing with multi virtual machines: everything run in- side a UNetLab host, and a lab is a single file including all information needed.
Feedback from UNetLab users
Many users prefer UNetLab over VIRL and GNS3, ready why from their own words.
James Joyce - Moraitis Communications (Australia)
I am using unetlab to build labs from INE and Cisco so I can practice for the practical lab exam for CCIE SP. I got through CCIE RS with the help of iou-web, but I required real hardware lab to complete the training which was a big expense. Having unetlab I can build the SP lab 100% virtual and practice design and scenarios ready for the test.
I am Head of ICT for Moraitis Communications, an ICT Company in Sydney, Australia.
Roman Dodin - Alcatel (Russia)
A group of IP engineers pursuing various goals such as certification exams practicing, interop testing or some other hands-on activities demand extensive hardware resources. To satisfy the demand for additional routers virtualization technologies come to the rescue. Unified Networking Lab being a multi-user, client-free, well-supported environment became choice #1 for us to run Alcatel-Lucent 7750 Virtual Service Router. Ability to run many virtual routers in any topology interconnected with real hardware in our lab basically created personal laboratory environment for each engineer.
Anton Zyablov - Nokia (Russia)
From my point of view the UNetLab project is a great tool both for newbies and experienced telecom engineers, who work in labs and build networks from scratch. Due to flexibility, VM multi-vendor support, multi-user features and a powerful interface it has become an indispensable tool for daily usage and network design elaboration for NOKIA customers. One of its remarkable features is the ability to quickly reproduce the real customer environment for BNG applications, which allows us speedup issue investigation, search workarounds and perform dry run tests without spending night and day on PoC setup. This software brings unmeasurable value to NOKIA BNG projects and helps increase the quality of solutions provided to our customers.
