Description

Join Uncle Marv and veteran MSP Tom Wyant as they dive deep into the Ubiquiti ecosystem for IT professionals. Discover real-world tips for replacing SonicWall and Cisco hardware, advanced UniFi management, and transitioning to cost-effective network hardware for MSPs. Whether you’re an Ingenious, Synology, or Cisco fan, get candid pros and cons plus actionable advice designed for IT business owners.

Actionable Takeaways

• Consider Ubiquiti for new deployments and client upgrades: it offers robust features, is easy to manage, and dramatically reduces ongoing licensing costs.
• Always stock spare hardware and leverage 5-year replacement warranties to provide seamless support and minimize downtime for clients.
• Use Synology not just for storage, but for virtualization, backup, and value-added MSP services; maximize the compatibility features for deploying third-party devices and apps.
