Recently I have been looking at Bijk.com and testing it out to see how it holds up as a Server Monitoring solution. The Bijk.com Server Monitoring interface is clean, feature packaged and rather sexy to look at. The dashboard combines most if not all of the stats into a nice place to view your servers…
