The Challenge
As your business grows larger, you need to find a way to effectively monitor your business critical systems: servers, network devices, and applications. It is impossible for the Network Administrator to sit at a monitor all day and watch over the multiple servers, routers, printers, switches, and applications that are running throughout the system, that alone would be a full-time job, in fact, it could be several full-time positions.
If the task of monitoring these systems is not a priority in an organization, these systems can quickly degrade and fail. The monitoring of company servers is vital, if they are not closely observed their performance can begin to corrupt on all levels (CPU, Disk, and Memory), and soon lead to costly replacements. Monitoring an application such as Exchange is especially important in organizations that communicate largely via e-mail, if these systems cannot afford any downtime then monitoring them closely and constantly is the only option to ensure that they are running at optimum levels. All of these factors lead to a drain on network admin resources: manpower and hardware.
The Solution
By implementing MonitorMagic network administrators will be able to pro-actively monitor and manage their servers, network devices and applications, while at the same time easily archive event logs, create reports, and do performance trending. MonitorMagic is easily implemented, and can be up and running within 1-day with our out-of-the-box policies and dynamic report templates.
Upon implementation, MonitorMagic allows you to easily monitor all of your network systems, both hardware and software, without having to install an agent on each computer. MonitorMagic comes with pre-installed alarms for thresholds for each system, when these thresholds are reached warnings are sent to the network administrator (or whoever has been designated) and the issue can be dealt with before it becomes a serious problem. For example, if the CPU Load on the Exchange server is more than 95% for more than 5 consecutive minutes an alarm will be sent to the network administrator so that it can be addressed quickly.
MonitorMagic also comes with a powerful Performance Trending and Reporting tool which allows the network administrator to create historical performance reports to graph historical trends. This gives network admins the ability to quickly assess and predict possible stability and performance issues and when future upgrades may be needed. This tool allows network admins to fix issues before they turn into major problems, instead of putting out major fires constantly. MonitorMagic gives you the ability to maximize revenues and minimize downtime.
Immediate Benefits: MonitorMagic saves network admins valuable time by monitoring the network and providing important network management information. It comes with predefined rules and monitoring policies, which allow you to quickly begin monitoring in less than 10 minutes. MonitorMagic’s web interface allows administrators to securely monitor and manage multiple machines remotely. This is an invaluable feature for large networks or consultants working offsite. Whether you want to monitor one server or a vast array of network devices, MonitorMagic delivers the features and functionality you need.
