Juggling multiple vendor systems in your data center operations can feel like a circus – too many balls in the air and something’s bound to drop.
PRTG steps in with vendor-agnostic sensors that integrate with top hardware and virtualization providers like Cisco, VMware, and Rittal. Now, instead of bouncing between systems, you can monitor everything in one tidy interface – without losing your sanity.
