4 reasons why to choose PRTG as your data center monitoring tool
Avoid downtime with a 24/7 data center monitoring system
Everything in your data center is running smoothly? Great! In Paessler PRTG, you can see at one glance that there are no problems in your data center and focus on other areas of your work.
Every minute of downtime in your data center can cost your company thousands of dollars. Thus, high availability of all your data center components is vital for your business success.
What’s more: with PRTG, you can prevent errors and downtimes even before they occur. If a component in your data center infrastructure fails, PRTG shows you the cause of the error so that you can quickly fix it.
Customize thresholds, alerts & notifications
Once you have set up your data center monitoring in PRTG, you can sit back and relax. If any issue or error occurs in your data center, PRTG instantly alerts you via highly customizable alerts and notifications. You can not only set custom threshold values but also choose the way you want to be informed – whether by email, SMS, push notification, Teams or slack message, and more.
Visualize your data on structured maps & dashboards
The more complex your data center, the harder it is to know if everything works as expected. PRTG provides you with a central overview that consolidates any data center monitoring data in easy-to-read dashboards. You can also create your own, customized maps and dashboards that show you all important metrics in one view – even of distributed data centers.
Get detailed statistics and useful reporting
PRTG not only monitors your data center in real time but also records all important performance data. You therefore get detailed information about your data center whenever you want it: How high was the overall uptime during the last 12 months? What about bandwidth usage?
With the comprehensive reporting system of PRTG, you can also identify data usage trends in your data center. This way, you can decide more easily where more capacity is needed or where you can save resources. Data center monitoring reports help you to:
- Be proactive by detecting problems bevor they affect you customers
- Avoid downtime and costly system outages
- Fulfill your service level agreements (SLA)
- Provide better quality of experience to your customers
Monitor all aspects of your data center
Data centers are way more than a bunch of computers in a room. Thus, data center monitoring goes beyond traditional IT and network monitoring. In fact, a data center can be seen as an entity composed of three main blocks, which you can all monitor with PRTG.
Applications and services
Keep track of all applications and services which are hosted in your data center, for example, web servers (IIS, Apache), SQL servers (Microsoft SQL Server 2005-2016, Oracle, MySQL, PostgreSQL), mail servers (Exchange, IMAP, POP3, SMTP), web applications (websites, portals), backups, security, and customer specific applications.
Environmental monitoring system
Most data centers host critical information and run applications that businesses and individuals rely on for their daily work. As a result, it is crucial to maintain an optimal data center environment. This involves monitoring metrics such as temperature, humidity, smoke, the energy supply, and even physical security in server rooms.
