Correlation of IT infrastructure & business layer vs. simple event correlation
IT systems are complex, dynamic, and need to consolidate many layers – from physical hardware to software applications and virtual environments, to the integration of on-premises, cloud, and hybrid infrastructures.
DX Spectrum: Only simple event correlation
DX Spectrum only covers your IT infrastructure layer. It does not offer a comprehensive overview of all your systems, nor does it keep a close eye on your business processes.
This means you only benefit from event correlation in your network infrastructure, but you do not get correlation of IT infrastructure and business service events and alarms.
PRTG Enterprise Monitor: Correlation with your business layer
PRTG Enterprise Monitor includes PRTG SLA Reporter and PRTG MultiBoard, two powerful product extensions to enhance your monitoring setup even further.
Use PRTG SLA Reporter to
- automatically generate up-to-the-minute SLA reports, either on demand or via schedule
- define your required service level agreements and map dedicated PRTG sensors to them
Deploy PRTG MultiBoard for
- a complete overview across multiple PRTG servers, customized to your needs
- a central management of your monitoring setup in a single pane of glass
