PRTG server availability monitoring: What you’ll find on this page
PRTG makes server availability and performance monitoring as easy as it gets
Custom alerts and data visualization let you quickly identify and prevent performance issues with your servers before they escalate.
Make rapid response your IT team’s mantra
A strong IT management strategy requires comprehensive oversight of your IT infrastructure. Server availability monitoring with Paessler PRTG does just that. Complete visibility into your servers (as well as other network devices) and immediate notifications give your IT team rapid response capabilities, an ability that is critical to minimize the effects of bottlenecks or even outages.
Get great at problem prevention
“Prevention is better than cure,” goes the saying, and PRTG server monitoring is your answer to preventative maintenance. PRTG provides round-the-clock, 24/7 monitoring, allowing IT teams to identify and address problems before they escalate into serious issues.
Monitor your server availability to identify patterns, and be notified when warning signs appear, such as high CPU usage, that can lead to server downtime if not addressed.
Take service quality to the next level
Part of delivering on your Quality of Service (QoS) promise is ensuring your servers are consistently available. Monitoring your QoS status is especially critical for businesses with customer-facing applications and servers.
Our server availability monitoring software elevates your QoS delivery by providing the necessary data you need for consistent server availability and performance.
Solidify the continuity of your business
Adding failover systems and data backups to your network can save your business, but only if they function correctly. PRTG’s network monitoring verifies that your redundancies can seamlessly take over if the primary server fails.
And, PRTG helps you build stronger disaster recovery strategies to quickly resume normal operations if an outage should happen.
Build compliance into every action
Responsible management includes proper documentation and reporting for regulatory compliance, as well as effective SLA management. Server availability monitoring helps you meet contractual uptime commitments, creates data logs, and records system uptime.
In this way, PRTG provides a one-stop solution to both comply with industry regulations and preserve customer relationships.
Reduce stress and keep your sanity
Server uptime monitoring can be a thankless job, full of time-intensive manual processes. On the other hand, availability monitoring can also be a soft “set it and forget it” action with PRTG’s monitoring capabilities.
Automatic problem detection, actionable insights that allow future planning, and more turn a thankless job into a “thank you.” Take the stress out of monitoring your servers and use your team’s time for tasks that require human power.
