PRTG storage performance monitoring: What you’ll find on this page
PRTG makes storage management as easy as it gets
Custom alerts and data visualization let you quickly identify and prevent storage performance bottlenecks.
4 reasons to use PRTG as your storage performance monitoring tool
Although most data storage devices have their own built-in monitoring system, they are limited to the devices’ functionality and don’t see the full picture. Paessler PRTG’s comprehensive, all-in-one network monitoring software is therefore critical to map your storage system as well as your entire IT infrastructure in a central overview.
Avoid costly downtime
PRTG helps you avoid negative business impact due to storage problems and even downtime of the complete system by monitoring all storage components 24/7.
This means monitoring hardware and application health and availability – and, sometimes even more important, performance.
Wide vendor compatibility
With PRTG, you can monitor hardware storage devices of the most popular manufacturers out of the box, for example Dell EMC, NetApp, HPE, IBM, Lenovo, Synology, QNAP, and Buffalo.
You run your storage infrastructure in the cloud? No problem. PRTG’s preconfigured sensors also include cloud service providers like AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Drive, or Dropbox.
Comprehensive monitoring
Use PRTG to keep an eye on the performance of almost every hardware and software component in classic IT environments you can think of.
Switches, CPUs, servers, databases, backup software, virtual hosts – with our monitoring software, you can rest assured that your entire network is taken care of.
Custom alerts & notifications
Make sure your storage infrastructure monitoring is always targeted and aligned with the specific requirements of your network.
Set performance thresholds and let PRTG notify you via email, SMS, push notification, or other methods as soon as they’re breached.
What storage performance monitoring looks like in PRTG
