PRTG virtual machine monitoring: What you’ll find on this page
PRTG makes virtual infrastructure monitoring as easy as it gets
Custom alerts and data visualization let you quickly identify and prevent availability and performance issues of your virtual network devices.
Virtual machines. Real impacts.
They're the multi-tools of enterprise networks. Flexible. Versatile. Multifunctional.
And, because they're isolated from each other by design, a single virtual machine's failure won't bring the network down.
Accurate, highly customizable, and compatible with most major virtualization platforms, Paessler PRTG makes sure all your virtual servers work smoothly, and lets you know the second there's a risk something might go wrong so you can fix it double quick.
Because when your virtual machines are working as they should, your colleagues are happy… and so are you.
