Why data center monitoring is important

In order to ensure the trouble-free operation of a data center, it is essential to keep a constant eye on a whole range of different components, both in IT and in building services engineering.

Prevent IT infrastructure downtimes

To detect faults as early as possible and thus avoid problems, damage, and breakdowns, you should constantly monitor not only hardware from server racks, computers, storage systems, switches, and routers, but also data traffic, applications, and overall performance.

Optimize resource usage & planning

From classic IT and security measures to environmental parameters and power consumption – monitoring data provides information on trends and consumption peaks as well as on unused resources or overcapacity. This provides a precise basis for long-term data analysis and optimization.

Ensure data center security at all levels

Data centers are doubly at risk: on the IT level, there are DDos attacks, viruses & similar threats, on the physical level, there can be fire & water damage or unauthorized intrusion. It is thus essential that you monitor metrics such as humidity, temperature, smoke as well as surveillance systems.

4 reasons why PRTG is the best solution for data center monitoring

1. Avoid breakdowns of your data center infrastructure

With PRTG, you can see at one glance that there are no problems in your data center and that everything is running smoothly so that you can focus on other areas of your work.

As every minute of downtime in your data center can cost your company thousands of dollars, high availability of all your data center components is vital for your business success. PRTG helps you prevent errors and downtimes even before they occur. If a component in your data center infrastructure is about to fail, PRTG shows you the cause of the error so that you can quickly fix it.

2. 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.

3. 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 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.

4. 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.
