Mit der Integration von immer mehr Geräten und Prozessen in die digitale Infrastruktur von Unternehmen steigt die Komplexität und der damit verbundene Aufwand für deren Betrieb deutlich an. In Verbindung mit dem Mangel an Fachkräften im ICT-Sektor sind die Wartung und Überwachung dieser Infrastruktur für Unternehmen eine zunehmende Herausforderung. Zunehmend kleine IT-Teams müssen mit einer Vielzahl an verschiedenen herstellerspezifischen Management- und Kontrollwerkzeugen vertraut sein. Diese Vielzahl an Tools macht jedoch häufig genug die Einschätzung über den Gesamtzustand schwer bis unmöglich. Proaktive Überwachung ist damit genau so schwierig wie eine schnelle Reaktion auf aktuelle Ausfälle und sich auftuende Engpässe. Um hier Abhilfe zu schaffen, bedarf es einer Lösung, die herstellerunabhängig Daten aggregiert, darstellt und mit definierten Aktionen reagiert. Diese muss mindestens drei Hauptkriterien erfüllen: Kompatibilität, Ausfallsicherheit und Automation.
PRTG from Paessler is a monitoring tool that can be easily integrated into existing digital infrastructures. From monitoring hardware data to quality-of-service metrics in cloud applications, everything can be implemented. As a manufacturer-independent tool with around 300 preconfigured sensors for all common hardware and software manufacturers as well as extensive, tailor-made API capabilities, it can be set up conveniently and adapted to individual needs. The recorded data can be displayed in customized dashboards with an integrated alarm system. When a threshold is reached or an alarm is triggered, not only can you be notified individually, but you can also respond automatically via script or API call.
PRTG is a complete product with no modules or add-ons. Regardless of the size of the installation, you always have access to all features. Scaling is based purely on the number of licensed sensors and can be dynamically adjusted at any time. In contrast to many other solutions, there are no hidden costs. New systems can be inserted into existing dashboards using drag & drop. In this way, individually configured displays and alarm systems can be adjusted easily and quickly at any time.
PRTG's architecture also allows monitoring of large and distributed infrastructures with many locations. The connection to existing ERP or ticket systems as well as comprehensive reporting provide information about the status of the existing systems, even over a longer period of time. This makes PRTG the ideal solution for companies of all sizes to relieve their own resources and get a holistic overview of their own digital infrastructure.
The decision to use a monitoring tool to monitor the digital infrastructure should be professionally prepared. On the one hand, the correct installation and configuration is associated with effort, on the other hand, a change after a short time due to lack of compatibility or missing features causes unnecessary effort and costs. The selected tool must meet all the requirements of day-to-day business as well as those in emergencies, otherwise troubleshooting can be made considerably more difficult or even impossible.
These questions should be carefully examined so that the usually already limited resources are not used in projects that ultimately do not represent any relief. In this process, we will be happy to assist you as a reliable partner in defining criteria and evaluating the introduction of PRTG.
The basis for the decision to introduce PRTG is usually an extensive test phase with an unlimited license. Once this has been successfully completed, the project must be transferred to regular operation. While setting up a test installation usually has a pilot character and is therefore limited in scope, implementation across many locations with thousands of sensors for devices and processes quickly becomes complex and time-consuming. To avoid complications caused by errors in planning and implementation, it is advisable to implement this with an experienced partner at your side.
As your partner, we can strengthen our own limited resources, advise you during implementation or, if necessary, take over the entire process. In this way, challenges can be mastered better and breakdowns can be avoided. The quick, efficient and safe commissioning of small and large installations can be implemented with minimal strain on your own human and financial resources. With our many years of experience in implementing PRTG, we are your partner for a successful implementation that is tailored to your needs.
