Monitoring Overview

Why Monitor? Visibility (The Truth) MeasurementCorrelation Notification Actively know environment is working Actively know when its not! Continuous visibility Fault awareness before the end user No finger pointing! Half the time to resolve problems Diagnosis is MUCH simpler See only the problem, not the noise! Always in touch! Information to manage Sweat the assets! If you can see it, you can do something about it. Its what you cant see that will kill you!

Why Monitoring Systems don't work –High upfront investment –Availability (and accessibility) of in- house skills to implement and support the solution –Technical complexity –Heavy resource impact on device and network –Ability to rapidly deliver value –Lack of tool flexibility –Never-ending configuration, maintenance and administration Gartner

OMA Horizontal vs. Vertical Mom/SCom BotzView tests 96 tests We are not going to configure your Netbotz, - use the Netbotz tool. We will tell you that your data centre is overheating, every time, only when it is. We will tell the correct person, even if you changed the configuration. If you want tests, get SCom If you Want 96 tests that cover the 99.99%, get OMA!
