Agenda Overview – System and Network Monitoring Case Study SiteMaestro Live Demonstration Questions

System & Network Monitoring Why Monitor? –Forecast/Prevent System and Network Failures –Reduce/Prevent Impact to Business When These Failures Occur Types of Monitoring –Passive (Shallow - trap-based) –Semi-Proactive (Medium - network-based) –Proactive (Deep - agent-based)

Case Study Local Maryland College –2,000 students, 30+ Servers, 50+ network devices –Database, Website Needs –Inexpensive –Supported –Easy to setup and maintain –Proactive notification of user-defined conditions –Flexible customization (scripts, performance counters) –Long-term storage with graphing –Centralized console

Case Study (cont) Rejected Solutions –Shareware Inexpensive Unreliable support Implementation can be costly –Large Solutions (CA Unicenter, IBM Tivoli, etc) Very expensive Huge learning curve Very complex Not easy to customize

Case Study (Solution) SiteMaestro –Inexpensive As little as $299 per server Minimal training investment –Easy to deploy Up and running in as little as one day –Supported Each client is assigned a personal support technician Quick answers to technical issues/questions

Case Study (Solution) –Supported (cont) Product updates that address issues and respond to customer needs and feedback –Easy to setup and maintain Usually up and running in one day –Features User-defined alarm conditions Notifications via pager, , and others Easy to customize with your own scripts, performance counters, and code

Case Study (Solution) Long-term storage of data for analysis Graphing of data Central console/dashboard

Case Study (Impl) Solution Implementation –SiteMaestro agent on each critical server Time = 3 minutes/server (approximately 90 minutes) –Configure one agent to ping all network devices Time = 15 minutes –Configure one agent to monitor core router and switches via SNMP Time = 30 minutes –Configure one agent to monitor website and database Time = 5 minutes

Case Study (Impl) Solution Implementation (cont) –Start console (auto-detects all agents) Time = 1 minute –Install central repository on database server Time = 15 minutes All agents automatically start sending data –Install repository GUI client on workstation Time = 3 minutes –Onsite training Time = ½ day
