31. Challenges Addressed “I can provide our system administrators with more in-depth monitoring and more explicit alerting. We can configure server reports to show downtime warnings, downtime events, and the start time and end time of every occurrence. We can also quickly learn why a server experienced downtime—whether it was a power outage, a hardware or software malfunction, or a server maintenance issue.” Paul Johnson, Windows Monitoring Architect & Systems Engineer, Gates Corp IT services, applications and servers must run smoothly Increasing pressure for service levels that ensure optimal uptime and responsiveness IT services, applications and servers must run smoothly Increasing pressure for service levels that ensure optimal uptime and responsiveness Proactively monitor availability, performance and configuration across heterogeneous platforms Perform deep application and service-level monitoring Proactively monitor availability, performance and configuration across heterogeneous platforms Perform deep application and service-level monitoring Key Capabilities ERP Application Databases Order Tracker DB Servers Web Servers DN-App1 OTW-IIS-01OTW-IIS-02
