Have you been worrying endlessly about what your employees do during their workday? How does your network perform? Do you keep a tab on the cost of infrastructure costs? How do you ensure business continuity?
Network Monitoring is a way for you to monitor your internet networking infrastructure to sniff out problems even before they arise; keep a check on questionable user activity; prevent files from overloading your networks; intervene and check before server crashes; rectify choppy network connections, etc.
Network monitoring can be achieved through Network Monitoring Systems – software and/or hardware – which work with any kind of wired or wireless networks. They can be used to extend monitoring on LAN, WAN, and WLAN. Network Monitoring Software can also work with systems irrespective of any OS in use – Linux, windows or Mac. Network Monitoring Systems also extend their functionality on to network-enabled mobile devices such as Blackberry, for instance.
Network Monitoring is critical for a growing business since it can be used to address issues that sprout up while managing networks, resolving security issues, meeting compliance needs, enhancing employee productivity, enforcing a forced continuity in business and preventing your business from an ever increasing avalanche of web and network related threats.
With networks exploding in terms of range and complexity, there is a proportionate range of solutions for Network Monitoring too. From complex Network Monitoring Systems that handle converged networks that handle data, voice, VoIP and data transmission to complete, end-to-end outsourced solutions, you have a bewildering pick of services to choose from.
If your network is highly complicated and difficult to manage, it only makes sense to outsource it to networking experts like The Network Pro to get a better ROI. Unless you have a full equipped team and infrastructure – the relevant software/hardware combination along with pertinent know-how -- anything else but outsourcing would be disastrous.
Good and reliable vendors you outsource network monitoring to usually provide basic network monitoring, manage and analyze your network(s), profile your network over time to check and identity issues, produce reports on network performance and operational readiness and much more. For once, a growing network with an equally expanding complexity shouldn’t worry you thanks to the ever agile team from your Network consulting provider working on your network 24 x 7 offering you a clear slate to run your business unhindered.
