Are you an IT manager who is struggling to get complete network visibility and monitoring of your hybrid IT network infrastructure? We know network monitoring is quite critical yet challenging, as a lot of the IT teams operate in silos, working on different platforms. If this situation resonates with you, then we have the network monitoring solution for you. Read on to discover how we can help you manage and control your network monitoring situation efficiently.
Why Network Monitoring Is Critical Today
Whether an organisation has on-premises servers, multi-cloud applications, IoT devices, or remote endpoints, networks remain the backbone for any and every organisation. Imagine if there is even a slight performance issue or a breach reported in any part of your organisation’s network. This may lead to:
- Decreased productivity
- Business disruption
- Increased alert fatigue
- Regulatory and compliance challenges
A Proactive Approach to Network Monitoring
Yet for many organisations, network monitoring is reactive in nature, something that they would address when a user reports a problem. Today’s hybrid and advanced network infrastructure requires a proactive approach that requires end-to-end visibility and network analytics to identify gaps in advance. As per the Gartner Peer Community Insights survey, 59% participants have reported a heightened complexity in their enterprise architecture.
Top Challenges of Network Monitoring for IT Teams
Managing today’s networks has several layers of complexities and its own challenges:
- Distributed Infrastructure: The multi-hybrid network infrastructures span from on-premises to cloud, leaving IT teams finding it hard to get real-time visibility across these multiple layers.
- Network Fault and Alerts: Identifying and monitoring the network faults and alerts associated with them.
- Security Challenges: Detecting unauthorised access or potential threats that escalate and lead to operational disruptions.
In the absence of a smart networking monitoring system, the IT teams find themselves struggling with the never-ending alerts, trying to troubleshoot the issues encountered manually.
Introducing ManageEngine OpManger: Intelligent Network Monitoring Solution
ManageEngine OpManager is an advanced unified network monitoring software that is a one-stop solution that addresses the above-mentioned challenges efficiently. It provides the IT teams with strong capabilities to monitor the performance of routers, switches, servers, virtual machines, and any other critical elements in the network.
