The term "prevention is better than cure" can now apply to many aspects of network management.
Why? Because sitting around waiting for a problem to happen is not always the best approach. No matter how good your troubleshooting skills or tools are, there are much more effective ways of getting to the root of a problem - quickly.
Being able to predict or identify problems "before" they become serious has to have its advantages.
By setting up performance standards and aligning these with alerts, you can be warned by your system when a problem is about to occur. Therefore making it easier to prevent a major problem developing.
Solarwinds offers this level of functionality plus lots more, and can sit at the heart of your Network displaying the current status of all your key devices.
What does Solarwinds do?
Solarwinds monitors network traffic, hardware (switches, servers, routers, etc), as well as the processes and applications that are be running (ie. Exchange, IIS, SQL etc).
It predicts when failure is likely to occur and alerts any number of people via email, text, pager, or helpdesk when problems are likely to occur.
Increasingly available and more efficient services
There are already enough challenges to delivering profitable revenues without creating additional ones. Ensuring that the company network and its services provide even a small increase in reliability can have a dramatic effect on overall company profitability.
Solarwinds is able to identify weaknesses in the network through the constant monitoring of its hardware components and applications. It will issue alerts when a fault is detected, enabling the root cause of the problem to be rapidly identified. Typically, it is the identification process that accounts for over 70% of the time taken to perform any remedial action.
Throughout the monitoring process, Solarwinds captures and stores data for representation in graphical form. This meaningful way of displaying historical information allows any trends to be identified and analysed. Benefits of this include being able to select the optimum time for network maintenance and for locating any data traffic bottlenecks.
