How event monitoring can prevent IT disasters

Knowing what’s going on in your network is the best way to keep it all running smoothly. Being able to spot problems before they happen will make you a legend in the IT room and in the board room!

Using comprehensive system monitoring tools to filter, sort and display the millions of system events is an excellent way to stay on top of a busy network. These tools allow you to quickly assess the state of your network and spot problems or security breaches before or as they happen.
