Research shows that organizations experience 14.1 hours of down-time annually, causing businesses to lose approximately 545 hours of staff productivity and $1.55 million in lost profits every year. As such, businesses must take proactive steps to prevent issues that lead to down-time.
With remote server monitoring and management, business owners and IT leaders get advanced warning of pending updates, irregular behavior and failures of in-house servers. Depending on configuration, automated scripts are activated and will execute preprogrammed actions to fix issues and correct problems remotely. By stopping such issues in their tracks, remote server monitoring can help avert bigger problems from occurring.
Lower TCO
Aside from initial upfront investments, ongoing maintenance, and server hardware and software upgrades plus the cost of recruiting, training and maintaining IT staff can quickly raise the cost of server ownership. Of course, that affects the business’s bottom line. There are costs to deploying remote server monitoring solutions, but nowhere near the costs of a manual approach.
Seamless maintenance
Applications, programs and systems must be up-to-date and in sync with the latest patches, software updates, and security and health checks. Business operations run smoothly when networks are properly maintained and secure, but those tasks are challenging and increase with the size of your organization and IT infrastructure. Remote monitoring helps keep track of the state and health of the IT architecture and promptly notifies your company when one or more systems require an update.
Minimize Downtime
Unplanned downtime is a huge threat to business activity. Aside from huge financial losses, customers often lose trust in your company’s services when they are unable to have access to them. When your systems go down, employees also may lose access to their workloads, software, emails, communications and other essentials for their jobs, preventing them from fulfilling customer orders. By deploying remote server monitoring, you can keep your systems running by proactively watching for and dealing with issues before they become critical.
