Visibility of an infrastructure's behaviour is critical when trying to maintain maximum performance and service availability. Traditionally this is the domain of expensive proprietary SNMP management systems, although this is not the only route to effective network management and monitoring.
Applied Security Consulting have successfully deployed and integrated a variety of commercial and open-source products into powerful monitoring systems, providing the features of high-end products for little more cost than a few days consultancy. Such tools can form the basis of an expanding management platform that grows at the same pace as your infrastructure.This kind of system takes away the guesswork and provides an easy path to network troubleshooting and pre-emptive maintenance and upgrade. Bandwidth utilisation monitoring on LAN segments as well as WAN links, event log consolidation, network infrastructure diagram libraries, traffic latency monitoring and service availability can be integrated into a single management interface. Alerting via email or paging alerts to network management staff for unexpected events can be added if required.
Existing systems management products can be integrated into the overall system too, or perhaps you simply need assistance in ensuring that you are getting the best from what you have. ASC consultants will work with you to make sure you get exactly what you need, regardless of what you have to start with.
