Customers want to ensure minimum down-time on their mission critical systems.
To that end they need to know that the resourses they commit within their infrastucture
are allocated effectively and that any issues are identified quickly and avoid costly
redress.
Having applications and other resources off-line can adversely impact staff moral
and customer services in a very short period of time.
That is why many of Comunet’s customers take advantage of infrastructure monitoring
tools to anticipate issues and tackle problems before they effect operational performance.
Comunet has vast experience with the deployment of these tools and has assisted
customers both in setting up their own monitoring environment as well as hosting
a monitoring station through its own helpdesk.
Comunet partners

Novell PlateSpin
PlateSpin Recon 3.7, part of the PlateSpin family of products, provides
Virtual Capacity Management (VCM) and Consolidation Planning. It is designed
to remove the guess work out of planning by monitoring workloads across servers
at different times and analysing utilisation ‘peaks and troughs.’
It’s ideal for planning consolidation in virtual environments and reducing
the risk of underutilisation of expensive servers.
Both low-cost monitoring applications can be quickly deployed and often present
a quick return-on-investment for customers. To discover more about these products
