Infrastructure systems such as servers and routers, and application resources like web and email servers are complex systems that are composed of several hardware and software components. No matter how well administrated they are, things still go wrong. When something does go wrong, it often causes something else to go wrong in a domino effect.

I can provide comprehensive monitoring services, as well as gather statistics and performance metrics that can be useful for a variety of purposes. Mainly though, I can know when something goes wrong when it happens. The closer to the first domino a problem is discovered, the easier it is to find, fix, and prevent future problems.

My monitoring system is enterprise-class, and alerts me to a huge assortment of situations from minor issues to major problems. I can look at a large array of conditions at any given time and see relationships between events and quickly sort between cause and symptom. I can often spot abnormal behaviors and patterns before they become problems, and review months of historical usage data to project future needs. Actively monitoring your systems is the best way to avoid surprises.
