Server Performance Monitoring for MSP

With the global pandemic outbreak, major impacts have been seen across all industrial sectors, including IT. IT management has become a serious challenge in the work-from-home scenario; remote monitoring and management software has become the need of the hour.

The challenges businesses face in server monitoring are:

1. Monitoring devices from multiple vendors running various operating system (OS) types.
2. Setting up suitable performance baselines, and monitoring intervals and violation thresholds for each performance metric of the network.
3. Lack of proactive issue identification at the initial stage, which increases downtime.
4. Monitoring critical services and processes running on servers.
5. Monitoring critical event IDs among all network activity data.

All these issues vanish when MSPs take over the IT management of businesses. Organizations that are cutting costs, seeing pay cuts, experiencing limitations to benefits, and seeing their staff shrink can benefit from an MSP-based solution. By having IT engineers work on specialized functions such as networking, servers, desktops, and IT operations support, an MSP can help businesses looking to outsource their IT monitoring, so businesses can instead focus on areas of their expertise.
