DEVICE HEALTH & AVAILABILITY

Keep every network device healthy, available, and performing

Monitor 1,000+ device types with 100+ performance metrics for health, availability, and throughput
Track hardware metrics like temperature, voltage, and fan status to prevent failures
Use multi-level alerts to detect and address performance issues early
Auto-discover devices and apply monitoring configurations instantly
Visualize infrastructure with rack and 3D floor views for contextual insights

BANDWIDTH & TRAFFIC

Control bandwidth consumption before it controls your network

Use flow technologies like NetFlow and sFlow for real-time bandwidth visibility
Identify bandwidth-heavy devices, users, and applications through traffic analysis
Monitor WAN performance with latency, packet loss, and jitter tracking
Track WLCs, SSIDs, and access points for consistent wireless performance
Monitor VoIP quality to detect call degradation proactively

CHANGE MANAGEMENT

Track every configuration change before it becomes an outage

Track and govern configuration changes to prevent outages from misconfigurations
Compare configuration versions with Diff View to identify what changed and when
Automatically back up configurations before changes for reliable rollback
Enforce approval workflows to ensure authorized implementation of changes
Apply role-based access control across the entire change management process

LOG & SECURITY MONITORING

Turn infrastructure logs into security intelligence

Correlate syslogs, event logs, SNMP traps, and firewall logs to detect faults and anomalies
Use ASAM to identify behavioral threats and predict attacks like DDoS
Detect and block rogue devices with IP and switch port monitoring
Monitor IPv4/IPv6 usage to prevent conflicts and unauthorized access
Trigger alerts for critical security events and suspicious activity

COMPLIANCE MANAGEMENT

FAQ

What is IT infrastructure monitoring?

IT infrastructure monitoring is the process of tracking critical parameters in physical and virtual devices across an organization’s IT environment. It ensures optimal performance, minimizes downtime, enables faster fault management, and supports proactive security monitoring.

What are the key elements of IT infrastructure monitoring?

Key elements include prioritizing critical devices and metrics, continuously monitoring them, automating repetitive maintenance tasks, and using a unified licensing model. These help reduce overhead, improve performance, and enable proactive issue resolution.

How to monitor IT infrastructure?

IT infrastructure monitoring is carried out across five components: physical and virtual infrastructure, bandwidth, change management, logs, and IP addresses. Together, these help optimize performance, enhance security, and reduce downtime.

Why is IT infrastructure monitoring important?

It allows IT teams to closely observe performance patterns, predict potential issues, and prevent unexpected failures. This helps improve system reliability, enhance performance, and protect the infrastructure from disruptions.

How does IT infrastructure monitoring work?

IT infrastructure monitoring works by tracking interconnected components such as servers, applications, networks, and storage systems. These components process and transmit data, and monitoring ensures they function efficiently and reliably.

What are the types of IT infrastructure monitoring?

There are two main types:

Agent-less monitoring, which collects data directly from devices without installing software.
Agent-based monitoring, which uses installed agents to collect detailed, real-time performance data and reduce load on monitoring servers.
