• Ensure 24/7 monitoring of all your data center through PRTG
• Check how your infrastructure is performing in real time
• Avoid expensive outages
• Address bottlenecks before they cause problems
• Know trends in data center for a better capacity planning
• Provide better Quality of Experience (QoE) to your customers

Data center monitoring with PRTG
At Paessler, data center monitoring goes beyond the traditional IT and Network monitoring.
In fact, from monitoring perspective a data center can be seen as an entity composed of three main blocks:
1. IT and Network Infrastructure
This includes network devices (switches, routers, etc. from vendors like Linksys or Cisco), servers, firewalls, load balancers, virtual environments, etc.
2. Applications and Services
It includes all applications and services which are hosted in your data center. For example, web servers (IIS, Apache, NGINX), SQL Servers (Microsoft SQL Server 2005-2016, Oracle, MySQL, PostgreSQL), mail server (Exchange, IMAP, POP3, SMTP), web applications (websites, portals), backups, security, and customer specific applications.
3. Data center environment
It covers all aspects around data center facilities. For example, physical sensors (which monitor temperature, humidity, smoke, and movements in server rooms), security cameras, energy supply, access control, etc. Read more about physical security monitoring here: https://www.paessler.com/physical-security-monitoring
PRTG Network Monitor makes network monitoring easy:
One Tool for everything
With PRTG you can monitor the classic infrastructure, the data center environment, and services & applications at the same time and within one tool. PRTG offers more than 250 predefined sensors out of the box for suppliers like Dell, Citrix, HP, IBM and many more. But, don’t worry if you’re using other brands, PRTG is agentless, and therefore makes it easy for you to integrate your own device through custom sensors. Every object which has an IP address and which supports a monitoring protocol (SNMP, WMI, HTTP, etc) can be monitored by PRTG.
Get automatically alerted
Once you start monitoring your data center in real time, you’ll never have to worry about bottlenecks, exceeding your bandwidth, or fluctuation in temperature in your data center. All you need is to set thresholds and PRTG will alert you each time something is not working as expected, thanks to its very flexible and powerful notifications mechanism. Besides, PRTG learns what is normal for your infrastructure and it will automatically detect unusual behaviors and alerts you accordingly.
Data reporting for better service quality
Moreover, the PRTG data reporting will allow you to see trends in your data center and help you to decide where more capacity is needed. By doing so, you will be:
• Be proactive (by detecting problems bevor they affect you customers)
• Avoid downtime
• Fulfil your Service-Level-Agreements (SLAs)
• Provide better quality of experience to your customers
