Monitoring and Managing Your WAN is a Daily Frustration.
You are probably not an expert on WAN connectivity, nor are you a certified technician for every equipment manufacturer that your network is utilizing. As a result, a normal day in the office can turn into a multi-hour troubleshooting nightmare when your network connection is down. A poor connection can affect your overall office productivity and success. Avoid this problem by utilizing network management and monitoring.
Network Monitoring is when a third party, outsourced provider deploys a system that constantly monitors a WAN for slow or failing components and that notifies the network administrator (via email, SMS, or other alarms) in case of outages or performance beyond your pre-set acceptable parameters. It can be a stand-alone service or included as part of Network Management. Network Management refers to outsourcing the operation, administration, maintenance, and provisioning of your Wide Area Network.
What’s in it for me?
- Improve customer satisfaction. Maintain a WAN that is in optimum condition and keep customers happy.
- Increase productivity and profits. Enjoy constant monitoring of networks and stay informed of any link errors that could prove fatal to your company’s productivity and profits. Hiring a full-time person to do this costs upwards of $10k/month and he/she will probably still not know as much as the outsourced provider.
- Monitor employee activity. Constant network monitoring helps you keep track on actual compliance of your employees’ computer/application use as well as retrieving any lost information.
- Experience peace of mind. Technical experts are available to handle any issues that may occur. If your network experiences any problems, you will be promptly notified.
