Open Source System Management

Nagios As a Business Console

Nagios is an open source application for system and network management. It is used to generate notifications whenever incidents occur, monitor response times, and check the functionality of your applications by means of simulated tests referred to as monitors. Applications are assigned to business processes and mapped to your IT infrastructure, making Nagios your business console.

Nagios helps you not only reduce your company's expenses for administration, operations, and management, but also to implement preventive actions. It allows you to respond to problems at an early stage and thus ensure a positive user experience. The major advantage of Nagios is the variety of features and its enormous flexibility - this enables our consultants to develop tailor-made monitoring solutions for you, optimally adapted to your structures and processes.
