November 19, 2010 – (HOSTSEARCH.COM) –
Panopta, a leading provider of advanced monitoring and outage management systems, launched the Panopta Monitoring Agent (PMA), designed to provide even more insight into its clients’ infrastructure operations.
The PMA gives administrators critical information about how their servers are performing, allowing them to detect trends in resource usage that can be used for capacity planning. More importantly, it provides real-time alerts about capacity problems that can be addressed before they become critical outages.
The PMA gathers information about the core system within a server, such as CPU activity, network bandwidth available, memory and disk usage, as well as applications such as Apache and MySQL process information. These resources are then sent to Panopta's central monitoring infrastructure where they are analyzed, aggregated and used to generate alerts to administrators when resource levels exceed prescribed thresholds. The results are also available in Panopta’s easy-to-use control panel, as well as in regular email and web-based reports.
“We have developed the Panopta Monitoring Agent to augment our current monitoring service. The Agent provides our customers with the cutting-edge tools to gain even more insight into their IT infrastructure and essentially improves their quality of service while also reducing their overhead (i.e. fewer support calls),” says Jason Abate, CEO and Founder of Panopta.
While the Panopta central monitoring infrastructure is a Software as a Service application, the Panopta Monitoring Agent is locally based, ensuring peak performance and durability for each server. The software can quickly and easily be installed on any customer server in a matter of minutes.
