Data Migration

The Need for Active IT Infrastructure Management

For any company, their IT infrastructure is one of the most important resources which they need to keep the business running. The infrastructure consists of hardware, software, and network systems working together to provide data services for the entire company.

With a constantly evolving IT landscape, and newer and more powerful types of malware threatening the safety of entire networks, it becomes essential to put in place a system of network maintenance and protection that not only responds to external attacks and internal problems.

but also actively seeks out possible problem patterns and resolves them before they transform from a possible risk to certain danger.

Thus, the company can gain insights into issues before the end-user knows about them, and resolve them right from the beginning.

Agent Based Monitoring

An agent keeps a watchful eye on all the applications in use, in order to intercept any type of behavior deemed suspicious and a possible threat, by collecting and analyzing the relevant performance-based data.

IT Management Practices

Taking a proactive approach to managing the health of your IT infrastructure involves implementing various types of ongoing monitoring activities, which are mainly divided into two categories:

Agentless Monitoring

This form of monitoring is in turn divided into two parts:

1. Local Mode – When you have an application running on the same physical or virtual device and are able to collect the necessary data using specific log files or application programming interface, or through calculating performance based metrics from base capabilities of the infrastructure.
2. Appliance Mode – Running a specific piece of hardware or software from a remote location which is separate from the target environment but is able to collect the necessary data through a network system connection.
