Comments we
hear: We already do our own monitoring
We plan to do the monitoring ourselves
We don't need monitoring
We can't afford monitoring
If
this describes your data center operation, welcome to the world of
Unpredictable Chaos. This is Level Zero in the
IT Management Process Maturity Model.

Is your mission to keep your network running reliably or
to save a few bucks by using cut rate monitoring products? |
Self monitoring is sort of like a Patient self medicating
Can
you save money by not seeing a Doctor and by buying
discount drugs over the
Internet?
Absolutely! But is it worth your health and possibly your life to save a
couple of bucks?
"Electing" one of your overworked Admins to investigate free monitoring tools and to install
and maintain them is not going to solve the
real IT problems you have!
And unless the
Admin you assign is REALLY inexpensive, your "free" monitoring
exercise is likely to end up being a lot more expensive than we are!

Would you remove your own appendix if it would save you money? |
Many Customers we've talked with are already doing
some type of self monitoring using various free or almost free tools. You
can certainly save some money going this route but for the most part, IT
Organizations that have tried this have found the experience to be
disappointing. Why?
Free monitoring software is worth every penny you paid for it.
Monitoring your network with these types of tools is certainly better than
nothing. But it is unreasonable to expect that these products are going to provide
anything even close to the level of coverage and comprehensiveness that professional grade
monitoring software does.

FREE MONITORING: Worth every penny you paid for it! |
Why are you considering monitoring in the first place.
Is your
key objective to "save money" or is it to
keep your network up and running more reliably?
