Watchful eye software ensures business continuity
18/10/2009
Data centre specialist MDS Technologies has completed development of the latest version of its advanced server monitoring and alerting software suite.
AMAR II (Assessing, Monitoring, Alerting and Reporting) monitors a wealth of variables from server temperature, fan speed and environmental humidity to power usage, connectivity and bandwidth usage.
"The principal of business continuity is at the hub of data centre management and AMAR II is at the hub of our operations, helping us to deliver the highest levels of availability for our clients," said Phil Dawson, MDS Technologies’ Managing Director.
"The software suite enables us to take infrastructure management and route cause analysis to a new level, allowing us to predict potential problems before they happen."
Encoded within AMAR II is an alerting system with tiered priority levels based on the nature and extent of tolerance breaches. Alerts to IT engineers include pager, email and text message notifications.
"AMAR II has been 18 months in development and follows tens of thousands of pounds worth of investment," Phil added.
"As one of the most sophisticated server monitoring software suites of its kind, it will prove pivotal to MDS Technologies’ ongoing expansion and development."
