Remote Network Security Management
|
|
|
| Maintaining your network security while
identifying hidden weaknesses is not always an easy task. And devoting
the IT resources needed to regularly monitor your network is often an
additional burden. But you can ease both challenges by outsourcing
your network monitoring tasks to the experts at Marco. Marco’s
Network Data Center utilizes state-of-the-art software to remotely
manage any security alerts associated with possible attacks from
outside your network and provides you with 24x7 network security
management and support.
If you are a small to medium size business with numerous PCs,
servers, and a Web site – but a small IT staff – remote network
monitoring may prove to be an ideal solution.
Here's why:
|
|
• |
Predict Network Problems
Sooner
Using remote network monitoring software, Marco can spot
many potential problems before they become catastrophes. For
example, our software can give priority warnings if you have too
much traffic in one area of your network or if a CPU on your
server is approaching maximum utilization, thus increasing its
likelihood of a crash. It can also spot failed backups, virus
attacks, and patterns of bandwidth congestion. This advance
warning gives our network engineers plenty of time to fix these
small problems before they escalate into bigger — and perhaps
costlier — ones. |
|
• |
Reduce IT Labor Costs
By outsourcing your network monitoring, you no longer
need to employ a dedicated IT specialist to perform these tasks.
We can simply monitor your network from our office, and alert you
to any potential problems via your pager or e-mail. We can
determine the investment of outsourcing your remote network
monitoring based on how many systems, devices, IP addresses or
routers need to be monitored, and what other services are being
provided. |
|
• |
Optimize Network
Performance
By having your network usage and health monitored at all times,
you can increase your network performance. For example, remote
network monitoring software can identify when one server is
running at 99-percent capacity, while another is only running at
40-percent capacity. Using this data, we may be able to shift some
of that load over to another server and increase overall
performance.
