monitiq - the service

• Providing rich statistics for deeper insights into capacity planning, utilisation and transition from physical to virtual environments, monitiq delivers high performance real-time alerting for proactive and preventive action and intelligently interprets critical systems data for rapid root-cause analysis, fault diagnosis and resolution.

  Delivered as a cloud service, monitiq offers industry-leading time-to-value with a novel, unified browser interface and mobile device access, allowing systems performance to be evaluated anytime, anywhere.

  monitiq offers:

  • Real-time alerting for proactive and preventative action
  • Intelligent interpretation for rapid root-cause analysis, fault diagnosis and resolution
  • Rich systems statistics for deep insights and capacity planning

monitiq - the concept

• All IT systems need constant monitoring and management. They all produce mountains of systems metrics and data about resource usage, throughput, hardware statuses, and so on. The challenge lies in making sense of all this data and in a timely way.

  monitiq interprets key systems metrics – transforming raw data into useful information - and presents this information in a consistent unified way. Rather than overloading the user with a deluge of data that needs to be sifted through to find what’s relevant, monitiq harnesses decades of human experience from technicians who’ve managed and supported IT systems and codifies this expertise into a simple dashboard. monitiq also brings this intelligence to aspects such as alerting offering very granular flexibility in setting ‘rules’ so that alerts are only issued when there is something genuinely important happening.

  The software was always intended to support on-going service delivery, whether that support is in-house or provided by a third-party. Consequently it is delivered as a subscription service on a ‘per-host’ basis avoiding the heavy up-front costs associated with traditional software offerings and allowing for pricing based on actual consumption of the service.

monitiq - the people

• monitiq is developed and supported by a team of passionate technical specialists. The software was initially borne out of the frustration caused by the absence of a best-of-need solution for monitoring mission-critical systems as part of a value-added support service.

  Taking a pragmatic approach to development and collaborating closely with customers, the team continues to enhance the software with new features and refined usability. Customer feedback and suggestions for functionality are always welcome, and frequently find their way into the software.

Real-Time Monitoring and Alerting

• Even with the most up-to-date and sophisticated technology, the complexity of modern systems means that from time-to-time there are outages or degradations in systems performance. At the same time, the demands from business grow greater and workloads increase. Managing a consistent or improving service level becomes more and more difficult.

  monitiq can alleviate the pressure on these challenges by equipping you with the information to avoid issues before they become critical.

  Alert notifications are triggered against user-defined thresholds and are delivered via SMS, e-mail and push notifications (on mobile devices). Customising these alerts means you can completely tailor your service to ensure you are only notified of those events that really matter.

  • System monitoring with real-time alerting to accurately pin-point the event and enable pre-emptive action to be taken before things become critical and service is affected;
  • Rich systems metrics to enable swift root-cause analysis and fault resolution so that disruption is minimised in the event of an unplanned outage or degraded system performance.

  monitiq’s agents capture detailed systems usage statistics, building a comprehensive data warehouse over time. Production of reports that build an accurate picture of exactly how your estate is performing is simplified and available in real-time for ad-hoc reporting or set up on a fixed basis to deliver at the most appropriate time.

  • Unified monitoring dashboard
  • Fully customisable, real-time alerting
  • Rapid, accurate root-cause analysis
  • Data warehousing of historical metrics
  • Easy, flexible reporting

Physical to Virtual (P2V) Optimisation

• You might have already been through significant virtualisation of your existing server estate or may be considering a new consolidation and virtualisation project, but how do you know whether the resulting virtual environment is optimised?

  With monitiq’s P2V Optimisation capabilities you get the information you need and can model different scenarios to achieve optimum results.

  monitiq examines the performance data collected from your servers to determine a suitable hardware platform capable of supporting the existing environments as a virtualised, consolidated infrastructure.

  The P2V Optimisation report includes detailed performance data on each individual system and a summary report identifying the recommended solution based on your current and future IT needs. The analysis covers:

  Recommended virtual infrastructure environment

  • CPU
  • Memory
  • Disk
  • Network
  • Infrastructure summary

  Virtualisation solutions

  • Single Server
  • Dual servers, Single storage
  • Dual servers, mirrored storage
  • Multiple servers, mirrored storage +DR replication
  • Integrated backup solutions or virtualuisation enablers for existing enterprise backup infrastructure

  Operational and business benefits

  • Power, heat and space savings from faster deployment
  • Simplified DR and backup strategy
  • Test, development and QA environments with lower overhead

  Server performance summaries

  • CPU usage
  • Memory usage
  • Disk usage
  • Network

  

  It is recommended that performance data is collected across a full calendar month to ensure any abnormal peak activity is collected. Using the performance data gathered by monitiq, a tabulated summary of those findings is recorded. These statistics are then used to determine the size and scope of possible hardware infrastructures. Where appropriate both average and maximum values will be stated, so that peak values can be taken into account.

  The results of this performance analysis are then used to estimate a suitable consolidated environment for the servers surveyed. Where appropriate, a summary is provided to show suitable upgrade possibilities and recommendation on what systems could provide consolidation benefits and a reduction in physical hardware.

Capacity Planning

• Significant investment in IT continues to feature in most organisation plans. But with a backdrop of on-going global economic uncertainty the challenge remains to do more with less (or possibly the same); provide increasingly responsive IT support to the business, accelerate the deployment of new initiatives, deliver greater analytical capabilities to stay competitive and many others.

  monitiq can help your efforts to deliver on these demands in a number of crucial areas by providing deep insights into systems data:

  • Resource utilisation - deploying workloads efficiently and optimally needs accurate targeting of the available precious, expensive resources;
  • Service levels - avoiding outages or degraded system performance means being informed of potential issues so that pre-emptive action can be taken. In situations where systems fail unavoidably, swift root-cause analysis is needed followed by rapid problem resolution;
  • Capacity planning - accurately assessing current and future requirements based on real, reliable data is necessary to enable internal business cases to be made for IT investments;
  • Cost reduction - making optimal use of existing technology could defer the need for additional IT expenditure for a considerable time. Additionally, existing support and system admin people resources can be freed-up to be redeployed onto more productive, value generating activities.

  monitiq offers rapid time-to-value with no up-front investment, delivering immediate benefits through deployment savings and instantaneous access to real-time monitoring. By analysing actual system utilisation in detail from the reporting suite, better informed business decisions can be made allowing you to plan future resource and capacity needs more effectively.

  • Deeper Insights
  • Improved service levels
  • Better resource planning
  • Rapid time-to-value
  • Highly flexible
  • No up-front capital expense
