Monitor & manage networks, applications, data centers and clouds
Verax NMS is a highly scalable, integrated IT service assurance solution for cross-silos management & monitoring of networks, data centers, applications and clouds.
Verax NMS reduces costs of IT service delivery, shortens downtimes
and increases customer satisfaction levels through streamlining
processes of business service management, problem detection and
incident resolution.
Holistic approach to IT service assurance
Verax NMS can be applied for monitoring of:
■ Applications and IT services: local and cloud-based.
■ Corporate IT infrastructure: workstations, servers and virtualization.
■ Local (LAN) and wide (WAN) area networks and other communication systems (e.g. VoIP).
■ Data centers including all of the above as well as infrastructure elements: power supplies, HVAC devices, security devices and others.
Each of the above represents a complex case with every element of IT infrastructure being a potential point of failure. For today's modern business their network and applications are a vital part of the access to the customer requiring 24/7 reliability, availability and serviceability.
