Monitoring is now as important as the technological infrastructure of a IT system. Monitoring is not considered as important as the technological adequacy of the information processing infrastructure.

But monitoring IT infrastructure is important for attributing productivity, performance, and usability issues. Monitoring the IT infrastructure includes:

•  Hardware – Physical state
• Operating system – utilization and consumption
• Network – bandwidth consumption and errors
• Application – performance and availability

IT infrastructures are deployed as private, cloud and hybrid. The biggest challenges are keeping all the facts in check, quickly identifying and connecting issues before they eventually impact efficiency. IT Infrastructures are getting denser and more complex every day. Preventing problems and creating a more efficient IT infrastructure is ensured by healthy monitoring.

When designing monitoring IT infrastructure;

• Efficiency
• Scalability
• Predictability
• Consumption

Factors should be considered for resources. A structure built on these fundamentals provides a more realistic environment for healthier and forward-looking investments. When implementing IT infrastructure monitoring in an organization, the following questions should be considered:

-What should we monitor? (Hardware, operating system, virtualization, network, application)

-What might go wrong? (Hardware errors and problems, Lack of resources in operating systems (Windows, *nix), Abuse of virtual structures, insufficient network resources, Errors in applications)

-What to do if a problem is detected?  (Automating the OS commands and scripts for the solution, prioritizing the warnings with high importance with SMS, e-mail applications…)

-What kind of reporting is suggested? (analytical performance-based, capacity planning, error history, service level)

IT infrastructure is more effective and usable with the answers to these problems and business continuity and prediction problems contribute to the organization and its values.

A monitorable structure is achieved with this approach. Predictability is increased with point solutions and future investments become more than simple predictions. Monitoring makes the organization more competent in IT while supporting the maturation of the IT infrastructure.

At Tecron, we help you choose the right solution at the right time by building your IT infrastructure with a healthier, trackable, scalable and efficient structure.
