Advantages of Remote Monitoring

Advantages of Remote Monitoring
By: Randy Marrone
Network and Security Engineer, SimplePowerIT

Have you had the misfortune of a PC failing at the beginning of a Monday morning, maybe right before a presentation? Have you had an update that you have been putting off for weeks that now just “has to run”? You will likely know how big a hassle all this can be.

Business interruptions cost money, but they also steal your valuable time.

Googling the issue, calling the coworker who is “good at computers,” or taking it to the local repair shop might be tempting to remedy the problem, but considering how much time you may have wasted, not to mention the surprise costs getting this fixed, it may make sense for you to consider other options.

Enter: Remote Monitoring.

Remote Monitoring adds another set of eyes to your company’s most mission critical devices. Think of Remote Monitoring like the alerts on a modern car, except instead of displaying on your dashboard, they show on the dashboard of your MSP (Managed Service Provider, such as SimplePowerIT).
