Nagios monitors your entire IT infrastructure to ensure systems, applications, services, and business processes are functioning properly. In the event of a failure, Nagios can alert technical staff of the problem, allowing them to begin remediation processes before outages affect business processes, end users, or customers. With Nagios, you’ll never be left having to explain why an unseen infrastructure outage hurt your organization’s bottom line.
