Key features of our policies include:
- Integrated fault, performance and security monitoring
- Best practices based on product research
- Policy templates to allow you to apply best practices
across multiple services
- Allows customization and tuning to your specific needs
- Coverage for virtually all devices, operating systems and applications
- Include basic and advanced policies to jump start your monitoring
Proactively monitoring fault, performance and security of an IT infrastructure is a constantly moving target. Knowing the
best way to monitor the health and performance of complex devices such as servers or firewalls can be time consuming.
But if you're like most engineering teams, your customers don't just have one make and model of a server or firewall –
they seem to have them all. And to make matters worse, new products and versions of products are continually being
released each month.
Dell recognizes you and your team do not have time to
research and implement best practices for all the infrastructures
you manage. So Dell has brought order to the chaos by
integrating out-of-the-box best practices for monitoring and
managing virtually all IT infrastructures with
pre-defined monitoring
policies. We have spent the
time researching each of our supported products – in many
cases by working directly with the vendors – and distilled
this into best practices monitoring policies that you can turn on with a single
click.
Our policies get you and your team up and running quickly without a time and labor-intensive setup process.
You can then tune our policies on the fly to suit your specific services and needs. And as with all our features, our best
practices are fully integrated, support VPNless deployments, and do not require agents.
