Providing services under stringent Service Level Agreements (SLAs) to monitor and manage mission-critical Servers for businesses of any size is a common challenge you will most likely face while providing technology services.
With competition growing by the day, you need to avoid having a reactive style of providing services and provide a service style that is more proactive and preventive maintenance oriented.
You can no longer wait for the client to call you to inform that their Server is down or their e-mail application is running slow. 24×7 server monitoring and remediation services with up to 30 minutes response time are getting popular among small and medium businesses (SMBs).
