Network Monitoring

USER CONTEXT & CHALLENGES

The Growing Need for Comprehensive Network Monitoring

In today’s fast-paced, interconnected world, network downtime can mean significant losses in revenue and productivity. Businesses rely on increasingly complex networks to support operations, yet maintaining network performance and availability across multiple locations, cloud services, and remote teams can be challenging. Network administrators need real-time visibility and control over network health to prevent outages, address bandwidth issues, and secure sensitive data.

Modern network infrastructure often involves a mix of on-premises devices like routers, switches, firewalls, and WiFi access, alongside cloud-based services and SaaS applications. In addition to performance, security is a growing concern for modern networks. The rise of new network technologies such as SD-WAN (Software-Defined Wide Area Networking) and SASE (Secure Access Service Edge) is changing the way organizations manage both connectivity and security.

Monitoring all these elements and their interdependencies in a unified platform is crucial for ensuring optimal performance and service delivery. These technologies offer advanced capabilities but add more complexity, making monitoring crucial to ensure they are deployed efficiently and securely.

Centreon provides a powerful, unified platform to manage your entire network ecosystem from a single pane of glass. By collecting, visualizing, and analyzing performance data from these devices, Centreon ensures that any performance degradation is detected early, allowing for faster troubleshooting and reduced downtime.

Centreon monitors end-to-end business processes and automatically measures operational processes availability rate to create SLA reports. All your critical business processes rely on the network infrastructure for optimal performance. Monitoring the network performance is not enough, what you really need is the overall picture about how business processes are impacted by network performance.

HOW WE DO IT

Proactive, Real-Time Monitoring in Action

Centreon Auto-Discovery feature scans for new devices and automatically incorporates them into the monitoring environment, ensuring comprehensive coverage as your network evolves.

By integrating seamlessly with network management protocols like SNMP, ICMP, or by requesting network controllers APIs, Centreon Connectors pulls vital metrics on latency, bandwidth usage, packet loss, and device status. Alerts are triggered automatically when preset thresholds are breached, enabling proactive maintenance and troubleshooting. 

Centreon Service Mapping measures the performance of services by modeling IT service maps for each business-critical IT workflow. Centreon links business processes to network infrastructure, giving you a complete picture of digital performance. IT availability is continuously calculated and tracked against SLAs, visible in dashboards so that business and IT KPIs are always in sync.

Centreon Dashboards lets network administrators create personalized real-time dashboards that can be shared with all stakeholders. This real-time data helps network administrators maintain full control and visibility, ensuring no aspect of the network is left unchecked.

Graphical Views give easy-to-read graphical representations of your network or application architecture.Drill-down from a high-level architecture view to more detailed infrastructure diagrams, all the way down to the individual equipment that is experiencing a problem.

Capacity Planning reports highlight past bandwidth consumption patterns and predict future trends. Along with dedicated electricity consumption reports, the Capacity Planning reports list those equipment which are either under-utilized or running out of capacity in order to accurately adapt their sizing to IT usage. Right-sizing not only saves cost but most importantly ensures an environmentally-friendly IT infrastructure.

By monitoring your network with Centreon, businesses can ensure that critical services remain uninterrupted, improving overall performance and ensuring service availability. This in turn helps to minimize operational costs, reduce downtime, and maintain strong network security. The insights derived from Centreon’s network monitoring capabilities empower IT teams to make data-driven decisions that align with business goals, from capacity planning to service optimization.

Centreon’s network monitoring solution is built for modern businesses that rely on resilient, scalable networks. Whether your infrastructure spans multiple physical locations, integrates with cloud services, or supports remote workforces, Centreon provides the visibility and control needed to ensure peak performance and security across your entire network. Enhance your IT operations with Centreon’s intelligent, automated network monitoring and drive greater business efficiency and service reliability.
