Enterprise-Monitoring-GroundWork™-Monitor™-Open Source

Traditionally, faced with the hunt for a reliable and effective system monitoring tool, you had two not very palatable choices: proprietary systems that tend to be costly and cumbersome, or inexpensive but non-integrated open-source tools that can be both demanding to setup and lacking in key functionality.

Built on open architecture, GroundWork is a centralised network and systems monitoring solution operating right across Linux, Unix and Windows servers, applications, databases and network equipment. A resilient alternative to point solutions, it combines all the advantages of innovative open-source software with superior functionality, service-level reporting and professional support to offer unprecedented visibility and control across your entire IT landscape.

By unifying best of breed open-source projects, including Nagios, GroundWork delivers enterprise-ready systems and network-management software far more quickly and cost-effectively than expensive, inflexible closed-source alternatives.

A ‘Single Pane of Glass’
Accessed through a dashboard front-end interface, GroundWork enables IT management to get more information – on its operating systems, databases, business applications and networks – into the right hands quickly. This shift to a proactive service management strategy makes an enormous difference in helping identify and resolve incidents efficiently.
