More business are joining what was once called the Internet revolution. Increasingly more businesses rely on E-Commerce to generate profit.

 

Small business Small businesses rely on web services to provide an interactive interface for their existing and potential new customers. It is through that interface that they intercommunicate and perform electronic transactions. Owning reliable equipment is crucial to achieving success.   Large enterprise Generally speaking, large enterprises provide a wide range of internet-based services such as Web, FTP, Telnet or SSH, remote access software and E-Commerce. Web presence provides a window into the enterprise's mission and services.   Reliability doesn't encompass your equipment alone, it also involves internet links, ISP routers and their equipment as well, which can fail at any time. You need to be assured that your equipment is connected to the Internet 24/7.
Mission critical applications Hosting companies, Banking and E-Commerce websites are what is labeled mission critical applications. Mission critical applications need to be monitored every minute 24/7 and the alert must given special attention.   Red alert If your mission critical application stops responding, ServerScanner labels this situation as a 'Red Alert'.  ServerScanner will try the impossible to make sure you and your administrators are contacted.
When disaster strikes When disaster strikes, whether it be in form of Operating System failure, hard drive crash, fire or theft, you should be alerted immediately in order to reduce the amount of downtime. Downtime equal loss of business and more important, loss of trust. You need to be informed as soon as possible of such an event. You also need to have a disaster/recovery plan in place and begin executing it.   Disaster / Recovery procedure One of the most important issues to address when engineering a network is to take into account disaster situations. A disaster/recovery procedure must be written and tested. When disaster strikes procedures must be followed in order to limit downtime and get services back up as soon as possible.
