Many networks across business verticals use IBM devices. IBM's share of 23 percent of HTTP server domains paints a clear picture of the company's stature in the marketplace. A substantial amount of business-critical functions depend on the availability and up time of services on IBM servers, IBM storage utilization, and the smooth functioning of other IBM network devices.

Outages and unanticipated downtime of IBM devices could severely cripple operations and impact revenue profoundly. Making IBM Management a part of your routine and incorporating a dedicated, real-time IBM monitoring tool could help you avoid operational disasters.

Roadblocks encountered in the absence of IBM Monitoring

IBM appliances, or any other appliances for that matter, are susceptible to performance degradation from both external and internal factors; they will malfunction at some point. Without IBM network monitoring, predicting anomalies and measuring the extent of damage is difficult.

Obstacles faced without IBM performance monitoring tools in place:

• Server crash: IBM server crashes leading to the disruption of applications and the services running on them.
• Response delay: Increased response times due to exceeding IBM's recommended storage capacity, and inefficient storage space resulting from miscalculated storage forecasting.
• Service interruption: Disruption of IT operations caused by network device failures, such as IBM switches, routers, and firewalls.
• Security breach: Nework security breaches that pave the way for data misappropriations.
