Passive Infrastructure Monitoring Frees Up Time And Resources For Active Business Transformation

Managing legacy data center systems can be frustratingly slow and painfully tedious. Every server requires manual configuration. Every log requires active monitoring. Every alert requires investigation.
With speed and agility becoming increasingly paramount in the business world, it's no wonder why many companies have shifted some or all of their IT resources to the cloud.
But the cloud isn't for everyone.
As countless companies learned in the aftermath of hasty, pandemic-driven cloud migrations, there are often hidden costs. Most organizations simply look at the number of VMs needed and the price per VM, and they fail to consider egress fees and ancillary services, which can add up quickly. Cloud services can also be problematic for companies in highly regulated industries - like healthcare and financial services - that have stringent data and privacy requirements.
