Why Network Monitoring is Important

Network monitoring is an essential IT process to ensure components are working optimally. Agio fosters the highest quality network monitoring processes for real-time efficiencies and infrastructure visibility.

What is Network Monitoring?

Your company involves several IT elements that make up your network. Network monitoring is how you keep track of all the hardware and software resources, including routers, Wi-Fi, servers, switches, and firewalls. This process extends to all your network devices, such as business phones, computers, laptops, and smart software.

To detect and correct network performance issues, network monitoring incorporates different roles:

• Fault management identifies, repairs, and documents potential errors.
• Configuration management prevents the most common reason for network outages.
• Performance management regularly checks that all IT components are updated and responding appropriately.
• Accounting management documents network utilization information for company bookkeeping and cost management.
• Security management ensures your network is actively protected and is only accessible by authorized users.

Reasons to Implement Network Monitoring

Network monitoring offers several important roles to make your IT network more reliable. When these roles work together, they provide:

• Increased security and compliance: Network monitoring looks out for regular patterns and anomalies to catch potential security breaches or unauthorized attempts before they happen.
• Quick detection and resolutions: If an anomaly is detected in the company’s metrics, network monitoring systems will quickly alert your company of the issue and make a note of when and where it occurred. Your security team can then take immediate action, minimizing downtime and any potential for the breach to get worse.
• Peak performance efficiency: When your network works the way it should, so will your employees. Focusing on a network outage can stop productivity — instead, your IT department can streamline its efforts toward more critical business projects.
• Enhanced user experience: Ensuring everything is working smoothly makes for a good day in the office. Having efficient technology can enhance employee productivity, which can then positively affect your customers’ experiences.
