Expanding Services Monitoring for Small Sites

Expanding Services Monitoring to Small sites has always been a challenge, especially in environments where there are large numbers of relatively small sites. While these sites may be physically ‘small’ they are all very important to the overall business service delivery. This model includes enterprise businesses like retail, branch based financial organizations, educational institutions, as well as providers who deliver services to home and small office.

Some of the challenges to monitoring these include:

How can StableNet’s Embedded Agent (SNEA)® technology solve this problem?

Typical use cases

Typical use cases using StableNet® SNEA can be summarized as follows:

1) Use SNEAs for monitoring availability and service performance on larger numbers of small sites/offices, instead of an uneconomical, often not applicable shadow router: Jitter, RTT, etc.

2) Use SNEAs to run plug-in/scripts in distributed small sites, e.g. if you have:

3) Use SNEAs to measure E2E tests like:

4) Use of SNEA to execute IP, data or VoIP reference calls via mobile sticks

5) “Next-Hop” measurements - Monitor entire distribution and infrastructure chains by performing cost-efficient “Next-Hop” monitoring, e.g. IP: IP-SLA type measurements like Jitter, delay, RTT, packet loss, ICMP Echo/Ping or encoded traffic simulation

6) Use of SNEA to independently monitor IP connected equipment like:

These are just a few examples of how StableNet can expand Services Monitoring to high numbers or remote sites in a highly functional, yet cost effective manner. How will you monitor your remote sites?
