For many CSPs, increasingly complex networks and immature technological solutions result in a typically long time to the detection and resolution of incidents that impact the customer experience, the brand’s reputation, and the bottom line. With RAN, Mobile and IP core, transport and applications and dozens of other integrated components, the network is one of the most complex areas to monitor.

Virtualization and cloud have forced the need for automation. In the “old” days, it would take weeks for a new physical server to arrive. There was little pressure to install and configure the operating system on it rapidly. We would insert a disc into the drive and then follow our checklist. A few days later, it would be ready to use.

The best part about uptime monitoring is that you can choose how often you’d like your site to be monitored.
