A Complete Solution that addresses all of your Business Continuity Planning Needs
Unlike enterprises, many smaller companies cannot afford optimal in-house strategies and solutions in service of Business Continuity Planning (BCP).These companies are consequently at an elevated risk of being put out of business due to any major loss of data. Loss of data could mean emails lost, accounting data lost, patient or client files lost, company records lost, client legal records or orders lost and so on. Smaller companies who are unable or unwilling to invest in the human expertise and infrastructure support systems necessary for data-oriented BCP can leverage ProperCC’s data backup and recovery solution.
Highlights of ProperCC’s data backup and recovery solutions:
ProperCC proactive managed service offering consisting of monitoring and diagnostic software allowing ProperCC to watch all of our customer's servers, networks (and optionally workstations) - without having to be on-premise to do so. With ProperCC's our customer's get the following unique benefits:
Managed Service Offering Features:
|
|
Site Down |
Each customer site is continuously monitored by ProperCC’s Proactive Network Monitor back end servers. If the site drops off of the Internet, ProperCC’s Proactive Network Monitor issues an alarm. This "out-of-band" monitoring works without relying upon any working computers at the customer site to issue the alarm. |
|
|
Internet Down |
The ProperCC’s Proactive Network Monitor Gateway continuously monitors the ability to access the outside Internet from the customer site. By default this monitor checks access to common public web sites like Google, but it can also be configured to specifically watch the WAN link that our customer is paying for. |
|
|
Server Down |
The ProperCC’s Proactive Network Monitor Gateway continuously monitors each server at its site. If a server misses a check-in interval, a server down alarm is issued. This alarm can be augmented with a backup ICMP ping from the Gateway to the server if desired. |
|
|
LAN Latency |
The Latency over the LAN between each server and the ProperCC’s Proactive Network Monitor Gateway is continuously monitored. An Alert is generated if the latency rises over the threshold for the specified period of time. |
|
|
Event Log Monitoring |
The Application and System Event Logs are automatically collected for all monitored Windows servers. Events can be easily browsed in the Event Log Viewer for any server. Templates contain details for specific types of servers, like watching for datastore events on Oracle ECM, Microsoft SharePoint & Exchange Servers. Alerting for Event Log errors can easily be turned on, and unwanted Event Log Alerts can be easily filtered out with Alarm Management. |
|
|
Resource Monitoring and Snapshots |
CPU, Memory, Disk, Thread, and Handle usage are monitored every 10 seconds on a per process instance and per user basis. When an issue occurs, a snapshot of the system state is taken that allows our Support Professional to see exactly what was happening when the problem occurred. |
|
|
Installed Software Change Monitoring |
Any change to the installed set of hot fixes, security updates, or installed applications is automatically detected and alerted upon. Changes to the section of the registry (run, run once) that are used to launch programs are also automatically detected and alerted upon. |
|
|
Network Device Monitoring |
ProperCC’s Proactive Network Monitor can monitor the availability of any device that can respond to an ICMP Ping, and can monitor the inbound and outbound bandwidth utilization of any network device that supports SNMP 2.0. |
|
|
Web Site Response Time Monitoring |
Any Server or Workstation with ProperCC’s Proactive Network Monitor Agent can monitor the response time of any web site that is accessible to that server. This allows ProperCC to establish both "outside in" monitors of our customers' critical web sites, as well as monitors that access the performance and availability of internal web resources. |
|
|
Citrix ICA Response Time Monitoring |
ProperCC’s Proactive Network Monitor can monitor the response time of any Citrix Server from any server that has ProperCC’s Proactive Network Monitor Agent installed. This is an excellent way to determine how responsive Citrix Servers are to connection requests from ICA workstations and Web Interface Gateways. |
|
|
Port Availability and Integrity Monitoring |
ProperCC’s Proactive Network Monitor can monitor the availability of required ports (80 and 443 on a web server), banned ports (for example the FTP ports on a web server), and "white listed" ports that are allowed to come and go. Exceptions to these Port policies are immediately alerted upon. |
|
|
Service and Process Monitoring |
Automatically started services are all continuously monitored, and alerts are generated if one of them stops. Individual processes for certain server types (like store.exe for Exchange Servers) are also monitored. Additional individual services and processes can be easily added for any set of servers or workstations. |
|
|
Application Crash Monitoring |
Any application crash is automatically detected and alerted upon. If Dr. Watson is enabled, the Dr. Watson log is parsed for the fault that caused the crash. This information is presented in the snapshot diagnostics that come with the alarm. |
