Today, companies are directly linked to their branch offices, customers, partners and suppliers. Besides good quality services, this also demands high performance and the availability of applications, networks and servers.

The focus of server management is the supervision of the (operating) system resources and server applications. Specifically, it has to do with the performance of the services provided by the server.

Automated, proactive management and monitoring systems supported by analysis and suitable measuring procedures are necessary for the performance management of servers, networks and applications. These systems produce trend and performance statistics data and show the end-to-end performance from the user’s point of view.

Through server management, service quality is improved, the IT infrastructure is optimised, investments can be planned better and more efficiently, IT employee and enduser productivity is increased, and information is available about the response times of the applications on the servers.
