Monitoring plays a crucial role in ensuring the reliability and availability of mission-critical communications systems.

Marcus Communications provides a custom server for centralized SNMP and Syslog monitoring.
This will monitor every network connected device in the system, including base stations, network switches, power systems, and GPS reference clocks. At each tower site, a hardware device can monitor status of doors, AC power, generators, transfer switch, HVAC, and temperature.

Configurable alarms in both the Monitoring server and hardware device will alert Marcus personnel to any system trouble on a 24/7 basis. We can also configure these alerts to be sent to any interested personnel.

Let’s Explore Why You Need System Monitoring:
Proactive Issue Detection

SNMP allows real-time monitoring of network devices, such as routers, switches, servers, and firewalls. It collects critical performance data (e.g., CPU utilization, memory usage, link status) and alerts administrators when thresholds are exceeded. Syslog captures system logs, including error messages, warnings, and events. By analyzing these logs, network administrators can identify issues before they escalate.

Fault Tolerance and Redundancy

In mission-critical environments, any downtime can have severe consequences. SNMP helps monitor device health, ensuring that redundant systems are operational. Syslog provides a centralized repository for logs, making it easier to troubleshoot failures and identify patterns.

Performance Optimization

SNMP data helps optimize network performance. By monitoring bandwidth utilization, administrators can allocate resources efficiently. Syslog reveals bottlenecks, anomalies, and performance degradation, allowing timely adjustments.

Security and Threat Detection

SNMP monitors security-related metrics (e.g., failed login attempts, unauthorized access). It detects anomalies that may indicate security breaches. Syslog captures security events, aiding in incident response and forensic analysis.

Capacity Planning

SNMP data assists in capacity planning. By tracking resource utilization trends, administrators can predict when upgrades or expansions are necessary. Syslog records historical events, helping assess long-term capacity requirements.

Compliance and Auditing

SNMP ensures compliance with industry standards (e.g., HIPAA, PCI DSS). It provides evidence of adherence to security policies. Syslog logs are essential for auditing purposes, demonstrating compliance with regulations.

Emergency Response and Troubleshooting

In emergencies, SNMP alerts administrators about critical failures (e.g., server crashes, link failures). Syslog logs help diagnose issues, enabling faster resolution.

Quality of Service (QoS)

SNMP monitors QoS parameters (e.g., latency, jitter, packet loss) for voice and video communication. Syslog captures QoS-related events, aiding in maintaining service levels.
