CITTIO Inc., the innovation provider in automated network and systems monitoring software, announced a new partnership with Data Storage Solutions Inc. (DSSI), a Provo, Utah-based value-added reseller (VAR) and provider of hardware and software solutions for medium-sized businesses. With this agreement, DSSI will now offer its clients network monitoring capabilities based on CITTIO’s automated WatchTower solution. DSSI currently serves the mid-market and public sector throughout the west and northwestern United States, excluding California. The company focuses on providing enterprise level infrastructure solutions, including business critical servers, storage, backup and services.
Today’s solutions for network and system monitoring cluster at the polar ends of the market, leaving mid-sized companies without viable options. On the low end sit the open-source solutions, which many consider too labor intensive to maintain and support. On the other end are the expensive commercial solutions, which most organizations still find too costly and complex to fully implement. CITTIO’s WatchTower is ideally suited for DSSI’s client base because it addresses the empty “middle space” that exists in between.
“Our customers can range from very small companies with just 2-3 servers to large organizations with upwards of 500-plus servers to manage,” said David Afleck, president, DSSI. “CITTIO is the perfect partner because WatchTower combines the full features you would expect from a core architecture designed to monitor and manage the world’s largest networks, with rapid implementation capabilities that scale up or down easily – a key requirement for mid-market success.”
“The manual configuration strategy of traditional network monitoring tools is no longer effective in today's evolving, mission-critical network environments that now encompass servers, applications and edge devices,” said Jamie Lerner, CEO, CITTIO, Inc. “With WatchTower, our reseller partners, such as DSSI, are able to offer a unique solution that automates the setup and maintenance of system monitoring, so performance and availability of hundreds or thousands of network nodes is tracked in a fraction of the time it would take to configure manually.”
Optimized for large and mid-sized businesses, CITTIO’s WatchTower can monitor multiple networks with a single system while permitting user groups to view only their own network performance. By combining a platform-agnostic, web-based architecture with capabilities for agent-free discovery, built-in alarms and notifications, automatic latency monitoring, graphing and thresholding, resellers like DSSI can offer customers the complete system control and network visibility needed to eliminate downtime and reduce costs.
