Infrastructure Monitoring

 Cloud infrastructure monitoring software allows companies to visualize and track the performance of their cloud applications or services. 

These tools aggregate data in real time to display information related to a company’s cloud-based resources.

 These tools can track 

• application performance
•  network availability 
• resource allocation

  among other cloud-related factors.

     They are typically used by IT departments to ensure services are functioning optimally and securely while also ensuring no money is being spent unnecessarily.

What is Cloud Infrastructure?

Combination of

- Servers
- Software
- Network devices, and
- Other storage resources

It is these components, all of which are necessary to create applications that are then accessed via the cloud. These apps can be retrieved remotely over the internet, telecom services, WANs (wide area networks), and other network means.

To qualify for inclusion in the Cloud Infrastructure Monitoring category, a product must:

• Monitor the performance of cloud-based applications or services
• Visually map or display resources and cloud infrastructure
• Identify abnormal activity or performance
• Provide best practices to ensure optimal performance
