What is Remote Monitoring and Control?
Data center monitoring services provide you the most current information about your systems and equipment availability with a comprehensive picture of how your servers are performing. Server uptime, server performance, and end user monitoring reports are viewable through the OTPortal, delivering an on-demand web-based view into your server performance data 24 x 7 x 365.
Remote Control gives you the ability to control your servers over the internet at the physical interface level with our Internet-based KVM (keyboard, video and mouse) and remotely reboot your servers over the Internet with remote rebootable power.
Our monitoring and control services complement each other to give you the right information at the right time and allowing you to control your data center anytime, anywhere.

Why Consider Remote Monitoring and Control from Online Tech?
Online Tech has developed a comprehensive server monitoring system to centrally monitor every device in our data center with an industry-standard framework. Each device or server is connected to the monitoring system using a monitoring probe or software. Monitoring data is collected based on pre-configured thresholds, limits, capacities, and other variables. Each monitored element can be configured to your unique requirements together with industry best practices.
Monitoring data is then continuously reported to a centralized administrative monitoring system. The historical and real-time data is always available to you at the OTPortal which every Online Tech client receives for additional charge.
When an error is detected or threshold is exceeded, monitoring alerts are sent to the customer by email, or SMS text messaging. Monitoring alerts can then be analyzed to ensure errors are corrected and systems are functioning within normal limits.
With remote KVM and power control, you can go beyond tele-netting into your servers. KVM gives you access to the keyboard, video and mouse ports to directly control your server at the bios level. Remote power control lets you reboot your server from anywhere in the world at a physical power level..
Online Tech uses the same tools to continuously monitor and control our critical data center infrastructure, network and environmental systems in addition to monitoring regular customer network devices and servers.
How to Buy Remote Monitoring and Control.
