A Nanny for your Servers

How fast do you get notified when your network or server breaks down? With ServerNanny, you'll get notified immediately

Network administrators are constantly under pressure to
keep the network up all the time and they need to be notified immediately when a
server or network device goes down. Server Nanny can notify them within minutes
of a server breakdown, thus, helping reduce downtime. It's a network- and
server-monitoring software, which has various ways of alerting the concerned
person when a fault occurs. It can notify by sending an e-mail, SMS, by playing
a sound, or by running a custom script and many other methods. It can also be
configured to perform some actions like Starting/stopping/restarting services,
restarting and shutting down servers, and running custom executables in case of
a problem.

Server Nanny can monitor servers for disk space, CPU usage,
physical memory, processes, etc. Both Linux and Microsoft servers can be
monitored.
