In a connected business environment, the network is the central nervous system. When it fails, everything fails: email, applications, remote access, payments. That is why monitoring it continuously is not optional — it is a business requirement.

What is 24/7 Network Monitoring?

It consists of continuously observing the state of all network devices (routers, switches, servers, access points) to detect anomalies before they become failures.

What can be detected?

  • Saturation: links operating at 90-100% of their capacity
  • Abnormal latency: services that respond slower than normal
  • Device failures: switch or router that went offline
  • Security attacks: DDoS, port scans, brute force attempts
  • Configuration changes: someone altered a firewall rule

What tools do we use at Zelarus?

We use Zabbix as our central monitoring platform, deployed in each client’s infrastructure. It allows us to:

  • Send real-time alerts via email and Telegram
  • Generate historical graphs and reports
  • Proactively detect problems before users notice them

With 24/7 monitoring, we stop reacting to problems and start preventing them.
