Open-tube Names LogicMonitor one of the Top Seven Cloud Monitoring Services

According to a recent press release, hosted data center monitoring provider, LogicMonitor, has been named one of the Top 7 Cloud Monitoring Services by Open-tube, a leading IT blog covering telecom, applications, and systems integration. Based in Santa Barbara, LogicMonitor is a strong advocate of delivering monitoring services from the cloud instead of relying on premise-based tools.

“Aside from efficiencies gained from not having to own or manage additional IT assets, a hosted monitoring solution adds a critical layer of redundancy,” says Steve Francis, founder and chief product officer at LogicMonitor, in a statement. “With premise-based monitoring, if a company’s network goes down, your entire warning system goes down with it. With LogicMonitor’s redundant data center architecture, monitoring remains intact, enabling you to prevent potentially costly business interruptions.”

This latest recognition, combined with LogicMonitor’s earlier Best of SaaS (News - Alert) Showplace Award help solidify LogicMonitor as a leader in simplifying IT management. LogicMonitor is one of the few monitoring tools capable of providing a single-pane view of complex multi-vendor data center environments, including NetApp, Amazon, VMware, Citrix, Cisco (News - Alert), F5, SonicWall, HP, Dell, Microsoft, and more.

The company’s  hosted architecture ensures easy deployment, as well as a completed network monitoring solution, without having to travel to the customer site. Access to performance graphs, dashboards, and reports will be granted to the users remotely through their own Web portal and DataVox engineers will be proactively notified of any issues via e-mail or SMS.

In related news, LogicMonitor recently announced a partnership with Loggly, a cloud-based log management company, for monitoring applications and infrastructure. Their partnership is expected to benefit system administrators, app developers, and management from the most complete picture available of operations – covering performance, availability and log management – in a fraction of the setup time, and with no infrastructure to own or maintain.
