Top Windows Server Performance for Business Success
Microsoft Windows technologies form a core part of most IT infrastructures. While Microsoft Exchange is widely used for enterprise email, Internet Information Server (IIS) powers a majority of all web servers on the Internet. Microsoft SQL server is a scalable database platform of choice, and the Active Directory server is widely being used to maintain and manage access lists and credentials.
Fast, accurate problem diagnosis can improve service uptime, improve customer satisfaction, reduce operational costs, and increase the effectiveness of the IT administrators.
Key Challenges:
- Ensure Windows servers are available and resource usage is optimal
- Identify slowdowns anywhere across your infrastructure before users are impacted
- Manage future growth and capacity planning
- Monitor Windows AND your heterogeneous IT infrastructure from a single console
- Communicate performance trends to management and exec with out-of-the-box and custom reporting
eG Enterprise for Windows Monitoring
eG Enterprise offers comprehensive management of Microsoft servers and applications. Pre-defined models of the operating system and individual applications (web server, mail server, database, etc.) incorporated in eG Enterprise dictate what are the key operating system and application metrics that are to be collected in real-time by an eG agent. Each agent compares the metrics it collects against auto-generated or manually configured thresholds, and generates personalized alerts to operators as and when appropriate. Pre-defined hierarchical models for most popular applications, included as part of eG Enterprise, are used to correlate across the collected metrics to differentiate between the cause and effects of a problem.

Key Features
- Through a unique combination of agent-based and agentless monitoring capabilities, eG Enterprise allows administrators to choose which of these contrasting monitoring modes is ideal for each of the servers in the infrastructure
- eG's flexible agent deployment and licensing model ensures cost-effective monitoring of the target infrastructure
- Monitoring is performed with very little overhead on the target systems
- For small and medium businesses that commonly deploy multiple applications on the same system (for example, an IIS web server and a Microsoft SQL server database), a single agent is capable of monitoring all of these diverse applications
- Auto-upgradable agents requires near zero maintenance
- eG Enterprise automatically correlates performance across the infrastructure tiers to identify the root-cause of problems
- Extensive out-of-the-box and custom reporting assists administrators in understanding the bottlenecks in their infrastructure
