Dedicated Server Monitoring

WebHosting UK monitors all customer equipment and Datacenter infrastructure at all times. Our internal monitoring system is an open source code highly modified by our technicians to satisfy our customer needs. The IPAlert system monitors up to 16 different services over a private or public IP network without a client install. Our premium IPAlert system also includes a client based monitoring dedicated server application that will allow us to drill down and monitor all internal dedicated server services such as ram usage, CPU usage, applications, services, and internal temperature. The IPAlert system is available online 24/7/365 for viewing services and up to date statistical information. The IPAlert system also houses key escalation procedures designed and supplied by each customer to ensure the correct escalation path is utilized at the first sign of trouble. Our NOC personnel monitor the IPAlert system 24/7/365 from both Datacenter locations with technician’s onsite around the clock to assist you in your needs. Monitoring includes free “hands and eyes” service to all customers for emergency situations that require additional assistance.

WebHosting UK also monitors all internal Datacenter infrastructure through a commercial software application called Datatrax©. Datatrax allows our NOC technicians to monitor electrical, UPS, HVAC, and generator systems from their desktops. This information is key in controlling the datacenter environmentals and to make certain all equipment is housed in the most favorable conditions.

What are Managed Services?

We are glad you asked. WebHosting UK is now able to share our experience and knowledge in the server arena in the form of Managed Services.

If you lack the technical expertise to run a dedicated server or if you simply wish to allow us to administer your server to reduce overall costs, you are a potential client for Managed Services.

Managed Services includes, but is not limited to, server administration, security administration, firewall administration, data integrity and backup administration, database administration, load balancing, server clustering, advanced server monitoring, and administrative expertise. In short, you can lease a dedicated server from us and then lease the administrative expertise to maintain your server. The addition of a Managed Services contract to your dedicated server can give you added assurances of success in your business.
