- What data centre management & monitoring services do we offer at Workspace?
Workspace Technology provides a wide range of mission-critical management and monitoring solutions that are scalable to meet demands from small communications rooms, server rooms, to large-scale multi-site data centre deployments.
The ability to alert a business to disasters or potential performance issues at the earliest moment is paramount. If a business can prevent a disaster or the occurrence of ‘over capacity’, it can safeguard against associated disruptions such as waiting for replacement systems or relocating staff to a recovery centre. Therefore, the management and monitoring of systems is essential to ensuring continued availability and performance during the lifecycle of any critical data centre or server room environment.
Our structured approach to management and monitoring solutions is based on a tiered architecture. This architecture enables us to scale our solutions to meet the demands of small communications rooms and server rooms through to large-scale data centre deployments.
