The Drax Group were looking to potentially replace their current monitoring solution of primarily Nimsoft (but also comprising of other toolsets such as Solarwinds, Spotlight etc) and consolidate into a single pane of glass approach where possible. In addition enhancing monitoring into deeper areas such as application performance and workload monitoring.

Benefits

Drax benefited from:

  • A single pane of glass for monitoring of services
