• Data centre consolidation projects have been underway for years and it is time for agencies to modernise their monitoring and management tools
• Network devices and systems have standardised, eliminating the need for proprietary or customised monitoring solutions
• Many of the “enterprise” solutions are very expensive
• Having a broad set of tools from different vendors wastes money and is sub-optimal
• Governments across Europe are promoting consolidation to reduce expensive and fragmented software purchases
• It’s time to consolidate and modernise your tools and take advantage of our affordable pricing, and other benefits
