SOS: Small, smart and everywhere!

25.11.2011

The Small Office Satellite (SOS) is a small dedicated fan-less low-power monitoring hardware appliance. It incorporates all the features and functions that a full isyVmon Satellite has to offer. It can also be configured as a Restricted Satellite for more secure and restrict network environments just as its big brother. But its hardware limitations can only serve checking around 50 services or 30 hosts (Depending on the types and frequency of checks). Which has proven to be ideal for most small remote locations!

Consider the following setup: You have a small external office that is integrated into your companies intranet but unfortunately only has a low bandwidth connection. Therefore you chose to replicate some of the services required for daily work to a set of on-site low-end workstations acting as servers. Computing power is sufficient enough to provide employees on-site with all the necessary services, but what you don't have and don't want on-site  is an expensive hardware and power consuming loud virtualization server for running a common isyVmon Satellite monitoring system. This scenario is one of many that the Small Office Satellite was created for.

Or maybe your company has a very distributed infrastructure that has dozens or even hundreds of small remote locations that effectively need to be monitored without having to setup full fledged virtualization servers to solely host satellite monitoring systems at each site. Even not taking into account the amount of work necessary to deploy so many servers on a distributed enterprise scale the cost-benefit analysis is a nightmare. Again isyVmon SOS will make your day! Not only will the hardware limitations in most cases likely be more than sufficient. It's even a lot cheaper than its big brother or any virtualization server hardware.
