isyVmon ANO is a recommended extension to any isyVmon enterprise solution and provides an interface for additional, less common and more infrastructure independent means of notifications.
isyVmon Standalone, Core and Satellite systems in their traditional setup only allow notifications by email and scripted interfaces. Using the isyVmon ANO interface to handle notifications extends the currently available means of notifications within isyVmon monitoring solutions by SMS (directly via GSM or depending on your telecommunications provider’s available SMS center via ISDN/analog lines) and voice messages using text-to-speech and pre-assembled audio files via GSM, ISDN or analog lines.
Imagine it’s Friday night, full backups are scheduled to start 1:00 am and nobody noticed that the backup server is running quite low on disk space. Just after the backup job starts the space finally is too low to complete the operation. But wait you have a monitoring solution in place that triggers mail notifications and informs employees in charge. On Monday morning your IT department has a big surprise waiting, nobody actually received and read the mail notifications up until then. This is exactly where isyVmon ANO’s notification abilities would have helped informing the necessary people by SMS or voice. Actually telling them “Your backup server is running too low on disk space to successfully complete backup operations!” isyVmon ANO is a smart toolkit and an insurance for notifications. It makes sure monitoring messages can be delivered to their destinations in a less infrastructure dependent way using dedicated phone or GSM lines. Even in cases when you are confronted with problems such as notification killing mail server outages it will continue to stand up. Combine isyVmon ANO + SOS with an UPS and you can even circumvent loosing notifications during total power losses.
isyVmon ANO is a product that will easily advance your notification services level to enterprise reliable high availability grade notification services. Please contact our sales for more details on isyVmon ANO at sales(at)isyVmon.com
