We already have an internal monitoring system, why would we need your system?
The Internet is a node/gateway based system. Your internal monitoring may tell you that a device is broken inside your network or even that the outbound gateway is having problems, but it may not inform you that inbound connections from different nodes on the Internet are able to access your website. Site Alert provides monitoring from various geographically diverse locations on different networks. |
