Case Study: Zynstra achieves reliable edge monitoring at scale with Checkmk

Zynstra monitors 25,000 hosts with Checkmk

Zynstra, a provider of retail edge solutions, needed a monitoring tool to ensure its software ran at peak performance on the legacy IT infrastructures of its global retail customers. The challenge was to find an extremely lightweight solution that could be deployed automatically, required minimal hardware resources, and was highly scalable for a distributed environment with thousands of remote sites, all while maintaining reliability and compliance with industry standards like PCI-DSS. They turned to Checkmk to meet these requirements.

The solution was implemented using Checkmk Ultimate with Multi-Tenancy. Checkmk provided a small footprint that minimized hardware needs and enabled a fully automated, scalable deployment across more than 25,000 hosts. The results gave Zynstra full visibility into its applications and customer infrastructures from a single central site, ensuring service level agreements were met and a superior user experience was delivered. The Checkmk architecture also proved resilient, with local monitoring continuing to function even if the connection to the central site was interrupted.
