Case Study: Petrofac achieves centralized, accurate offshore IT monitoring and increased productivity with Nagios

Energy Solutions Giant Sees Increased Capabilities, Productivity by Deploying Nagios

Petrofac Malaysia Ltd, an energy services provider, was overhauling its ICT environment for HQ and offshore MOPUs and worried about a proliferation of monitoring tools. Their offshore floating rig’s satellite link suffered high latency and occasional disconnects, which caused monitored systems to appear offline and generated false positives and incorrect historical performance data in Nagios.

Nagios deployed a Nagios appliance on the rig synchronized with the Nagios instance at HQ, consolidating monitoring and filtering only critical events. The Nagios solution eliminated the false positives and incorrect historical data, centralized visibility (single-pane monitoring), captured reliable historical performance metrics, and restored timely email/SMS alerts—boosting Petrofac’s monitoring capabilities and IT productivity at low cost.
