Manaaki Whenua - Landcare Research - Customer Case Study

Manaaki Whenua – Landcare Research, a New Zealand-based land environment research institute, faced a challenge managing its multi-user Linux workstations for scientific computing. Without a dedicated IT role for monitoring, they needed an intuitive and efficient solution to oversee system utilization. They turned to the vendor Netdata for its monitoring solution.

Netdata provided a simple-to-set-up platform that enabled remote monitoring via its cloud service. The solution offered detailed per-user utilization information and integration with third-party sensors, which was pivotal for tracking resources. This resulted in over 30 hours of saved chargeable time, a 50% improvement in application memory utilization, and the avoidance of 7 days of potential downtime for the customer.
