Case Study: Green Olive Tree achieves reliable uptime and cost savings with Paessler PRTG

Green Olive Tree uses PRTG to punch above its weight and keep clients online

Green Olive Tree, a managed services and website hosting company led by Jon Berry, needed a flexible way to monitor and protect its clients’ servers and eCommerce sites. The business faced recurring issues such as slow or crashing servers, load spikes, website outages, and even cyberattacks that could disrupt customer operations. Paessler AG’s PRTG Network Monitor was used to provide the visibility needed to catch problems early and keep services online.

Using Paessler AG’s PRTG, Green Olive Tree built custom sensors and scripts to monitor Linux servers, web and email services, database health, page load times, and suspicious traffic. The solution helped detect read-only file system failures, DDOS activity, overloaded queries, and other performance bottlenecks before they caused downtime. As a result, Green Olive Tree reduced infrastructure costs by 25% and then another 15%, saving about $8,000 annually, while maintaining a 98% client retention rate.
