Case Study: RTV Noord achieves proactive 24/7 ICT monitoring with Paessler PRTG

Optimally available ICT for RTV Noord thanks to PRTG

RTV Noord, the regional TV and radio broadcaster in Groningen, needed better visibility across its critical ICT environment to prevent outages that could disrupt live broadcasts. Before working with Paessler AG, the team was mostly “extinguishing fires” instead of proactively managing systems, and they lacked a simple, accurate way to monitor everything from network devices and UPS units to internet usage and server-room conditions. They chose Paessler AG’s PRTG Network Monitor to gain continuous insight into their infrastructure.

With Paessler AG’s PRTG, RTV Noord implemented 24/7 monitoring and instant push notifications via the app for issues such as silence on the radio line, black images, network load spikes, and rising temperatures in server rooms. The solution helped the ICT team intervene faster, avoid broadcast interruptions, and justify infrastructure investments with accurate reporting—such as when heavy traffic during the Project X riots pushed internet usage to 1.5 GB per second and supported a switch to another provider.
