Case Study: UNITE Group achieves real-time IT monitoring and reliability with Paessler PRTG

PRTG keeps the Unite Group’s IT as safe as (Student!) Houses

UNITE Group plc, the UK’s leading student accommodation provider, needed a single, reliable infrastructure monitoring solution to oversee its WAN network, booking systems, emails, file servers, and call centre systems. The company also wanted real-time reporting for executives and the ability to monitor both Windows and Linux hosts, URLs, and service performance without requiring specialist expertise.

Paessler AG supplied PRTG Network Monitor, giving UNITE a single view of its online services, live monitoring of key links and servers, custom reporting, and alerts for capacity management and exceptional events. With 7,485 sensors in place, UNITE has been able to monitor its Cisco, Windows, VMware, and Linux environments, identify issues before they affect students, and deploy the solution for less than £8k.
