Case Study: Dataware Services achieves cost-effective, scalable network monitoring with Paessler PRTG

PRTG offers “10-times the features for less than annual maintenance cost” of competing system

Dataware Services, one of the largest public data centers in South Dakota, needed a more reliable and affordable way to monitor critical network infrastructure for both internal operations and customer environments. As demand for robust monitoring grew, the company was looking for a tool that could handle switches, routers, servers, applications, alerts, and reporting without the cost and complexity of its existing systems, so it turned to Paessler AG’s PRTG Network Monitor.

Paessler AG implemented PRTG Network Monitor to centralize monitoring, improve alerting, and support scalable deployment across multiple probes and data centers. The results were dramatic: Dataware reported about 10 times more features for less than the annual maintenance cost of its previous system, one-third the hardware footprint, troubleshooting times reduced from hours to minutes, backup times cut by about 80%, and faster deployment from weeks to just hours.
