Case Study: Westrope achieves broader network and facilities monitoring with Paessler PRTG Network Monitor

Westrope leverages Paessler’s PRTG Network Monitor beyond traditional IT applications

Westrope, a growing insurance brokerage firm with 140 employees across eight offices, needed better visibility into its IT environment and other critical systems despite having only three IT staff. Using Paessler AG’s PRTG Network Monitor, the company sought a flexible way to reduce downtime and keep core infrastructure, communications, and building systems available.

Paessler AG helped Westrope deploy PRTG beyond traditional IT monitoring to track servers, network drives, temperature in the IT room, physical security software, telephony, BlackBerry email/SMS continuity, and printer usage. With remote probes across 10 office locations, Westrope can monitor systems centrally from headquarters, receive instant alerts, and conserve bandwidth; the company also scaled from 100 to 500 sensors as it expanded, gaining a cost-effective, easy-to-manage monitoring platform.
