Case Study: Zurich Airport improves network monitoring and outage prevention with Paessler PRTG

Zurich Airport monitors 4,500+ sensors with Paessler PRTG

Zurich Airport, a major Swiss travel hub, needed to ensure its critical electronic systems and network processes ran smoothly to prevent failures. To meet stringent SLAs and react more quickly to errors, its IT team sought a new monitoring solution after previous tools proved unsuitable for ad-hoc use. They turned to vendor Paessler AG and implemented their PRTG Network Monitor software.

The solution from Paessler utilized over 4,500 sensors for comprehensive monitoring, including IP SLA, WMI, and SNMP sensors. This implementation allowed for immediate detection of malfunctions, helped identify a critical video software bug, and optimized workflows through integration with the trouble ticket system. As a result, Zurich Airport's IT team achieved more efficient network management and significantly improved its quality of service, with PRTG completely replacing their previous tools like Nagios.
