Server infrastructure is the key element of IT infrastructure, be it email, data storage, application hosting, user account or website. The main objective behind server management is to have 100% uptime and a reliable resource for hosting applications with no compromise in performance. The business and end users expect the applications or websites to be accessible always.

Due to its predominant importance, there is a significant business impact on unavailability or degraded performance of servers. This calls for a real time monitoring and proactive maintenance of server farms. Websites and webservers should be proactively scanned for malware, hacking attempts, spamming etc. to avoid an impending disaster. It will cost a lot for recovering from the disaster and will certainly add up with the business lost during the downtime.
