Defense and Military

Technological Marvels in Extreme Conditions 

Those working in the military know that they get the opportunity to work with some very cool technology, the likes of which the civilian world may not see for a decade. This, in addition to typical IT equipment, also needs to be deployed in unfamiliar locations, many of which are harsh environments for tech equipment. 

Giants in the global defense industry like Lockheed Martin, Boeing, Raytheon, and Northrop Grumman set out to build the sophisticated systems that help protect nations and the men and women who fight for them. They depend on IT software and systems to pull off the marvels of technology these giants deliver. From aerospace to national security systems, the key players in the defense industry need to rely on best-in-class system monitoring to deliver their missions on time. 

Critical Defense Systems Stay Online with Nagios

Key defense industry titans use Nagios’ comprehensive software suite to monitor equipment on the manufacturing floor as well as aerospace and naval systems. Nagios provides proactive alerts so downtime can be drastically reduced, keeping systems online even in the harshest of conditions. Monitoring key performance metrics provides invaluable information necessary to plan and budget for future system upgrades or prepare for maintenance. 

In small to medium businesses, IT purchases are often several thousand dollars; however, in the U.S. Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marines, IT equipment deployments can easily be measured in the billions. That’s a lot of servers, storage, and networking gear that is expected to be online and functioning properly for years to come. 

By implementing Nagios, defense and military branch leaders can receive instant notifications of network, communication, and system outages that can affect their readiness and operational efficiency. Once alerted, military staff can resolve problems quickly, thus lessening the impact of outages and reducing or eliminating downtime. 

By implementing Nagios, defense and military leaders can: 

• Improve operational awareness 

• Be alerted to problems before they occur 

• Provide more on-time deliveries 

• Improve public visibility and credibility 

• Improve ROI on IT systems
