The IKON Virtual Engineer (IVE) is a web-based service that monitors the availability and performance of the key components within your IT infrastructure.
Secure IVE agents, installed within your organisation, collect realtime information from your servers, applications, databases and network devices. These agents then connect and report this information via the Internet to secure IVE monitoring servers where the information is consolidated and analysed before being presented in an online portal.
The current status of your servers, applications, databases and networks can be viewed within the IVE secure reporting portal by your staff with appropriate authentication without the need for investment in additional local servers or management software.
Monitoring And Alert Services Tailored To Your Business
The IVE solution can provided in a modular format with the level of monitoring and alerts tailored to the needs of your business. There are four levels of monitoring available:
|
 |
- IVE - MONITOR
- IVE - MONITOR PLUS
- IVE - PERFORM

 |
| The performance information collected can be analysed continuously and filtered according to specific criteria set to your business parameters. Any abnormal activity monitored can then automatically generate instant alerts to your support staff via SMS, pager, email or online portal, ensuring you are best placed to correct issues before they impact your business. |
