Nagios in the enterprise

Our clients use Nagios to monitor a wide variety of networks. By monitoring systems continually, IT staff no longer need to rely on users to call them when a problem arises. Using Nagios they can proactively respond to problems. This allows them reduce system downtime and save administration costs.

Nagios hosting

We also provide hosted Nagios monitoring as part of our Open Source Monitoring service.

Nagios is open source software, which means that the user has the ability to change and customise it for their needs. Our consultants can provide expert support to manage and administer Nagios installations.

credativ has the largest dedicated open source support team in Europe, with the capability to offer up to 24x7 coverage for any Nagios installation. Our support contracts are priced competitively, starting at just £145 per month. This will cover any free software used by the customer - see our Open Source Support Centre for more.

Supported Distributions

credativ's Nagios support covers all of our supported distributions, including Debian, Ubuntu, Red Hat, SuSE, openSuSE, CentOS, Xandros, OpenBSD, FreeBSD and more.

Other Nagios services

We are also able to offer training for Nagios or other Monitoring projects, as well as general consultancy and project management.
