Advanced IT Infrastructure Monitoring System for Heterogeneous Data Centers

The client operates a complex and heterogeneous IT ecosystem comprising various devices, services, and applications. Existing monitoring tools provide limited visibility, especially for non-standard services and specific database issues, leading to increased risk of undetected faults, operational errors, and inefficient management. This lack of comprehensive diagnostics hampers proactive maintenance and system reliability.
