“Part of our infrastructure runs with Azure. This information is then sent to PRTG via Powershell. Paessler is a great solution for us. We get alerts sent directly to our phones and if something goes wrong somewhere, we can immediately deal with it. It’s our lifeline. This is why Paessler gives us a sense of security no matter what the time of day.”

Gert-Jan Hiddink, DevOps Engineer
CowManager

“As more and more companies start to integrate new systems, they aren’t going to use legacy networks. Instead, clients are implementing more cloud-based solutions with newer programming languages. Being able to closely monitor cloud-based solutions and customize sensors based on clients’ needs is extremely helpful in making sure the process runs and continues to function as smoothly as possible.”

Hybrid Cloud Monitoring: FAQ

 

What is a hybrid cloud?

A hybrid cloud is an IT setup that combines on-premises infrastructure (a private cloud, for example in a data center) with public cloud services, allowing data and applications to move between them. This approach offers flexibility, optimized resource use, and improved scalability. This enables organizations to choose the best environment for each workload.

Why is it important to monitor hybrid cloud environments?

Monitoring hybrid cloud environments helps maintain the performance and availability of both cloud and on-premises resources. It discovers issues, finds dependencies, prevents downtime, optimizes resource usage, and maintains security, making sure that all components of the hybrid cloud work together efficiently.

What are the challenges of hybrid cloud monitoring?

Monitoring a hybrid cloud can be challenging due to the need to manage different tools and protocols for various environments, ensuring data security across both public and private clouds, and keeping performance consistent. A comprehensive monitoring solution like PRTG can centralize this monitoring while simplifying the complexities.

How does PRTG support hybrid cloud monitoring?

PRTG supports hybrid cloud monitoring as well as multi-cloud monitoring with preconfigured sensors for various cloud platforms (like AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud) as well as on-premises systems. It provides a unified dashboard, real-time alerts, and customizable reports, letting you monitor all aspects of your hybrid environment from a single interface.

Can PRTG scale with my hybrid cloud needs?

Yes, PRTG is highly scalable, making it suitable for any size of hybrid cloud environment. Whether your needs grow or shrink, PRTG’s flexible subscription plans and scalable architecture allow you to adjust your monitoring setup as required, so you always have the right coverage without overspending.

What is a sensor in PRTG?

In PRTG, “sensors” are the basic monitoring elements. One sensor usually monitors one measured value in your network, for example the traffic of a switch port, the CPU load of a server, or the free space on a disk drive. On average, you need about 5-10 sensors per device or one sensor per switch port.

We asked: would you recommend PRTG? Over 95% of our customers say yes!

Paessler conducted trials in over 600 IT departments worldwide to tune its network monitoring software closer to the needs of sysadmins. The result of the survey: over 95% of the participants would recommend PRTG – or already have.
