Custom alerts and data visualization let you quickly identify and prevent low storage space, data loss, and other issues with your storage environment.
Paessler PRTG helps you avoid negative business impacts due to storage problems or failures with 24/7 storage monitoring of all components – hardware as well as software, availability as well as performance and security.
PRTG helps you detect cooling failures before they lead to synchronous destruction of hardware components and to irreversible loss of data.
Although these systems have multiple layers of redundancy based on RAID levels and multiple disks, failures still happen without proper temperature monitoring with a tool like PRTG.
PRTG helps you detect faulty hardware so it can be replaced in time to assure maximum performance and reliability for the entire system.
Although these systems can handle the loss of multiple disks without urgent problems, such failures cause performance issues and can lead to data loss on a long-term basis.
Since storage systems depend mainly on software components, even a small undetected error can become a critical failure that causes massive data loss.
PRTG helps you detect and identify the root cause of such errors, and helps preserve data integrity that is affected by backup software, databases, and virtual infrastructures.
With PRTG, you can easily avoid disturbances such as critical business processes that slow down because data is not available or can’t be stored in time.
Prevent problems such as a failed purchasing process in a web shop, a backup process that’s interrupted and corrupted, or a security update that fails and leaves open vulnerabilities.
Diagnose network issues by continuously tracking your storage systems, including virtual and physical servers, network-attached storage (NAS), storage area networks (SAN), content delivery networks (CDN), and cloud storage. Show response times, CPU and memory usage, latency, and other key metrics in real time. Visualize monitoring data in clear graphs and dashboards to identify problems more easily. Gain the overview you need to troubleshoot storage bottlenecks, low storage capacity, and unplanned downtime.

If your IT teams need custom alerting that only triggers a notification if necessary and just informs the responsible person and not the whole company, PRTG is what you’ll need.
Define your individual warning and error thresholds, and PRTG alerts you via SMS, email, push notification, and other methods if there is an issue so that you can step in and save the day.
Get out-of-the-box support for Dell EMC, NetApp, Lenovo, QNAP, IBM, HPE 3PAR, Synology, and cloud storage vendors like AWS, Azure, Google, or Microsoft.
Not what you’re looking for? Then create your custom integration for the storage provider of your choice. Your system, your rules.
Do away with juggling multiple monitoring tools by several vendors you use – especially if each storage system offers its individual monitoring system.
PRTG provides you with one central monitoring solution with a unified overview that lets you track your storage environment as well as your entire IT infrastructure at a glance.
PRTG monitors the entire path data takes from the source application to the final disk, folder or database where it is stored.
This also includes keeping a 24/7 eye on network connectivity, bandwidth usage, storage resource allocation, and other IT components that play a vital role in the data storage process.
PRTG comes with more than 250 native sensor types for monitoring your entire on-premises, cloud, and hybrid cloud environment out of the box. Check out some examples below!
The NetApp Physical Disk v2 sensor monitors physical disks of a NetApp storage system using ONTAP. It can show the following:
The HPE 3PAR Drive Enclosure monitors a drive enclosure of an HPE 3PAR storage system. It can show the following:
The Dell EMC Unity Storage LUN v2 sensor monitors a logical unit number (LUN) on a Dell EMC storage system. It can show the following:
The Microsoft Azure Storage Account sensor monitors the storage account in a Microsoft Azure subscription. It can show the following:
The WMI Storage Pool sensor monitors a storage pool on a Windows system. It can show the following:
See the PRTG Manual for a list of all available sensor types.
Real-time notifications mean faster troubleshooting so that you can act before more serious issues occur.
PRTG is set up in a matter of minutes and can be used on a wide variety of mobile devices.

There are several types of storage, typically categorized based on the technology, purpose, or use case. Here's an overview:
Storage monitoring refers to the process of tracking, analyzing, and managing the performance, capacity, and health of storage systems to ensure optimal functionality and efficiency. This involves using tools or software to provide visibility into various storage resources, such as disks, arrays, or cloud-based storage, and helps identify and resolve potential issues before they become critical.
Key aspects of storage monitoring include:
Monitoring storage systems is important for several reasons, including:
PRTG is a comprehensive network monitoring tool that can be effectively used to optimize the performance of your storage infrastructure. It can keep an eye on storage metrics such as disk I/O, latency, disk usage, RAID health, storage array performance, or cache utilization. Its real-time alerts and custom notifications help you proactively solve issues with your storage setup. What’s more: With PRTG’s wealth of historical data and in-depth reporting, it can help you with storage capacity planning and workload distribution.
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.
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.
Paessler PRTG is used by companies of all sizes. Sysadmins love PRTG because it makes their job a whole lot easier.
Bandwidth, servers, virtual environments, websites, VoIP services – PRTG keeps an eye on your entire network.
