Internal and External Availability Monitoring

Internal monitoring of our clients network is made possible by our "HelpBox". The "HelpBox" is installed on every monitored network and makes possible the internal portion of our monitoring strategy. The “HelpBox” checks the availability of devices and insures that devices and applications are responding properly.

External monitoring is conducted from our three external monitoring locations - Boston, MA, Worcester, MA and Providence, RI. External monitoring continually checks the availability of our client’s critical network resources from the network perimeter.

Boston HelpDesk Support Desk monitors the following events in real time:

• Internet connectivity
• Availability of email
• Availability of web services
• Availability of database applications
• File and print services
