Reactive System Monitoring through out exclusive IP Alert system that includes:

Uptime Monitoring
Our IP Alert System constantly pings each server and, per your standing instructions, alerts your team or notifies our staff to activate pre-established incident escalation procedures.

Resource Monitoring
We monitor your system’s processor and memory against parameters you set, and alert you anytime utilization strays from the mark.

Application & Process Monitoring
In addition to your being able to monitor port-based applications through Orbit, we can alert you when any application on your pre-established list is down.

Network-Based Security Protection
We constantly monitor your system and protect against distributed denial of service (DDOS) attacks using a series of third party tools for layered and coordinated fortification of your server’s network environment.

Bandwidth Monitoring and Tracking
Through Orbit, you can continually track bandwidth allocations and usage on a per-server basis. Real-time graphs and limit-approach warnings help your team manage to optimum levels, and reports are archived for trend analysis and decision-making support.

Automated OS Updates
As updates to your operating system are released by the vendor, The Planet tests and certifies them before pushing them out so you are assured of system reliability and functionality.

On Demand Vulnerability Assessments
Application code changes, server updates, software additions and configuration changes can all lead to security problems. Through Orbit you can request a Vulnerability Assessment that will alert you to any detected security problems, and will propose changes to resolve them.

Open Access to Knowledge Base
We freely share our technical expertise and customer support experience to help you solve everyday server problems. Our dynamic, up-to-date database contains hundreds of current and relevant articles written by support professionals, and can be searched by keyword or category.
