Custom alerts and data visualization let you quickly identify and prevent hardware failures, environmental issues, and physical security threats.
Data center operations are the enterprise network's nerve center.
They house servers, routers, switches, power distribution units, and other network equipment that keeps your organization moving. So, with so much critical functionality riding on them, can you afford not to keep a close eye?
The answer is no, of course.
The problem is, how do you carry out hardware, software, and environmental monitoring, as well as physical security and network security monitoring effectively, especially if your data center is located thousands of miles away from your office, and there are a million and one other things on your to-do list?
Paessler PRTG is designed specifically for this purpose.
Its system of remote probes connected to a core server and preconfigured sensors for real-time monitoring of key variables streamline your workflow, bringing critical data together in one place and helping you improve your network’s operational efficiency and prevent outages.
Whether your data center is on-premises or distributed, setting up PRTG is equally straightforward: key in an IP address range, and the automatic network discovery will add every device in that range to your monitoring environment. There's no need to install specialized software agents or clients.
A single, unified view of your entire IT infrastructure. PRTG's preconfigured sensors can track every hardware, application, and environmental parameter you can think of, including whether there's been unauthorized access to your server rooms or data centers.
Don't let issues in your data center disrupt your whole organization. PRTG tracks key variables in real time, making it easier to optimize performance and carry out capacity planning. You'll also get alerted about potential issues, so you can fix them and prevent unplanned downtime.
Nobody likes energy waste (especially if you have to listen to accounts complain about how high your operating costs are). Track energy consumption and other metrics that impact how much power your IT infrastructure uses in real time, and do more with less – for more sustainability.
Diagnose network issues by continuously tracking the health and performance of your data center’s hardware, applications, services, and entire infrastructure. Show power consumption, temperature, humidity, building access, unusual network activity, and other key metrics in real time. Visualize data collection in clear graphs and dashboards to identify problems more easily. Gain the overview you need to troubleshoot energy usage spikes, capacity constraints, access vulnerabilities, and other performance and security issues.

Our data center monitoring software’s sophisticated, preconfigured sensors collect critical real-time data from every hardware component in your data center:
Because environmental conditions are as critically-important as performance metrics for your data center to function smoothly, PRTG also monitors key environmental variables:
Pick your preferred thresholds, and PRTG’s built-in automations alert you if performance falls under or over, so you can troubleshoot issues, optimize connectivity, and maximize network uptime
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 SNMP Rittal CMC III Hardware Status sensor monitors the overall status of Rittal data center hardware, for example Rittal Computer Multi Control version 3 (CMC III) processing units, Rittal power distribution units (PDU), or Rittal IoT interfaces. It can show the following:
The SNMP interSeptor Pro Environment sensor queries data from a Jacarta interSeptor Pro environmental monitoring system. It can show the following:
The OPC UA Server Status sensor monitors the server status, uptime, and diagnostic information of an OPC Unified Architecture (OPC UA) server. It can show the following:
The Redfish Power Supply sensor monitors the power supply of a Redfish Scalable Platforms Management API (Redfish)-capable server. 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.
“Excellent tool for detailed monitoring. Alarms and notifications work greatly. Equipment addition is straight forward and server initial setup is very easy. ...feel safe to purchase it if you intend to monitor a large networking landscape.”
Partnering with innovative IT vendors, Paessler unleashes synergies to create
new and additional benefits for joined customers.
By integrating PRTG with Martello iQ, you can add a fast analytics layer to improve uptime, visualize your IT environment, and integrate all of your IT systems into a single pane of glass.
IT that works constitutes a business-critical basis for a company's success. Availability and security must be defined for the respective purpose and closely monitored – by OT and IT alike.
Siemon and Paessler bring together intelligent building technology and advanced monitoring and make your vision of intelligent buildings and data centers become reality.

PRTG is a proprietary software tool that tracks the health and performance of servers, fans, cooling systems, power distribution units (PDUs), USPs, and other network devices, as well as important environmental metrics such as airflow and air pressure, temperature, and humidity. Available for Windows-based on-premises servers or as a cloud-hosted solution, it's capable of monitoring unlimited local, remote, and virtual devices, bringing critical system data together in one simple, intuitive interface you can access from anywhere: at the office, at home, or on the go.
A data center is usually made up of the following:
For lots of reasons. It improves your network's performance and reliability. It prevents avoidable downtime. It strengthens security. It ensures your IT infrastructure’s environmental conditions are appropriate. And, ultimately, it saves your organization time and money. But don't take our word for it. Over 95% of our customers would very likely, definitely, or have already recommended PRTG.
Yes. PRTG’s system of probes enable it to carry out remote monitoring of any device, even if it’s located 1000 miles away, so it's ideal for organizations that have distributed IT infrastructure. Set up remote probes close to the endpoints of the network devices or physical infrastructure you want to monitor, and PRTG will gather the performance data for you in one place.
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.
