CMS Consulting, a Microsoft (News - Alert) Gold Certified partner, launched Infrastructure Guardian, a remote server, application and network monitoring solution.

Built on the expertise and experience of one of Microsoft Canada's leading partners, the new remote server Infrastructure Guardian is aimed at allowing organizations to off-load the monitoring of their IT infrastructure and private cloud.

CMS emphasized that this managed service cuts through the noise generated by traditional monitoring software, detecting problems early and providing the right solution to remediate errors before they become incidents and impact productivity.

"As IT continues to increase in complexity and budgets are cut, very few organizations are able to keep watch over their servers, applications and networks, 24 hours a day, seven days a week.    And for those who may be able to afford the manpower, keeping their professionals up to date with the latest training for their entire infrastructure, is near impossible. That's the gap that Infrastructure Guardian fills," Brian Bourne, president of CMS Consulting, said in a press release.

"Customers can maintain ownership and control over their IT assets while offloading the 24x7 monitoring to Infrastructure Guardian. Our senior team of experts are experienced across all industries and can identify which alerts are critical, and provide customers with a recommended course of action to resolve the problem, often before end-users are impacted," Bourne added.

Infrastructure Guardian is noted to be unique in its blend of on-premise Microsoft System Center based solutions and centrally managed network operations. The solution brings customers the flexibility and security of an enterprise grade on-premise solution, with the high value benefits of a managed service.

Oliver Tsai, director of Information Technology for Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre, one of Infrastructure Guardian's first customers, with two hospital campuses and data centres, and more than 400 servers to manage, noted that, "With limited staff and budget available to fulfill the IT Infrastructure needs of Sunnybrook, Infrastructure Guardian ensures that only issues requiring our attention are filtered to my team."

CMS Consulting last year was announced as a Microsoft Partner Awards winner as Core Infrastructure Solutions, Desktop Partner of the Year. The company was chosen out of an international field of top Microsoft partners as delivering market-leading customer solutions built on Microsoft technology.
