According to a recent survey, 94% of enterprises use cloud services. As more and more companies turn to the cloud for their IT needs, cloud monitoring has become essential for ensuring the smooth and secure operation of their cloud-based infrastructure and applications.
With so much at stake, it's important to have someone always watching your back and addressing potential issues before they have time to cause damage. This is where cloud monitoring comes in - a reliable and experienced cloud monitoring service can help you stay ahead of potential issues and ensure that your business runs smoothly and securely.
What is Cloud Monitoring?
Cloud monitoring is the process of monitoring and managing cloud-based infrastructure, services, and applications to ensure that they are running smoothly and performing optimally. It involves the use of monitoring tools and technologies to collect, analyze, and report on data related to cloud-based resources, such as servers, networks, storage, databases, and applications.
Forms of Cloud Monitoring
There are different forms of cloud monitoring, each of which provides different levels of monitoring and reporting capabilities. Some of the common forms of cloud monitoring include:
Infrastructure Monitoring: This form of cloud monitoring involves monitoring the infrastructure components, such as servers, networks, and storage, to identify issues and prevent downtime.
Application Monitoring: This form of cloud monitoring involves monitoring the performance and behaviour of applications running in the cloud, such as web applications, databases, and middleware, to ensure that they are performing optimally.
Security Monitoring: This form of cloud monitoring involves monitoring the cloud environment for security threats and vulnerabilities, such as malware, intrusion attempts, and data breaches.

Why Adopt Cloud Monitoring?
Free up Your IT Resource
It can be a challenging and tedious task for your IT team to complete and stay up-to-date with updates and security patches to all your IT Infrastructure due to the seemingly random nature of patch releases and version updates. This can be especially frustrating when they want to be focusing on projects related directly to the growth and success of the business.

As a result, the pressure on your IT resource will be taken off and employee productivity will be enhanced as they will be able to consistently complete activities without interruption.
Peace of Mind
With incidents that can last from a few minutes to several days, IT downtime is something all businesses want to avoid. Issues can occur at any time and if you’re a busy professional with lots of deadlines, these could get overlooked.
Additionally, with cyber threats on the rise, it is more important than ever for businesses to take the proper measures to keep sensitive data secure and prevent it from ending up in the wrong hands. Around 43% of cyberattacks are aimed at small businesses demonstrating that cyber criminals don’t just target large corporate enterprises.
Remote Monitoring with entrustIT means that our team always has their eye out for issues and threats, giving you peace of mind your business is safe.
Infrastructure Health Tracking
Over time your Infrastructure can deteriorate and if it isn’t in the right hands, this can be difficult to spot happening. Remote Monitoring will collect data about your Infrastructure over time, giving you reports to help show signs of degradation.
What are SLAs and Why are They Important?
When choosing a cloud monitoring service, it is important to understand the level of service and SLAs that you can expect. The level of service refers to the level of monitoring and reporting capabilities the service provider offers. SLAs, conversely, are contractual agreements between the service provider and the customer that define the level of service the provider will deliver.
A good cloud monitoring service should provide 24/7 monitoring and support, real-time alerts and notifications, comprehensive reporting, and proactive issue resolution. It should also offer flexible pricing and customizable service plans to meet the specific needs of your business.
