Our recommendations

• op5 Entry System; For companies with up to 100 actively monitored Monitored Devices
• op5 Standard System: For companies with up to 500 monitored Monitored Devices
• op5 Large System: For companies with over 500 monitored Monitored Devices

The choice of system is dependent on the size of the IT environment you wish to monitor, such as the number of ”checks” you want to perform per host and your need for redundancy. We have customers in all sizes, monitoring everything between twenty devices up to customers with thousands of monitored devices and tens of thousands of checks. Do not hesitate to contact us if you are uncertain and we will come back to you with an answer.

Upgrading, Scaling and Redundancy

All the systems support redundancy and load balancing. This allows for a system design with several op5 Monitor systems configured together.
