Government and Public Sector


Network monitoring within the public sector has unique challenges that require unique solutions. Public IT systems need to be accessible to a greater number of people and need to be reliable with minimal or no system down time. They need to support a wide range of various technologies and services, and at the same time accountability and traceability is important for legal reasons.
