Here we are using SolarWinds' Orion Network Performance Monitor (NPM). We get email notifications when a server goes down, when CPU usage goes beyond a predetermine threshold, when disk space availability drops below a certain amount, etc. The server going down might be misleading, because if there is a WAN connectivity issue it reports the server as going down. The screens to do the monitoring are web based. Using IE works very nicely with text to speech software. I don't know how they look visually though. Here is a link to their site. http://www.solarwinds.com/network-performance-monitor.aspx?gclid=CMrlro282LICFYpFMgodZiMAig&CMP=KNC-TAD-GGL-BRAND-O-DL-US&ef_id=UGWyKAAARVQkojaB:20120928142024:s Vic Pereira Infrastructure Operations | Operations des TI Shared Services Canada | Industry Canada | Services partagés Canada | Industrie Canada 400 St Mary Avenue, Winnipeg MB R3C 4K5 | 400, avenue St Mary, Winnipeg MB R3C 4K5 Vic.Pereira@ic.gc.ca Telephone | Téléphone 204-983-0653 Facsimile | Télécopieur 204-984-4205 Government of Canada | Gouvernement du Canada
