Network monitoring software packages require complex installation, ongoing maintenance and additional costs for servers and third-party applications. Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) network monitoring alternatives greatly simplify implementation and maintenance, but they rely on uninterrupted Internet access to function, often require complex VPNs or firewall modifications, and typically provide limited access to historical data.

Download this paper to read about a new approach from Jumpnode Systems that combines the ease and simplicity of SaaS with a compact onsite appliance for failover modem connectivity in the event of WAN downtime, as well as simple and secure remote visibility and access without VPN or firewall changes.
