64-bit (x86) Amazon Machine Image (AMI)
Amazon Machine Image (AMI)
An AMI is a virtual image that provides the information required to launch an instance. Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) instances are virtual servers on which you can run your applications and workloads, offering varying combinations of CPU, memory, storage, and networking resources. You can launch as many instances from as many different AMIs as you need.

Best network monitoring tool
It greatly helps in improving performance of network
it provide notification via messages or email as convenient which helps to understand issues and act accordingly anytime
It really requires skilled technicians, which increases in training cost
It takes large amount of storage space for running its functionality
They provide support in serval platforms
it creates its own dashboards and represents it which helps us to understand the progress and also present it to management level
"Powerful, Flexible, and User-Friendly Monitoring"
Alerts are accurate and reliable, I only get notified for real issues instead of endless false alarms.
One tool covers almost everything: servers, switches, applications, and even custom scripts.
Cost-effective, stable, and gives real-time visibility without adding unnecessary complexity.
Missing features like better syslog handling, deeper cloud integration, and easier automation.
Licensing based on sensors can get expensive quickly since one server consumes multiple sensors.
Support and roadmap updates could be more responsive.
Saves time by consolidating bandwidth, device, and application monitoring into one tool.
Reliable alerts cut down on false positives, allowing me to focus on fixing real issues.
Improves stability and reduces downtime by giving full visibility across the environment.
PRTG Network Monitor — Practical, fast-to-deploy monitoring for small to mid-sized ops teams
2. Clear, actionable visibility: intuitive dashboards, maps and dependable alerts make it easy for on‑call staff and NOC teams to spot and prioritize real issues at a glance.
3. Friendly for small teams: the Windows installer and solid documentation kept our rollout smooth — we had meaningful monitoring running the same day without hiring extra staff.
4. Reliable core functionality: uptime, bandwidth, CPU/memory and service checks are robust and help surface trends before they become incidents.
2. Windows‑only core: the primary deployment is Windows-centric, which can limit multi‑platform collector strategies for cloud‑first or heterogeneous environments.
3. Customization and integrations: building bespoke sensors, scripting and API workflows is more manual and less polished than some integration‑focused alternatives.
4. UX gaps in editing: map/dashboard editing can feel dated (limited undo/copy‑paste and HTML-centric tweaks), which slows iterative refinement.
2. Centralized operational visibility: it consolidates network and server health into a single pane, simplifying troubleshooting and daily ops for a small team.
3. Practical NOC-ready displays: straightforward dashboards and maps let us present useful status views on TVs and shareable dashboards without heavy customization.
4. Cost/scale trade-off clarity: for teams that want quick, dependable monitoring with minimal staffing, PRTG delivers strong ROI — but larger or highly integrated environments should validate sensor counts, hardware sizing and API needs through a short pilot.
I used PRTG every day — reliable visibility and useful automation, just plan for growth
2. Clear visualizations: maps and dashboards made it easy to communicate status to ops and non-technical stakeholders during weekly reviews.
3. Remote probes work: placing probes at regional sites kept polling local and kept our central server responsive over flaky WAN links.
4. Practical automation: I built a small script PRTG can run to restart a hung service; that eliminated repeated manual fixes for a known issue.
5. Useful historical data: daily/weekly reports and trends helped me validate ISP outages and plan capacity changes.
2. The web UI can slow when many sensors or very complex dashboards are open at once; splitting dashboards helped but required extra setup.
3. Deeply custom reports required exporting data and some scripting; built-in templates cover common needs but aren’t infinitely flexible.
4. Mobile dashboards can feel sluggish loading large historic charts.
2. Reduced repetitive work: small automated actions handled common problems overnight, so the team could focus on higher-value incidents.
3. Strong vendor evidence: historical reports provided clear proof of multi-hour ISP outages and helped get SLA credits.
4. Fewer repetitive tickets: small automatic remediations handled common faults overnight, freeing our NOC to focus on higher-priority incidents.
5. Clear evidence for vendors: scheduled reports and historical data helped me document outages and get faster responses from ISPs
