Proactive monitoring includes automated measurements of CPU usage, disk space consumption, whether select programs are running and other metrics. We use a combination of enterprise software tools to continuously monitor and measure the servers, storage, memory and other devices, which helps us ensure uptime and availability of your server and data and to forecast upcoming needs.

Support for Virtual Machines in the Cloud

Vanguard also provides support for remotely-accessed guest operating systems in the cloud, such as with Amazon’s Cloud or Microsoft Azure or your own private server hosted in our data center or colocation. The cost of this service is discounted to reflect the absence of hardware maintenance.
