Uptime Infrastructure Monitor

One view of infrastructure performance

Uptime Infrastructure Monitor is a performance monitoring product for IT administrators who want to watch and tune their infrastructure from a single place instead of juggling separate tools. The material held for it presents the product as a way to unify monitoring and optimization across servers, applications and the platforms they depend on.

What it covers

According to the vendor, the product stands apart from competing tools in three ways. It monitors a broad range of platforms and applications rather than one technology. It lets administrators set service-level agreements and then track how well each one is being met. It supports both agent-based monitoring, where software is installed on each machine, and agentless monitoring, where data is collected without installing anything on the target. Having both options means a team can choose the approach that suits each system instead of forcing one method everywhere.

The vendor behind it

The product is listed under Idera, a software company best known for database tooling. Its catalog groups products into three families: design tools for modeling databases, monitoring tools for database performance, and protection tools for security, compliance and backup. Idera's own site today focuses on Microsoft SQL Server monitoring, backup and security, data modeling and governance, and migration tools, and mentions support for databases running on Amazon RDS, Azure SQL Database and Oracle MySQL Cloud Service.

Uptime Infrastructure Monitor sits in the same family as these tools. It addresses the wider infrastructure that surrounds the databases, which suits IT teams that already run the vendor's database products and want monitoring of the servers and applications around them.
