Monitor your remote branches or departments using Remote Probes of PRTG
Easy Installation, deployment and configuration - NO TRAINING REQUIRED!
PRTG Network Monitor is designed for easy deployment but fully packed with all the features required for an any size of network - from small business to enterprise.
Every license of PRTG comes with the PRTG Core Server , 1 -PRTG Cluster Failover Server and UNLIMITED Remote PROBE license. All without additional costs .
Deployment of PRTG
PRTG Core Server
This is the central part of a PRTG installation and includes data storage, web server, report engine, a notification system and more. For small monitoring system, a single PRTG Core server installation may be enough (ex the freeware 10 sensor of PRTG ).
PRTG Remote Probes
If you need to monitor remote networks, remote branches or remote offices , different sub-networks that are separated by a firewall, you can deploy the Remote Probes of PRTG . Every PRTG comes with unlimited license of Remote Probes so you can install it and monitor all your remote networks, branches or offices at no additional costs. See illustration below on how Remote Probe works for multiple sites /networks.

PRTG Cluster Failover Solution - Multiple Failover - 3 or more Nodes
Another Scenario for Remote Probe
PRTG Cluster Failover Solution - Single Failover - 2 nodes
PRTG offers single failover clustering in all licenses—even using the freeware edition. A single failover cluster consists of two servers ("Node 1" and "Node 2"), each of them running one installation of PRTG. They are connected to each other and exchange configuration and monitoring data.
|
In a PRTG Cluster up to 5 PRTG instances ("Nodes") work together to create a failover tolerant monitoring system. |
|
Not even a software update causes downtime for a PRTG cluster. |
|
The cluster performs automatic failovers: If the primary node fails or loses connection to the cluster, another node immediately becomes the master server and takes over the sending of notifications. Thus notifications are always sent, even if the primary master has no connectivity or has crashed. |
|
Moreover, you can achieve multiple points-of-presence monitoring, all nodes monitor all sensors all the time. This means that response times are measured from different locations in the network (LAN/WAN/VPN) and can be compared with each other. Additionally, aggregated up/downtimes can be computed. |
Flexible Alerting
| • | Detailed graphs and data tables for one or more sensors |
| • | Uptime/Downtime (% and seconds) |
| • | Good/failed requests (% and totals) |
| • | Top 100 Bandwidth Usage |
| • | Top 100 CPU Usage |
| • | Top 100 Ping Times |
| • | Top 100 Disk Space |
| • | Top 100 Uptime/Downtime |
| • | And several others |

PRTG Core Server as well as PRTG Probe can be run on virtualized platforms. The following virtualization platforms were tested successfully:
| Technology | Client OS |
| VMware ESX/ESXi Server 3.5, VMware vSphere 4 | Windows XP, Windows 2003 SP1 or later (32/64 bit), Windows Vista (32/64 bit), Windows 2008, Windows 7 (32/64 bit), Windows 2008 R2 |
| VMware Server 2.0 | Windows XP, Windows 2003 SP1 or later (32/64 bit), Windows 2008 |
| XEN Server 5.0 | Windows XP, Windows 2003 SP1 or later (32/64 bit), Windows 2008 |
| Parallels Virtuozzo Containers | Windows 2003 Server SP1 or later (32/64 bit), Windows 2008 Server |
| Cloud Hosting: Amazon EC2, RackspaceCloud, and others | Windows Server 2003 SP1 or later, Windows Server 2008 |
Note: When monitoring more than 1,000 sensors we recommend to use dedicated real hardware instead of a virtual machine. In our experience, this improves performance a lot.
Hardware Requirements for PRTG Core Server and PRTG Probe
NOTE: Please consult our PRTG Site Planner tool to calculate the hardware specification for your PRTG installtion.
Hardware requirements mainly depend on the sensor types and intervals used. The following values are provided as reference for common usage scenarios of PRTG 8 (based on a default sensor interval of 60 seconds).

Hardware requirements mainly depend on the sensor types and intervals used. The following values are provided as reference for common usage scenarios of PRTG 8 (based on a default sensor interval of 60 seconds).
There are also non-hardware dependent limitations for some sensor types, e.g. WMI and SNMP V3 sensors. These limitations can be overcome by distributing the sensors across multiple remote probes. If you plan installations with more than 500-1,000 sensors or more than 10 packet sniffing/NetFlow sensors please consult the PRTG Site Planner tool.

Licenses of PRTG differ by two parameters:
* The Site License allows multiple installations of the core server within one site.
** The Corporate License allows multiple installations of the core server in different sites of one corporation in one country.
What counts as a sensor?
The licensing options are based on the number of sensors (not on the number of devices or Ips or computers ). We define one (1) sensor as any particular, individual monitoring entity. One sensor monitors one network service, one URL, one network connection, one port of a switch, one NetFlow export stream, one CPU load, one disk drive, etc. Please have a look at the list of supported sensor types. Monitoring one item from this list counts as one sensor.
