Monitor Performance from any Location

Monitis offers international systems monitoring network for external monitoring of web applications and services. Most companies are only concerned about their site availability and access from major countries like US, Germany, UK, Australia etc. and they are fine to use the existing monitoring network. Although there are cases when companies may need to measure performance from a very specific location, which could be a partner network, a remote office, a specific ISP network or a particular country.

Free SNMP Monitoring

Leading systems health and performance monitoring provider Monitis now offers free SNMP monitoring service. User can download and install agents on any Windows, Linux or Solaris computer and then use MontorSNMP web interface to add device monitors. SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is a network protocol used to monitor and manage network devices, servers, databases and printers. According to Wikipedia:

An SNMP-managed network consists of three key components:

1. Managed devices

2. Agents

3. Network-management stations (NMSs)

A managed device is a network node that contains an SNMP agent and that resides on a managed network. Managed devices collect and store management information and make this information available to NMSs using SNMP. Managed devices, sometimes called network elements, can be any type of device including, but not limited to, routers, access servers, switches, bridges, hubs, IP telephones, computer hosts, and printers.

AptDomain.name uses multi-lingual resources to determine most appropriate and attractive domain names

Aptdomain Introduces Suggestion Service that Helps Businesses Quickly Select Relevant and Accurate Domain Names

 Monitis, a leading provider of website monitoring, today released a domain suggestion service that eases the difficulty of finding relevant and available domain names.  Using a analysis engine that combines dictionaries and thesauruses of multiple languages with linguistic methods, businesses can use AptDomain.name to easily find unique and targeted domain names for their online presence.

AptDomain tackles one of the most challenging tasks of setting up an online presence:  choosing a desirable domain name that is relevant, linguistically appropriate, and attractive.  Businesses often report that because the best domain names are already taken, the process of finding a usable domain name is haphazard and tedious.  

The AptDomain domain suggestion engine takes keywords entered by the user and applies possible grammatical combinations using prefixes and suffixes.  It also searches for synonyms in the multi-lingual dictionary and can transliterate foreign languages into English letters.  Users can choose from a resulting list of recommendations or enter new keywords to change the recommendations. If one of the recommendations is suitable, AptDomain makes it simple to purchase through a one-click process.  Domain names ending in .COM cost $6.95 and those ending in .INFO are only $1.98.  Other domain name endings are also available.

Use of the AptDomain domain suggestion service is free; it currently supports English, French, German, Spanish, and Russian.
