Switches and uplinks
Port status, error counters, PoE draw, spanning-tree surprises, uplink saturation, and ports that suddenly reverse traffic direction.
Auvik-powered monitoring
Eyes on every switch, AP, and endpoint. 24/7.
Monitoring is not a dashboard nobody looks at. It is a pipeline that ends with someone on our team acting on the right alert, at the right time, with the right context.
What we watch
Signal, not noise. Alerts that mean something.
We tune monitoring around the health signals that actually affect users, classrooms, offices, VPN, and core network availability.
Wi-Fi and access points
Coverage gaps, rogue SSIDs, roaming failures, and APs that quietly dropped to 2.4 GHz because of interference.
Firewalls and VPN
FortiGate health, tunnel uptime, policy hit counts, certificate age, and early signs of brute-force campaigns.
Servers and endpoints
CPU, memory, disk, services, patch status, backup completion, and the file shares people notice only when missing.
Bandwidth and carriers
Carrier uptime, jitter, packet loss, top talkers, and which segment is chewing through the link.
Incident triage
Alerts route to on-call engineers with full context instead of a shared inbox that gets checked Monday morning.
Getting started
A small probe. A secure tunnel. Full visibility.
We install a dedicated Minisforum monitoring probe on your network. It discovers devices and streams telemetry to our operations workflow over an encrypted outbound tunnel.
- 1
We ship a probe.
A pre-configured Minisforum mini-PC arrives ready for power and ethernet.
- 2
It discovers your network.
The probe inventories switches, APs, endpoints, servers, and firewalls.
- 3
Telemetry streams securely.
The connection is outbound and encrypted - no inbound firewall rules, open ports, or exposed VPN concentrator.
- 4
We act on alerts.
Our engineers triage alerts with context and send you the resolution, not just the noise.
Monitoring pricing
Pay for the visibility you actually need.
Hardware setup is one-time. Monthly monitoring is priced by billable infrastructure device count and includes Auvik-powered visibility, on-call engineer triage, and a monthly summary report. Billable infrastructure devices usually include firewalls, switches, routers, controllers, and certain servers; APs, printers, UPS units, cameras, IoT devices, and endpoints may be monitored without counting toward the tier. HA firewall pairs, switch-heavy networks, multi-site environments, and 51+ billable devices are quoted after review. Managed FortiGate operations are separate when you want active firewall administration, policy tuning, and security response.
