Deployment Models

Cloudmon supports four deployment models to suit different network environments: Single Network, Distributed, DMZ, and MSP. Choose the model that best matches your organisation's topology.

Single Network

In this deployment model, branches are connected through an MPLS network or leased lines, within a single network, as would be the case in smaller organizations. Cloudmon controller and database are installed either on-premises or in Cloud. Cloudmon probes are installed in a centralized location (such as the Cloud, main data center or a central office). These probes then monitor and collect data from SNMP-enabled devices, WMI (Windows Management Instrumentation)-based devices, and other network components located in the different branches.

Distributed — Different Networks

In this deployment model, each branch operates on its own network or across different geographical regions, as would be the case in typical large organizations. Cloudmon Controller and database are installed either on-premises or in Cloud. Cloudmon probes are deployed in each branch to collect performance and health data from local devices. These probes then send the collected data to a central Cloudmon Controller for unified monitoring and analysis.

Demilitarized Zone (DMZ)

A DMZ (Demilitarized Zone) is a network segment that separates an organization's internal network from external networks (such as the internet). It adds a layer of security by acting as a buffer zone where external-facing services and systems are isolated from the internal network. In a Cloudmon deployment involving a DMZ, probes and monitoring components are strategically placed to balance security and monitoring effectiveness.

Managed Service Providers (MSPs)

Managed Service Providers (MSPs) offer IT monitoring and management services to multiple clients, often spanning various geographical locations and network environments. Cloudmon can be effectively deployed in an MSP setting to provide comprehensive monitoring solutions for multiple client infrastructures from a centralized platform.

These deployment scenarios illustrate how Cloudmon can be adapted to various network environments to provide effective monitoring and management of IT infrastructure. Whether for centralized monitoring, distributed networks, or secure environments, Cloudmon ensures comprehensive visibility and control.
