Monitoring is the core service of Pancake Solutions, forming the foundation of our comprehensive IT offerings. Our advanced monitoring solutions are designed to ensure the seamless operation and optimal performance of your IT infrastructure. Here’s how we excel in monitoring:

Proactive Monitoring

Our state-of-the-art monitoring tools provide real-time insights into the health and performance of your IT systems. By continuously tracking key metrics and performance indicators, we can identify and address potential issues before they impact your business operations.

24/7 Surveillance

We offer round-the-clock monitoring to ensure your systems are always under vigilant watch. Our dedicated team of experts is ready to respond to any anomalies or alerts, ensuring minimal downtime and uninterrupted service.

Customizable Dashboards

Our monitoring solutions include customizable dashboards that provide a clear and comprehensive view of your IT environment. These dashboards allow you to track performance, detect issues, and make informed decisions based on real-time data.

Automated Alerts

We utilize automated alert systems to notify you and our team of any critical issues as soon as they arise. This ensures swift action and resolution, minimizing the impact on your business operations.

Comprehensive Reporting

Our monitoring services include detailed reports that provide insights into system performance, uptime, and potential vulnerabilities. These reports help you understand your IT infrastructure’s health and plan for future improvements.

Pancake selectively partners with growing organizations that like applying strategy and budgets to a proven IT process based on standards and best practices – to improve performance and lower risk.

Pancake creates and maintains powerful, quiet, and secure IT systems by actively engaging and advising our clients in regularly scheduled meetings with a vCIO.

Pancake is responsive by design. We partner with organizations that appreciate the value of following a standards-based approach to inform the architecture and lifecycle management of their IT systems.

This alignment allows clients to enjoy business optimizing technology that doesn’t require constant, reactive, emergency intervention – so they have more time to focus on growing their business.

We give users direct access to support, which eliminates bottlenecks and allows us to collect data and insights to identify training gaps and recommend system improvements.

Our Service Level Agreement prioritizes client matters and response times by P1, P2, P3, and P4. A significant server or cloud application outage is a P1.

Assisting with a password reset is a P4.

The outcome is similar to the concept of compound interest. When you invest in the process over time, both quality of service and responsiveness accrue. Failure to invest (or starting late) makes it impossible to catch up.
