When to Use Multiple Intermapper Servers

Many organizations with a network at a single location use one Intermapper server to monitor their entire network and all of their important services. This solution is highly affordable and produces excellent results.

Although a single monitoring server makes for simplicity, it does not meet the needs of all organizations. Organizations with very large networks or multiple locations often find that the best design involves using multiple Intermapper servers to deliver a robust and scalable network monitoring solution.

You should consider using multiple Intermapper servers in the following situations:

• Redundant monitoring is a requirement.
• Your organization has a very large network (> 2000 devices being monitored).
• Your organization's network spans multiple campuses or is a large distributed network with multiple remote sites/regions.
