In case any unnatural occurrence or condition is detected, an alert will immediately go out to our NOC (network operations center).

This tool gives us the capability to access any computer it is installed on, so the attending technician can see exactly what is on the target computer screen. Not only can they see, the problem, they can also poke around inside the operating system (OS) and rectify any problems they come across. Each serious problem that may arise is eliminated by our flat-rate Remote Monitoring service.
Security threats and annoying errors are easily eliminated by using remote maintenance.
