subject: E-commerce and Network Monitoring [print this page] Very few sites of any size and functionality are anything less than an entire network, and many networks rely on servers in different parts of the world. A network service can guarantee a good tracking in a database that all servers are functioning properly, the data can be sent and received from each server, and that each function sharing the server responds as required. A surveillance network for advanced services can even remotely control the temperature of the servers. What you need to follow depends on the size of your network. An expert in the network control can help determine the need for supervision. If you have servers, or remotely hosted on dedicated servers, it is likely to follow everything. If your site is hosted on shared servers, you may need fewer functions monitored.
