The Infrastructure Monitoring service is for IT staff who want to track the performance of IT infrastructure, including servers, network equipment, and other devices. It supports both on-premises or public cloud environments such as Amazon Web Services (AWS), Azure, and Google Cloud Platform (GCP). This cloud-based, software-as-a-service platform leverages Cornell’s enterprise contract with FortiMonitor and shared central resources to reduce overhead and cost.
