Binary Fusion specializes in IT Network Monitoring solutions for enterprise, middle size, small size and large size companies, regardless of what type of industry your company is in, whether your company is Financial Organization, Educational Industry, Law firm or Real Estate we can help transform your existing IT infrastructure into well monitored infrastructure, leveraging your company's IT policies and procedures.
We offer two types of services managed and non-managed monitoring. Where within non-manged Orion Solar Winds environment, we implement entire Solar Winds Product suit and make it fully operational, under constraints and principles defined by your existing company’s IT Network Monitoring policies. If you do not have concrete company’s IT Monitoring policy define, we help you derive one based on the best industry practices in such a way that makes most business sense for your company. For example, we can ensure that your company’s monitoring system is fully tweaked in such a way that your IT Engineering and Managers receive alert whenever there is serious issue in the form of critical SMS message, while warning alerts would be emailed out using regular email to IT Help Desk Team and displayed on the event logs.
We can analyze your entire Network Infrastructure and setup alerting based on the level of criticality within your systems. For example, consider typical Enterprise client having the following devices, servers, routers, switches, phones, video conferencing devices, wireless. What we do is not just focus on the devices and their health, but on the logical reasoning behind what each device can do and how failure of a specific service, within this particular device can result in business impact. Our methodology is to address not the existing devices, but the potential problems which can result from device failure.
At Binary Fusion we create fully dedicated table of risk values, showing critical business component, device responsible for it, and possible risk associated with this device. At which point we leverage one or multiple Orion SolarWinds products to help customer take control of their environment. Here is how:
Consider the following Risk Analysis Table.
Step1. Define Devices their business Function Risk and Orion SolarWinds Product
Device Name |
Business Function |
Risk |

dc-nyc-vcs1 |
Video Conferencing |
Medium |

Virtualization, NCM |
Step2. Break down each row into potential highly probable issue which can happen with each device.
Probable Cause of Failure |
Device Name |
How to Address it? |

Router may fail due to hard disk failure |
prod-nyc-srv1-virtual |
Setup Hard Disk Monitoring |
Medium Probable |

Step3. Decide on Actions in the event condition is true.
In this step our Binary Fusion leverage, custom Solar Winds alerting engine to create alerting conditions based on several conditions, such as time of operations when alerts should be received, for how long should condition exist before alert is generated, who receives the alert, whether to include information on how to fix the issue with manual instructions pertaining to the alert of automatically attempt to resolve the issue dependent on what type of issue this is. As you can see we only took 1 device and focused on one specific device and it’s potential pitfalls, but in real world there is many devices with many functions, with one function overlapping another. So how do we deal with all that? We integrate our solutions leveraging network monitoring analysis that makes most sense focusing on customer’s needs and making sure that the Orion SolarWinds Network Monitoring system is setup properly.
Additionally we don’t just focus on the actual devices, but we focus on the business potential impact resulting from multiple devices failing. Detecting such conditions requires careful benchmark analysis of the existing systems, and proper tweaking in such a way that condition that may result in business impact is tracked and best practices around such condition are implemented to ensure proper remediation steps.
Consider another example of how our services differ from other Orion Solar Winds IT Consulting firms in NYC Phoenix CT | NJ or other regions. We are not just some programming gurus, we are the actual IT consultants with tons of experience ready to leverage the team of programming gurus under the leadership of PMP certified Project Managers who can analyze existing IT issues and relay them to Orion Solar Winds IT Consultants who happen to be software experts with IT Network Security Engineering Skillset ready to tackle any of the advanced challenges that customer may face.
For example consider, someone asking to monitor web server connectivity to some server in headquarter office or someone trying to monitor specific parameter on a Linux device or proprietary device that requires custom polling. In which case we would create custom universal device pollers which can grab any piece of statistical information present within your device, graph it and generate an alert based on that statistical value. We can even tap into SQL database servers and look within specific row and column and trigger alerts based on the value within that row or column.
To conduct such type of custom tweaking, in many cases it requires not just logical reasoning behind what we are trying to solve, but SQL knowledge, reg ex, Unix and Networking Knowledge and PMP project managers who specialize specifically in custom based monitoring solutions. Our consulting services are affordable and definitely worth the money, in order to ensure that your network monitoring is setup properly with the right level of alerting, redundancy and business continuity in place.
The range of services that we provide, is custom based solution monitoring using IP SLAs leveraging Cisco Switches, Server Service monitoring, simulated netflow network monitoring, ESX Virtual host monitoring, NCM backup monitoring, automatic fixing of network issues upon failure, custom alert modification and adjustment, bogus alert cleaning and network benchmarking and setting thresholds.
IP SLA Monitoring
How would you like to get your hands on complete solution where we would create a map of IP SLA monitors from your central site to remote offices allowing you to see when and where within the network path there maybe an issue? This is precisely what we can do with IP SLA monitor, our Binary Fusion Consultants can set up IP SLA monitors with the right frequency to poll IP addresses in remote offices and graph that data, then generate alerts based on that data, when latency goes above certain threshold value. IP SLA monitoring is not an easy task to tackle without traffic engineering skills, route pattern analysis, switch platform compatibility checks, and Orion Software Knowledge.
Simulated Netflow Services and Managed Hosted Netflow Service Providers
With simulated netflow we can grab data from a SPAN tab and convert into a netflow then send it out to NTA netflow collector. For managed service provider consulting companies who specifically interested in monitoring multiple MPLS sites, we offer managed hosted netflow service model money on subscription fees from each customer, allowing customer to see dedicated netflow data for their individual site.
Good examples of that would be companies with Satellite Internet customers who are limited in bandwidth and want to see how their bandwidth is getting spent, who is communicating with who from where to where. With our consulting services in Solar Winds we can help you MSP make money.
Automatic Network Fix
Online, and Remotely
So now is your chance to take action under control, we have consultants who can fly out to your location and sit down with your IT Engineering department to understand requirements and adjust your infrastructure in the way that makes sense.
