IT Automation

Site24x7 offers a set of exclusive IT Automation tools that automatically resolve performance degradation issues. These tools react to events proactively rather than waiting for manual intervention. The IT Automation tools automate repetitive tasks and automatically remediate threshold breaches. The alarm engine continually evaluates system events for which thresholds are set and executes the mapped automation when there is a breach.
