Remote monitoring and management (RMM) software allows managed service providers to remotely track, manage and support IT infrastructure and endpoints for their clients like servers, desktops, laptops, smartphones and other connected devices.
Importance of RMM for MSPs:
– Enables managing thousands of devices from a central dashboard
– Automates patch, antivirus and backup monitoring
– Provides insight through advanced analytics
– Allows swift remediation of IT issues remotely
Example:
Instead of expensive onsite visits, an MSP can rapidly roll out a new software update to hundreds of customer endpoints across locations using RMM.
Key Capabilities of RMM Tools:
– Performance monitoring
– Asset inventory management
– Policy configuration management
– Security and patch monitoring
– Centralized alerting and notifications
For today’s dynamic work environments, RMM is pivotal for MSPs to deliver efficient, continuous and secure IT support to clients.
