Features of Zabbix Enterprise Appliance
High-confidence and High-performance for Small and Medium-sized Environments
Energy, Heat and Space Efficient Design
- Power-saving: low power consumption with only 12.0W during idle time, and 15.0W during high-load periods
- Heat-saving: robust design, which doesn’t have to be air-conditioned, even in the temperature of 50°C
- Space-saving: it is only 194(W) x 179(D) x 42(H)mm big.
Maintenance Free
Included Introductory Training to Zabbix
Zabbix Enterprise Appliance may be allocated not only in server rooms [1], but almost at any place within office, shop, and factory or other place because of Plat'Home’s small form-factor, fan-less, spindles-less hardware.
The Appliance is optimized as a dedicated Zabbix machine, which allows it to monitor around 200 hosts [2], including Linux, UNIX and Windows servers and network devices.
Moreover, Zabbix Enterprise Appliance has a built-in self-monitoring function, which itself detects monitoring system problems and recover automatically.
Zabbix Enterprise Appliance is build using a dual-core Marvell Armada XP (base architecture：ARM Cortex-A9) CPU, so besides high performance, it features:
Zabbix Enterprise Appliance adopts the latest database technologies, which prevents from a loss of performance over operation time. The appliance is capable of storing both configuration and data information, including short-term history and long-term averages. Using built-in Zabbix functionality, it is possible to track the appliance disk space using graphs and trends.
Zabbix Enterprise Appliance is configured to do periodical backups to allow easy recovery from an error in monitoring configuration, a hardware failure, as well allowing to copy Zabbix server configuration to other monitoring server.
To support trouble-free operations of a monitoring system using the appliance, a
free
