Nobia develops and sells kitchen solutions through brands across Europe, including Magnet, HTH, Marbodal, ewe, and Bribus. With operations in multiple countries and data centers across the continent, the IT team had no consistent view of how the network performed outside headquarters.
Without visibility across geographies, users would be impacted before IT knew anything was wrong. The team was spending too much time firefighting and not enough time improving performance.
Vendor tools couldn't deliver the cross-environment visibility the team needed. Delegating monitoring access outside the core network team wasn't easily achievable. One platform was needed.
Nobia consolidated onto PRTG Network Monitor and expanded its use across the full environment. Today, close to 10,000 sensors monitor all core and access networking infrastructure across Europe.
The immediate impact was visibility. Data from different geographic locations could finally be collected and analyzed together, giving the team a much clearer picture of network performance outside HQ.
PRTG now monitors SSL certificate validity, AWS availability, VPN connections, firewall failovers, CPU usage, and factory equipment. When VPN demand spiked, the team used PRTG to monitor capacity and delegate visibility outside the core network team. The solution was live within hours.
PRTG surfaced an issue Cisco's own management system had missed: a blade server in the UK had been offline for months. PRTG flagged it. The team contacted Cisco and avoided a system failure.
We appreciate the flexibility of PRTG and how it grows together with the company, supporting our needs to also digitalize the factory floor and monitor not only standard IT infrastructure but also factory equipment.
