Not quite, instead we liken it to more of a proactive approach ot ensure the consistant availability of your corparate IT resources. After all, the last thing you need is to be cross examined as to why your network is down when you walk in the building in the morning.
Network Monitoring Definition
Network monitoring is far more strategic than its name implies. It involves watching for problems 24/7, but it's also about optimizing data flow and access in a complex and changing environment. Network monitoring for a corporate network is a critical IT function that can save money in network performance, employee productivity and infrastructure cost overruns.

We can find and remotely resolve snail-paced webpage downloads, lost-in-space e-mail, questionable user activity, malware issues, printing problems, spam issues, remote connectivity problems…….
How important is network monitoring?
“You might think that if the network is up and running, there is no reason to mess with it.” The reasons to consider 24/7 network monitoring are to maintain the network's current health, ensure availability and improve performance. Akuwa’s network monitoring system will also help you build a database of critical information that you can use to plan for future growth. Smart companies don't settle for annual snapshots of system performance. Nor do they monitor only after the appearance of disturbing symptoms. They monitor their networks 24 hours a day, every day.
“Network monitoring is like a visit to a cardiologist. You're combining experience, judgment and technology to chart a system's performance.”
“Your doctor is watching for danger signs as blood flows through vessels, valves and chambers of the heart, while your network monitoring systems are tracking data moving along cables and through servers, switches, connections and routers.”
“That analogy holds up especially when you consider how important real-time information is in both cases.” CIO.com
One thing's a certainty when it comes to network monitoring. The cost of not using these technologies can be greater than you think, if you're not getting the performance and availability you're paying for and if you're not willing to spend sufficiently to ensure that your network is healthy and secure.
