Solution
After
extensive
research,
Theimer
and
his
team
were
happy
to
find

GroupHigh
purchased

and
were
able
to
immediately
begin
monitoring
10
servers
for
less
than
$100
per
month.

GroupHigh
to
monitor
multiple
servers
at

time
and

CPU
and
Network
status—all
from
the
same
interface.

so
happy
with
CopperEgg’s
pricing
and
support

reached
out
to
CopperEgg
to
see
if
they
had
any

just
launched
their
RevealUptime

service.
By
adding

their
existing
RevealCloud
service,
GroupHigh
was
able
to
view

uptime,
health
and
response
time
instantly
and
receive
notifications
immediately
with
customizable
alerts
via
email.
