This thesis deals with the evaluation and staging implementation of monitoring solutions for remote server infrastructures. Solutions reviewed are deployable on Linux server infrastructures, hosted primarily on the VMware virtualization hosting solutions. Metrics collected include supervision of server availability over VPN connection, time trends of hardware sources utilization, and also include monitoring of Oracle database performance indicators. Some of the solutions provided support the implementation of custom monitoring agents and the ability to change the configuration of monitored entities using a centralized hub in order to avoid micromanagement of individual servers. After deployment and comparison of selected solutions, we can establish that the chosen monitoring tools meet the required monitoring criteria and represent a noticeable improvement of currently implemented solutions for remote server infrastructures monitoring.
