Introduction
The GCM, a globally successful company, is facing some problems related to the
everyday works about the information technology administration [1]. The IT manager of the
GCM is keeping pressure to the System Administrator regarding the correct tools for managing
and also supporting the everyday services [2]. At present, the GCM is using some open source
monitoring tools like the cacti, OpenNMS, Icinga, monit and many others.
This report discusses the comparison of three existing technology related to server
management for the administration of the GCM [3]. This report also presents the three emerging
tools about the tools and techniques related to server management, which can be implemented in
the year 2020.
Discussion
There is three server management software that is used for the GCM system
administration. These include Site 24*7, LogicMonitor, and ManageEngine Application [4]. The
Site 24*7 and Logic Monitor do not get awards yet. But the ManageEngine Application Manager
got the award named the ‘Expert’s choice 2018’. According to the Financesonline, the site 24*7
gets the smart score 8.9. The LogicMonitor gets a quick score of 8.7. The ManageEngine
Applications manager gets the lively rating 9.0. As per aspect of the experience related to the
Customer, the most satisfying software is Site 24*7 [5].
The payment of the Site 24*7 is onetime payment, and the amount of the fee is $9. The
payment methodology of the LogicMonitor is a monthly payment, and the amount is based on
the quotes done by the Customer. The amount of cash of the ManageEngine Application

Manager is $945 [6]. The unlimited number of users cannot use the Site 24*7 and the
ManageEngine Applications Manager. But the LogicMonitor has an unlimited number of users.
The ManageEngine Application manager is used for monitoring the application servers of the
company, but the other two do not have this kind of facility [7]. The Site 24*7 can monitor web
applications, but the LogicMonitors and ManageEngine Application Manager cannot do it.
The LogicMonitor provides the high-level security mechanism for the organization, but
the other two do not offer this kind of facility. The ManageEngine Applications can monitor the
Cloud and ERP applications, but the other has no facility in this area [8]. The Site 24*7 has the
pages related to the status of the public, but it is not possible by using the other two. The
ManageEngine Application Manager has the oversees facility of the NoSQL, but the other two
does not have this kind of facility [9]. ManageEngine Application Manager has the monitors
provides the virtualization of the software, but the other two do not offer this kind of the facility.
The clients of the Site 24*7 include Getty-Images, NASA and Harley Davidson [10]. The
ManageEngine Applications Manager can be operated by the organizations having the small,
large and medium business. The Freelancers of system management can also operate it. The
support for the Site 24*7 can be achieved by the phone, live support and even the email [5].
There are three tools for system management in the year 2020. It includes Solarwinds
System Management Bundle, Applications manager from ManageEngine and Paessler.
Solarwinds System Management Bundle can supervise AWS and Azure both the cloud
platforms, but the other two are not able to oversee these cloud based platforms [10].
Paessler can create the reports having comprehensive manner, but the others do not
provide that. Paessler can detect the malware attack very efficiently, but the other two do offer
this kind of facility [1]. Paessler has greater than two hundred number of software, but the other

two applications are not able to provide this kind of facility. ApplicationManager can able to add
the apps in the single unit for performing the supervision most naturally. Other two do not offer
this kind of facility [2].
Conclusion
This report can conclude that IT manager of the GCM can implement the proper
infrastructure for implementing these applications. There are lots of benefits for using these
applications for the system administration and also the system management. The three
technologies related server administration can be beneficial regarding the growth of the IT
management about that organization. The IT manager should make an appropriate infrastructure
in this organization. There are various kinds of tools that can help to improve the system
management of the organization. The IT manager should implement these technologies related to
this organization. The IT manager should implement a secure backup facility for the
organization. The IT manager should implement a reliable security measure regarding the
security of the customer. He or she also plans for disaster management.
