OutagesIO, or “Outages, Independently Observed”, means that problems and performance are measured from each location’s perspective, not from a centralized monitoring location only.
OutagesIO.com is a service that allows individuals, businesses, and enterprises to monitor internet connections and providers for outages, disruptions, and slow speeds with alerts in as quickly as 30 seconds.
The service can be used by network operators to find weak points in addition to their current monitoring solutions. It can also be used by organizations that need accountability for Internet outages and disruptions.
By using the service, users can track and document disruptions to internet services with reports on the frequency and duration of these disruptions and who was responsible no matter if reported or not.
In addition to its use as a tool for monitoring internet service, there are several other potential applications for OutagesIO.com’s technology:
Network monitoring
OutagesIO.com’s technology could be used by businesses and other organizations to monitor their internal networks for outages and disruptions. This could be particularly useful for large organizations with complex networks and multiple locations.
By installing agents at key points of the network, admins would know quickly if certain segments or sub networks have stopped communicating.
Internet of Things (IoT) monitoring
OutagesIO.com’s technology could be used to monitor the internet connectivity of IoT devices, such as smart thermostats, security cameras, and smart appliances. It could also be used for remote sensor locations that have little bandwidth as the timing of agent communications can be modified as needed.
This could help businesses and individuals ensure that their IoT devices are functioning properly and reliably.
Public infrastructure monitoring
OutagesIO.com is purpose built to monitor from each connected location’s perspective rather than being checked from centralized monitoring.
OutagesIO could be used by government agencies and other organizations to monitor the internet connectivity of public infrastructure, such as transportation systems and utilities. This could help these organizations identify and resolve issues with internet connectivity in a timely manner but more importantly, know about devices no longer communicating very quickly.
Service level agreement (SLA) monitoring
OutagesIO.com’s technology could be used by businesses to monitor their internet service providers for compliance with service level agreements (SLAs). This could help businesses ensure that they are receiving the level of service they are paying for and hold their providers accountable for any disruptions.
Organizations seeking to improve Internet access and reliability
OutagesIO.com’s technology has the potential to be used in a variety of applications to monitor and improve internet connectivity and reliability. The service is always interested in finding new ways in which its technology could be put to good use.
Security companies
OutagesIO.com’ could be used by security companies to monitor the internet connectivity of remote locations and ensure that they are able to communicate with the central monitoring station. By installing the service’s software agent or hardware device at remote locations, security companies can track and document disruptions to internet service and receive alerts when connectivity is lost.
This could be particularly useful for security companies that rely on remote surveillance cameras, alarms, and other equipment to monitor and protect properties. If internet connectivity is lost at a remote location, the security company could be alerted and take action to restore connectivity or deploy personnel to the location.
This could help security companies ensure that they are receiving the level of service they are paying for and hold their providers accountable for any disruptions. More importantly, the data can also show which Internet providers are more reliable than others for critical security systems.
