So are you caught between a rock and a hard place?

Don't throw out your old remotes
Throwing away your legacy remotes is throwing away money. SNMP-legacy integration gives you a budget-saving alternative.

It seems like if you have a legacy monitoring system, you're stuck between several unpleasant alternatives. You can't afford a forklift swapout - you can't stay frozen in dead-end old technology - and you can't just wait for a complete system failure to force you into a forklift swapout.

What can be done?
What would a solution to the legacy problem look like?

  1. It must immediately provide a technically stable platform that eliminates the danger of a sudden breakdown.
  2. It must preserve the existing investment in legacy remote telemetry units.
  3. It must not require a large immediate costs.
  4. It must be a permanent solution to legacy problems-that is, it must be a modern system that supports open-ended developing, including adding new functionality and new remote telemetry units, and it must be backed by a stable vendor who can commit to long-term support. There is no point to leaving one dead-end legacy system for another.
