Argus Networking Services
The bulk of your infrastructure expense comes after
installation in the form of maintenance and management. New problems, such as
capacity and performance issues, can easily arise without continuous, expert
assistance. When you outsource your network management and monitoring to Argus,
we take complete responsibility for maintaining your network at peak levels of
performance. Our experts continuously manage and monitor your network systems,
solving problems before they impact your business, and your internal IT staff
can stay focused on their core responsibilities.
Network Management Services
Argus Network Monitoring Center is staffed and
equipped to remotely monitor and manage your network systems and devices. We
are equipped to manage all Cisco devices (routers, VPN concentrators, network
IDS, PIX firewalls, and switches). We can also manage Check Point and Sonicwall
firewalls. Our monitoring center takes responsibility for OS updates, bug fixes
and patches, and changes made to the device (user rights, access rights, and
passwords).
Link-State
Monitoring
When you outsource your network
management to Argus, our certified network experts will monitor your
infrastructure 24/7/365 and rapidly detect, diagnose, and resolve any issues
that threaten or impair performance.
Our center provides active
link-state monitoring for any network device that is IP addressable and can
accept an SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) trap, including:
Incident Escalation and Online Report
The Monitoring center utilizes
GFI network monitor and its related software to escalate link-state disruptive
events throughout your organization as well as to the necessary carriers.
Escalation activities are customized to meet your individual needs and
organizational structure.
All
information is stored in a database from which you can generate logs and
historical data at any time through a secure portal/GUI. For each monitored
device, we provide comprehensive statistics on availability, status, and
detailed incident reporting (including time/date stamp and escalation details).

Review of ICT Landscape in Qatar
ICT QATAR is working with telecommunications
operators and others to accomplish faster, more secure networks,
ramping up connectivity, and ultimately boosting overall ICT access and usage
among households and individuals, businesses, government agencies, and other
important sectors in Qatar.
The report Qatar’s ICT Landscape 2013:Households and Individuals, published by ICT Qatar recently, highlights many encouraging developments in
the country’s ongoing quest to build a competitive knowledge-based economy that
will benefit all its people. From climbing mobile, Internet, broadband, mobile
broadband, smartphone, and tablet computer penetration rates and the rise of
multiple device ownership to citizens’ increasingly sophisticated everyday
online habits and the country’s highly connected youth population, it’s clear
that technology is an increasingly integral part of life for people in Qatar.
Looking at the most recent data from
2012, several clear trends emerge: People in Qatar Are More Connected Than Ever
Before. Today, on average, a household in Qatar owns three mobile phones, two
computers, and one smartphone, and people are using these technologies to
access the Internet in ever-greater numbers. In fact, between 2008 and 2012,
computer penetration among individuals more than doubled, while Internet use
soared to 69.3 percent, up from 38 percent, over the same four-year period. The
progress is even more impressive among mainstream individuals, with a rise in
computer penetration to 89 percent and continued growth across all other basic
ICT infrastructure areas, including mobile phones, now at a near-universal 99.5
percent. Internet penetration for this group also increased significantly to 88
percent—a rate that is among the best in the Arab region, on par with ICT-advanced
countries like South Korea and the UK, and just a step behind leaders such as Norway
and Sweden, which have 93 percent and 90 percent Internet penetration,
respectively.
