Like many IT professionals, you probably don’t think of remote monitoring and management (RMM) as being relevant to disaster recovery—but maybe you should. Minimizing downtime, which can occur due to any number of disasters, is one of biggest the benefits of RMM.
RMM is a collection of information technology tools that are loaded onto your IT systems and used to gather information regarding the health of your network and all the devices on it. That includes servers, desktops, laptops, firewalls, wireless access points, and more.
If any anomalies, threats or other types of problems are detected, such as low disk space, high CPU usage or an internet service outage, you or your IT service provider are automatically notified. That way, the issues can be resolved before they affect your IT operations. Proactive problem prevention means less potential for costly downtime.
Whether you choose to employ an RMM solution yourself or outsource the monitoring and management responsibilities to a third-party company, there are significant benefits for your IT staff. The do-it-yourself RMM option empowers your staff to stay on top of potential IT issues and be more proactive in preventing problems. That translates into greater efficiency and more productivity.
Outsourcing RMM offers the same proactive approach to problem prevention but offers the added benefit of freeing up your IT staff so they can focus on other responsibilities. Either way, you have a better chance of alleviating downtime if you have an RMM solution in place.
RMM offers other benefits as well. Among them:

No two attacks are alike. As such, there’s no single one-size-fits-all approach to fighting the problem. However, we can break ransomware attacks into “before,” “during” and “after” stages to help identify tactics to mitigate data loss and downtime.
