Smart service, smart customers
We take uptime very seriously, and so do our customers.
Why? Because on the Internet, you can’t take anything for granted. There are just too many factors affecting website and service availability. There will be a problem, the questions is only when, and how companies react to resolve it. In other words, any company just trusting that everything will work fine is playing a risky gamble, and sooner or later they will lose.
Smart players
Our customers know that this is not a gamble they should be taking. Instead, they are market leaders that have taken serious measures to provide a reliable service. These measures start with using reliable data centers and Internet connections, powerful servers, qualified staff, extending all the way out to monitoring of their carefully prepared environment. This is where Pingdom comes in. Uptime monitoring is a smart, proactive measure that alerts you of problems the minute they appear, assuring that if there is a problem, it will be as short as possible.

Not just for techies
Pingdom isn’t just for techies, either. We have noticed a trend that VPs, CEOs and other members of management have signed up for our service to arm themselves with an overview of their company’s availability online.
Watching both from the inside and the outside
It’s common for companies to complement their internal server monitoring with Pingdom’s external monitoring, for a complete view of their systems. Pingdom accesses services from the Internet, just like real users do.
Pingdom’s powerful monitoring solution meets the demands of both large and small companies. Our focus is on simplicity and ease of use, hiding unnecessary complexity from our users.
We all know 
Big sites and services like Yahoo, Facebook, Twitter and many others rely heavily on open source software to run their operations. Happily, this isn’t a one-way street. They are also giving back to the open source community, not just by contributing to existing projects, but sometimes by open sourcing their own internal projects, giving back something completely new.
Think about the software you use day to day. Depending on your profession and interests, what you use will vary, but some applications tend to show up over and over again. Microsoft Word and Excel, Powerpoint, Photoshop, various web browsers like Internet Explorer and Firefox, Skype, iTunes, and so on.
Is Facebook taking the first steps towards making itself an internet-wide payment platform?
Supercomputers. There probably isn’t a tech geek out there who doesn’t find them intriguing. Huge, hulking computers with performance that’s ages ahead of what we have on our desktops. They are the most powerful computing devices on the planet.
