[ASAC Comunicaciones](https://www.asac.as/) S.L., a renowned IT consultancy and Managed Service Provider (MSP) based in Asturias, Spain, specializes in providing a wide range of products and services to its customers. ASAC Comunicaciones primarily serves customers in the public sector, including municipalities and county councils, offering a comprehensive portfolio of solutions tailored to their specific needs.

## Building data centers and the need for effective monitoring

ASAC established their initial data center in 2008 and subsequently set up a second [data center](https://www.paessler.com/data-center-infrastructure-monitoring) in a separate building. However, they soon realized the need for an efficient monitoring system to oversee their data center infrastructure, encompassing [physical servers](https://www.paessler.com/server_monitoring_software), various Operating Systems, cloud applications, and more.

Initially they chose an open-source solution, but it didn't meet their needs. There was no official support or training available for employees, and the Linux-based tool required significant self-training and troubleshooting.

The challenges became more pronounced as ASAC's monitoring team grew from a few people to ten. The steep learning curve, the need for specialized technical skills, and the lack of scalability demonstrated that the open source tool was not truly “free". In particular, when t became clear the open source tool cost as much as a commercial tool, they decided to evaluate several commercial solutions.

Take a look at this video to learn more about ASAC's choice of Paessler PRTG and why the scalability of a monitoring solution is so important for MSPs:

## The advantages of choosing Paessler PRTG as ASAC's monitoring solution

ASAC decided on Paessler PRTG as their monitoring solution due to its user-friendly interface and quick learning curve, allowing new employees to work with it efficiently after [minimal training](https://www.paessler.com/services/prtg-training). The flexibility to grant customized access to customers, as well as the extensive range of [native sensors](https://www.paessler.com/manuals/prtg/list_of_available_sensor_types) for monitoring various device types, were key factors in their decision. With reliable [technical support](https://helpdesk.paessler.com/en/support/home) from Paessler and easy implementation through [remote probes](https://www.paessler.com/support/how-to/remote-probe-installation), PRTG proved to be an ideal choice for ASAC.
