SquareBoat, a start-up focused on new-age product development has created an innovative mobile and web applications platform. The flagship product Spectrum is a real-time server health monitoring tool for stakeholders in the web services industry.

Spectrum fetches data from Amazon Web Services (AWS) CloudWatch which only allows system architects and administrators to monitor their applications on the cloud), and displays it in a real time basis on a single screen, even for multiple servers or websites.

In technical terms, server health refers to parameter such as CPU loading, disk utilization, memory utilization, etc. Apart from tracking and providing insightful updates on server health, Spectrum will also help website owners predict if their website’s traffic is increasing unexpectedly so as to avoid unexpected server/website breakdowns. One can also choose to monitor the metrics through his/her Android phone by downloading the Spectrum app on Google Play.

“Monitoring server health is important to operate a website smoothly, and take remedial action, as and when required. Although at present existing tools like Nagios, Icinga, Zabbix etc. are being used for monitoring the server performance of a website, its complexity limits them to be used by tech-savvy persons only. On the contrary, what Spectrum does is that it uses a simple red-green light interface to indicate good or bad scenarios, making it simple enough to be used and understood by even non-technical entrepreneurs and marketing professionals”, said Gaurav Gupta founder and managing director SquareBoat.

As companies dealing in web services typically handle a lot of clients’ servers, Spectrum can save them a lot of time, enabling them monitor all their clients’ servers on a single screen in a hassle-free manner, claim the makers. Another set of users who are somewhat non-tech savvy, Spectrum will empower them to constantly monitor if their website’s server is up and running in a healthy condition, he added.

Spectrum will come in handy to alert and notify the tech team before the site crashes due to excessive traffic. The Gurugram-based SquareBoat, founded by ex-Slideshare and Naukri.com engineers in 2013 has already served close to 30 clients in healthcare, among other sectors.
