In the early 2000s, Adato became involved with systems monitoring and has since worked with a wide range of tools, including Tivoli, Nagios, Patrol, Zenoss, OpenView, SiteScope, and, of course, SolarWinds. He has designed solutions for companies that ranged from extremely modest (approx. 10 systems), to impressively large (5,000 systems), to ludicrous in scale (250,000 systems in 5,000 locations). He has experience monitoring all types of systems, including routers, load balancers, and SAN fabric, as well as Windows, Linux, and UNIX servers running on physical and virtual platforms.
His career includes key roles at Rockwell Automation, Nestlé, PNC, and Cardinal Health, providing server standardization, support, and network management and monitoring.
