What PRTG Includes
The PRTG installer contains all modules and software necessary to run the monitoring system without the need for third party modules, including:
- Paessler's own fast and efficient database system to store the raw monitoring results as well as logs, Toplists, and ToDos (outperforms SQL servers for monitoring data).

- Mail server for automatic email delivery.
- Report generator to create reports in HTML or Portable Document Format (PDF).

PRTG Network Monitor can support thousands of sensors and can optionally work with multiple remote probes to monitor multiple sites or network segments from one central core installation. You can also configure fail-safe monitoring using a cluster installation.
The software is based on Paessler's reliable monitoring technology, which has been constantly improved since 1997 and is already used by more than 150,000 users around the world every day. Attractive licensing packages from freeware (up to 10 sensors) to enterprise level (with thousands of sensors) make sure that every user finds the proper solution.
